What does Founding Supporter locked-in pricing mean?

If you subscribe as a Founding Supporter during Early Access, you keep paying the Founding rate after full release for as long as your subscription stays active. New subscribers after launch pay standard pricing.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes. Manage or cancel from your account settings. If you cancel and resubscribe later, Founding pricing may no longer apply.

Can I host my own game right away?

Hosting is invite-only while we scale. You can join the Game Master waitlist and we will grant access as quickly as possible.

What devices does Darkspire support?

Darkspire runs in any modern browser, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. No downloads required.

Will my data be safe during Early Access?

Yes. Your characters, campaign notes, and account data are securely stored and backed up.

Will my campaigns carry over when Darkspire leaves Early Access?

Yes. Your characters, campaigns, and notes are designed to follow you out of Early Access and into the full release.
