Feature request:

For public games, it would be nice if there was a way (similar to kickstarter) to have a minimum number of people attached to the game before it starts/gets-funded, otherwise it doesn't happen.

I would be very interested in trying this out, but do not want to end up paying for a 1 on 1 session if no one else joins.

As a DM, I control this. I keep open communication with the players about start dates and player counts.

It's easy enough for me to cancel a session before anyone gets charged.
