We have been pretty surprised about how high our player retention is. It's different for every DM but on the site overall it's pretty high. I think part of it is due to how much people really do want to play, and that they have paid for the session. I really do like the incentives idea though. That is something I want to explore more of now. Like a loyalty program for playing in a campaign.

Running paid games brings in a different type of player. As a DM, nothing has been more satisfying. Player retention has been great and I've never had more involved players.
Do you have any ideas about incentives I could offer as a DM?
Out of curiosity, what is player retention like in campaigns? Have you guys considered adding any incentives to keep players coming to the sessions? When I last played DnD, we would always have a ton of fun during the sessions, but it was difficult to keep everyone coming back regularly.
