Inspired by her own experiences in the tabletop gaming world, Dove created Dungeons Not Dating to address the challenges of finding compatible groups while fostering a safe and welcoming space for players of all backgrounds.

“Dungeons & Dragons is a magical experience that thrives on collaboration, trust, and creativity,” Dove said. “I wanted to create a platform where everyone feels they belong—where players can discover their tribe and build meaningful connections.”

App Features Prioritize User Experience

The app offers a suite of features tailored to enhance the gaming experience:

• Personal and Character Profiles: Users can set up detailed personal profiles highlighting their D&D experience, playstyle preferences, and availability, as well as character profiles showcasing their in-game persona’s background, alignment, and quirks.

• Custom Matching Algorithm: A proprietary algorithm matches users with compatible players based on gaming style, character preferences, and group dynamics.

• Group Messaging: Integrated chat functionality allows users to interact with potential party members, discuss campaign ideas, and assess compatibility before committing to a game.

• Dungeon Master Tools: Dungeon Masters can create profiles, announce campaigns, and manage player applications, ensuring a streamlined experience for both new and seasoned DMs.

The app also prioritizes player safety, with built-in features to report and block disruptive users, creating an environment where respect and inclusion are paramount.

Core Values Shape Platform Mission

Dungeons Not Dating is built around the belief that everyone deserves a seat at the table. The platform’s core values include:

1. Inclusion: Celebrating diversity and providing a safe space for all players, including women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and neurodivergent gamers.

2. Community: Fostering connections that extend beyond the gaming table.

3. Creativity: Encouraging imaginative gameplay and storytelling.

4. Player Autonomy: Empowering players to choose their ideal gaming group.

5. Authenticity: Promoting honest and meaningful interactions.

“Gaming is at its best when everyone feels seen, heard, and valued,” Dove said. “Dungeons Not Dating is more than an app—it’s a movement to redefine the tabletop gaming community.”

How It Works

To get started, users create their profiles, detailing their gaming history, preferences, and character information. The app’s algorithm then suggests compatible players and groups. Users can engage in group chats to gauge compatibility, plan campaigns, and schedule sessions. Whether users are seeking online play or in-person meetups, the platform makes it easy to connect and coordinate.
