As our community knows, we’ve been nose-down and hard at work on some major feature releases for this fall. Today, we’re excited to peel back the curtain a bit and show off what’s coming around the corner. This is just one step on our path to deliver the world’s best play and creation tools for the RPG community.

We know you’re eager and excited to see, so let’s dive right in…

Coming This Month: New Sheets & Templates

In the many months since we first launched Early Access, we’ve seen this community create thousands of unique game templates in Role. We’re honestly blown away, and overjoyed that these features have been as meaningful as we always hoped.

We’ve listened intently to every piece of feedback, and we know you want more customization options, new gameplay elements to help support your favorite games, better readability, and more powerful options for customizing and organizing your sheets mid-game. To that end, we’re preparing to launch a complete overhaul of our sheets & templates system – one that aims to be both more powerful and more accessible to use. And your existing sheets? Never fear! Everything will convert over to the new system without loss. Our aim is for you to gain powerful new tools without losing anything you already love.

This release is coming at the end of this month, and we’ll be deep-diving into each of our major changes very soon. Keep a look out!

Early Access is now FREE!

We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who has backed our Kickstarter, and every Early Access backer who has joined Role in the months since. This community has helped us not only test and grow our features, but also helped support the infrastructure we’ve needed to keep it moving smoothly.

However, we want Early Access to have as low a barrier for entry as possible for everyone. To that end, we’re happy to announce that we’ve made Role Early Access 100% free for the foreseeable future! We’ve done the math, and we’re now confident we can support our growing community as we continue to build, test, and learn together. You won’t see any paid feature requirements until well after Role leaves Early Access. We have a long road ahead, and we’re just happy to have everyone playing here as we go.

For everyone who’s paid to support us so far: We see you! Your contributions are a big deal to us, and we intend to honor them now and always. As Role eventually leaves Early Access and continues to grow, you’ll be among the first to see and test new features we’re developing. And of course, when a subscription option finally does come, your early support will be honored as promised.

This is a big day for all of us in the Role community! Thank you for being part of the adventure with us. We do this for you, and we are so excited to bring you even greater things in the near future.
