What Is DM Rewards?
DMs do a lot of work for their games, and the DM Rewards program recognizes their effort -- with cool stuff sent out up to three times a year to qualifying DMs! Here’s how it works:
-
Receive rewards just for signing up and keeping current. All DM Rewards members receive a special adventure in the spring (April-June) for keeping their contact information current with us. If you sign up for the program after the spring mailing, you will still receive the special adventure within 12 weeks. After your first adventure mailing, all you need to do is update your contact information at some point during the year to receive the next year’s adventure. Log in to your account and click on "Personal Info" in the "My Links" navigation on the right side of the screen to update your contact information.
-
Receive rewards for being the DM. Whenever you report a game session where you were the DM, you earn a point. Earn 5 or more points in a six-month cycle and you'll receive something cool in the mail. If you earn fewer than 5 points, they carry over to the next cycle. See the chart below for rewards cycles and mailing schedules.
-
Receive a cool new adventure each year. Every year, all DM Rewards members receive a brand new adventure written by the Wizards staff. These have a full-color cover and a full-color poster map. Check out this year’s offering below and remember – you can still get it if you sign up today!
-
Receive rewards you can use. For your hard work as a DM, we'll send you something special twice a year, as long as you earn at least 5 points in your current Rewards cycle. What kinds of things? We mix it up each time, but we focus on giving you cool stuff that you'll actually use at your table or while prepping your game. Take a look below to see what’s been offered recently!

How Do I Join?
There are two easy steps to joining the DM Rewards program.
- You must have an RPGA/DCI number. You can get one by attending a D&D event (such as a Wizards-sponsored convention or a Living Forgotten Realms public event) or by becoming a Wizards Play Network organizer. A third option is to read the information posted at Customer Service on joining the RPGA. If you already have an RPGA/DCI number, skip to step 2!
- Sign up for the program. You can do that from your profile page after you login to your personal page. Click on the link to enroll in DM Rewards and fill out the appropriate information. You will receive your first annual mailing within 12 weeks.
What Do I DM?
After you have an RPGA/DCI number and you’ve signed up for DM Rewards, all you need to do to start earning points is schedule and report games where you're the DM. Any game of D&D, including your home games, can be scheduled and reported through the event scheduling system accessible in your profile. You need to have 4-6 players, each with their own RPGA/DCI number, in order to report your game.
Schedule private D&D games by logging into your profile and setting up a private play session. To schedule public D&D games, you need to become an organizer with the Wizards Play Network. It’s easy, it’s free, and it gives you additional benefits.

DM Rewards: Ship Tiles
This full-color, double-sided
Dungeon Tiles sheet portrays both the main deck and below-deck areas of a longship, a pinnace, rowboats, and more! Each DM that scheduled and reported five sessions of play between January 1 and June 30, 2009 received two copies of the tile sheet – enough to run a longship-to-longship combat or create a layout showing both main and lower decks simultaneously.
Don’t miss out on the next exciting activity reward – schedule and report your DM sessions by December 31!
