Subscription Guide

Overview

ScryRPG plans are built around AI capacity, shared table mechanics, and a small number of durable workspace benefits, not manual inventory or printing quotas. Free users can start with the looking glass, and paid plans add larger AI credit pools, more active campaign space, saved card decks, and table sponsorship.

What Stays Stable

• Core campaign, party, character, inventory, shop, loot, lore, Discord, and marketplace workflows remain available.
• Your familiar remains part of ScryRPG, not a separate product.
• You can check current usage in the web app or with /usage in Discord.
• Existing paid users and discounts keep the grandfathering rules shown during billing.

AI Credits and Read-Only Help

ScryRPG separates two kinds of AI usage:

Usage type	Meaning
Read-only help	Lower-cost help such as questions, prep support, and campaign reasoning. Launch plans include this with fair-use protection.
AI credits	Variable-cost work such as approved changes, imports, image generation, and other heavier AI tasks. Credits refresh by plan.

The goal is simple: routine questions should feel available, while heavier work is metered clearly.

Table Mechanics

Paid plans include shared table mechanics:

All for One

Paid users can contribute a table token during a billing cycle. When enough party members contribute, the party unlocks shared table benefits for that cycle.

One for All

Patron subscribers can sponsor one party so eligible members can draw approved changes from the Patron pool, subject to per-member caps.

Inventory, Shops, and Loot

Manual inventory changes do not spend AI credits. Plan limits focus on active campaign space and larger shared table workflows where limits are needed.

For day-to-day use:

• You can still view inventory, browse shops, and check the party’s characters and holdings without spending AI credits.
• Manual item creation does not spend AI credits.
• AI-driven creation, imports, image generation, and other AI-backed operations can spend credits.
• The app shows the current limit before a capped action is blocked.

Printable Card Benefits

Creating cards, using QR links, printing, and exporting PDF/PNG/ZIP are available on every plan. Plans differ only in how many reusable card decks you can save to your account and whether you can use a managed custom party back:

Plan	Saved card decks	Custom party back
Free	1	No
Player	10	No
Game Master	Unlimited	No
Patron	Unlimited	Yes

If you downgrade while above the new saved-deck limit, existing decks remain available to open, edit, print, export, and delete. You cannot save another deck or copy until you are below the limit or upgrade. A Patron Party back choice becomes dormant while unavailable and output safely falls back to Auto. It can be restored after re-upgrading only if the party still has that same managed image; the party GM can also clear the saved image without exposing its URL.

These are account benefits. All for One and One for All do not change saved-deck capacity or unlock custom backs for another account.

See the Printable RPG Cards: Card Studio Guide for the complete workflow, including local and saved decks, back modes, QR links, preflight, printing, and exports.

Billing Details

Billing Period

Usage resets by billing period, not by calendar month. Paid users reset on their subscription anniversary. Free users reset on their account cycle.

Monthly and Annual Plans

Monthly plans can be changed or canceled month to month. Annual plans provide a lower effective monthly price.

Changing Plans

Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades are scheduled for the end of the current billing period unless checkout tells you otherwise.

Founding Member Program

The Founding Member discount remains honored through billing and grandfathering rules. If you have a Founding Member discount, keep using the same account so it stays attached.

Checking Usage

You can check usage in three places:

• Web: Settings > Subscription
• Your familiar: ask about your remaining usage
• Discord: /usage

FAQ

Do normal inventory changes spend AI credits?

No. Manual inventory actions, manual item creation, and ordinary party management do not spend AI credits. AI credits are for AI-backed operations.

Do imports spend AI credits?

Yes. Imports use AI capacity when extraction or review requires model work. The import flow should show cost information before you confirm expensive work.

Is the assistant required?

No. Inventory, shops, loot, party management, lore, and Discord workflows continue to work without your familiar. Your familiar is an additional way to ask questions and take actions.

What happened to the old subscription programs?

They are replaced by AI credits, read-only help, All for One, and One for All.
