Five Director of Realms software tiers are planned, from Free to Beheaded & Banished for streamers. The software is in alpha: paid tier prices and availability are still to be announced, and the whole plan can change. You can join A Hill to Die On for free on Patreon now to follow development; that membership does not grant software access.

Planned These are proposed Director of Realms software tiers, separate from A Hill to Die On's free Patreon membership for updates. Tier names and features come from the module's own tier configuration; paid prices and availability are still to be announced. Features marked “Planned” aren't built yet, and commercial-use terms will be confirmed alongside the licence before paid software tiers open.

AI usage

Bring your own AI

Planned software tiers won't include cloud AI usage. Local models cost nothing per request; cloud providers bill you directly, and DoR tracks your AI spend against your own caps.

Maps

No image AI needed

Default maps are painted from their own layout, so a map costs nothing in image generation on any tier.

Prices

Prices to come

Prices for paid Director of Realms software tiers will be announced before those tiers open. The planned software Free tier is free; A Hill to Die On's separate Patreon membership is free to join now.

Questions

Before launch

What will the paid tiers cost?

Prices for paid Director of Realms software tiers haven't been set yet. They'll be announced before those tiers open.

When can I join?

You can join A Hill to Die On for free on Patreon now to follow development. Director of Realms software tiers are not open yet; their availability will be announced separately. Free Patreon membership does not grant access to the software.

Is the free tier a trial?

No. The planned Director of Realms Free tier is a software tier in its own right, with small generated maps, every AI model and local AI. It is separate from the free A Hill to Die On Patreon membership for updates.

Can I stream games I run with it?

Yes, on every tier. The streaming tools (Twitch viewer chat, audience votes, viewers spending Bits or channel points on twists and NPC choices, and an OBS overlay) come with Beheaded & Banished.

Can I use Director of Realms commercially?

Yes, on every tier, Free included: paid games, streams, recordings and published content are all fine. Redistributing Director of Realms itself, or making derivative works from it, needs my written permission.
