Find Yourself A Gaming Group Using New Muster App
December 4, 2017 by dracs
Warr Studios have developed a new app to help players connect with each other and find out who is up for a game.
The app is called Muster, and offers a social networking service to allow players to create their own profiles and look for any groups which play games they are interested in.
It also allows you to chat with your gamer friends, keep track of sessions, and find stores in your area.
I have heard lots of people lamenting how they can't find game groups where they live and I remember that feeling well when I first moved to Japan. An app like this is a great idea and will help new gamers to get playing the games they want.
Muster is now available from iTunes and Google Play.
Do you plan to use this app?

But an awesome looking app.
Tinder but for games lol
Tinder for games? Well I know there will be more people getting off on this but yeah the male to female ratio will be about the same.
Hi! Jack here, Co-Founder of Muster – We’re only listed on the UK app store for admin reasons and so that we can focus on building up a big community in Britain and specifically in London – having said this we’re not at all opposed to people outside of the UK downloading the app or using it – the way we’ve built it means that there are no changes that need to be made to make it work overseas. If you’d like to leave a message on our Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/MusterApp, then i can organize sending an APK for you… Read more »
Here in the States there is a definite want among the RPG players for something like this.
Maybe this would be a winner when Gen Con comes around next year.
Good luck!
i think the problems tabletop gamers face in the uk are amplified in the states, where distances can be ten, or even fifty times larger than in the uk. we’re not very familiar with the situation in the us, so we’d be very thankful for any insight people feel like sharing with us
I agree, I used to drive an hour each way once a week for Shadowrun. That game lasted 4 years and was a blast.
Signed up and hope to see a bit more activity in the States. Best of luck for the future.
I can’t reply to your comment below for some reason (comment nesting limit?) We would love to have more activity worldwide. We did only launch this weekend though, so it will take time to spread. One thing current American users can do for us is to spread the word, both to players and local game stores, who can also have an account (if they contact us)
We’re now available in Australia! (and the rest of the world)
It will only be as good as the number of users.
We totally agree – have you signed up yet?
What??? I have to post a photo ??? ^&&^^ me, I’ll never get any action that way. Who wants to play with a crazy old guy …… damn and i had such hopes ….. bugger
Yeah what kind of sick weirdo uses their picture on the internet?
Lol … I know have to be a real weirdo 😛
Gamr? 😮
pretty much, but we didn’t want to confuse people about our purpose, we’re a social-network/match-making tool, rather than a dating app!
Fantastic idea but why the requirement to have a Facebook account? That’s probably a stupid question but don’t have nor will I ever have a Facebook account so not sure why it’s required as a log in?
Our team at Muster thought long and hard about the use of Facebook authentication as the way of creating accounts on our app. Free-form, email only accounts would create intentional and accidental redundancies; meaning profiles that other players would not want to connect with. (because of a username, rather than real name, or a picture of something other than a face). We know that no system is perfect so no method would have resulted the ideal profile for every player. We’re very interested in hearing peoples reaction to our reasoning, and hope that people understand and agree with us, but… Read more »
Thanks for the reply Jack. I certainly understand your reasoning and I have no doubt that the pool of wargamers using Facebook is much much larger then those that don’t, so from that perspective alone I don’t see many people bringing it up as an issue. To be fair it makes solid sense to approach authentication in this manner and I hope the app thrives going forward. Hopefully as the app expands other options might become available for the few non Facebookers out there.
Regards and best of luck
I’m curious about the business model, is it free to use? Are some features pay walled? This doesn’t sound like a hobby project app!
Everything Free! Because we don’t want to stifle growth, we don’t believe in having any barriers to entry for our users! We want to be the first platform that is truly universal, and part of that means getting as many people on board as possible.
It’s not a hobby project app, but we don’t plan on ever charging users!
I met the guys at Dragonmeet on Saturday, and I was impressed with their demo of the app.
I think this will be really good.
Signed up. Since the makers are active here, some feedback: – First of all, this already looks most promising of apps like these. I’ve tried bunch of different player finders over the years and none have ever gotten any traction. I hope you guys will! – I think it’d be nicer to ask to load FB friends later in the app, if the user wants to import them. I was able to uncheck that in the first auth step, but people often don’t notice this. Most of my FB friends have nothing to do with tabletop gaming. – The game… Read more »
