◆ No expiry
Free means free. Your game stays put whether you play weekly or come back after a year off, and your players never need an account at all. Support the project if you want the caps above lifted — nothing here runs out on its own.
◆ Cyberpunk Red is uncapped
The caps above apply to Stars Without Number, Old School Fantasy, GrimDelve, and Derelict. The Cyberpunk Red VTT has no caps and no tiers at all — unlimited games, unlimited content, free for every GM and every player, permanently. A Cyberpunk Red game doesn’t use up your one free game either, so you can run one alongside whichever other system you pick.
Pick your VTT.
Your Free Tier game lives on exactly one VTT system. You choose which one when you create your game. Stars Without Number and Old School Fantasy are live now; three more are in development.

Questions about the Free Tier.
What does free actually get me?
Everything, with caps. Follow the Patreon page on the free tier (no payment), sign in, and you can run 1 game on any 1 VTT system forever, with unlimited players. Caps on the free account: 25 saved maps, 50 NPCs, 50 lore pages, 50 quests, 250 journal entries, 500 notes — sized so a weekly table can run for years. The Cyberpunk Red VTT is uncapped entirely and doesn't use up your one free game. There's no expiry and no card. Support the project any time and the caps come off; your existing content carries over with nothing to migrate.
Do my players have to pay?
Nobody pays. Players never pay and never need an account — they join your table from a single invite link — and the GM's account is free too. Paying is optional support, not a way in.
Does my content carry over if I support later?
Yes. Caps lift the instant your support is active — there's no migration step. Your game, NPCs, maps, lore, and notes all stay exactly as they were; you just stop hitting the caps when you create new ones.
