So, I haven't even started looking into RW until lately. I am a backer, though, and now have a question:
I am an Alpha Wolf backer, receiving top tier cloud service for the life of my account. At least, that's what the KS says. Does this mean, that my players don't have to buy the Players software, in order to access my stuff through their browser for EVER?! |

Dryder.. The top tier just means you have the most access to the cloud based abilities of Realm Works. It does not give you extra privileges for people outside of your account such as your players. Now the web based browser player version of RW is not implemented nor will it be for a while yet even after the touted player version coming out in May.
It is unclear on if they will charge for the web based version either. .. hope I answered some of your question |

Dryder, my understanding is exactly as yours: You have lifetime cloud access and your players, should they choose to only use the Web access, will be able to do so for free. Yes, they can purchase the player or full version if desired, but it would not be required for what I'm guessing is required for them to see information you have shared with them via the cloud. |

Just to make it official, the answers above are all basically correct. To sum up...
* Alpha Wolf backers get free everything for their personal account for life. * Players can utilize the web-based access for free once it's available. * Players can utilize the Player Edition if they choose to purchase it, but there is no requirement to do so. The price is currently projected to be $9.99. * GMs do NOT need to purchase the Player Edition to access a realm as a player. They will simply use their full copy of the product to do so. Hope this helps! |

Will there be an option for players to store their notes on the realm? or is the player view just that a view only
Thanks Rob |

Any update on when the player version / player web access will be available? My campaign is getting complex enough that I'm considering starting a wiki for player info - exactly what Realm Works was supposed to replace.

We're hoping to have news about the Player Edition in the next week or so. Thanks for checking in.

Will it be possible to contain a locally available web service. For instance, could I publish the content locally such that I could access it locally and others on my local network could access it?
Essentially there may be instances in which me and my group may not have internet access. I would like the ability to publish the content so that they can access it via a local web page. |

I think that is on their radar. (Think!)
Sleet was enjoying a tasty beverage at his local tavern, when a Tarrasque showed up in the local area. He managed to valiantly get on it's back and ride it. How he did it is a mystery to this day...
