Taleward

The community server

Want to run a game but not a server? Then use ours: taleward.taleward.org. We look after the server, you bring your group.

Get it on Google PlayOpen in the browser

How to get there

  1. Get the app

    The Android app on Google Play or the web app in the browser, on the iPhone too.

  2. Connect to the community server

    On first start choose “I want to run a game”, enter taleward.taleward.org as the address and create an account.

  3. Invite your group

    Create a campaign, share the link or QR code. Players only need the invitation. You need credit only once the first session is processed.

What it costs

Taleward is free for players. As game master you top up credit in advance, from €10, via Stripe or PayPal. Each processing run deducts what it actually costs, plus a small share for running the server. No subscription, and the credit does not expire.

Before each run you see an estimate. If it is more than €2, the run waits until you approve it. You can change that amount.

Where your sessions are processed

You decide per campaign. On our own worker we process your sessions without outside providers. Through the cloud, with Mistral in the EU, the chapters are more accurate. The cloud stays off until you switch it on for your campaign, and everyone at the table can see that it is on.

No chapter is flawless. Expect up to three spots per chapter that you put right with a note. How we measure

Your data

Your sessions belong to you. They are stored on our server in Germany, and in the app only you and your group can see them. As the operator we could technically see the data. We only look if you ask us to because something went wrong. We pass nothing on and sell nothing.

Privacy notice of the community server

Online on Discord

The Taleward bot for Discord works with the community server. It records each person in the voice channel on a separate track, only with every single person’s consent. More about the bot

If you want to move

Your chronicle belongs to you. You can take your campaign with you at any time, to your Windows PC, a Raspberry Pi or a server of your own. We refund remaining credit on request. Self-hosting
