Understand that certain features may be limited during the beta. These limitations are temporary and geared toward gathering user insights for improvement. We actively encourage users to provide feedback on their experiences. This includes reporting any bugs, suggesting improvements, and sharing insights on the platform. Your privacy is our priority. Rest assured, we follow strict privacy and security measures to keep your information safe.
As part of the beta process, we will release periodic updates to enhance functionalities. Users can anticipate iterative improvements based on the feedback received. The beta phase is a crucial step towards our full launch. Users' participation and feedback will play a pivotal role in shaping the platform's readiness for a wider audience.
It's important to communicate that we are passionate about the platform and deeply committed to its success. However, it's essential to note that, as individuals with day jobs, our availability to respond to user concerns and feedback may be influenced by our work schedules.
Tavrn is only focused on Dungeons and Dragons editions for the beta launch.
During the beta phase, users can expect a simplified search page without any adjustable filters. This approach allows us to focus on core features and gather user feedback. We will use this feedback to expand on the search page to be able to filter on highly needed filters like availability, game themes, game editions, game status, and more.
The beta will emphasize online game functionalities. While in-person game capabilities are available, the primary focus will be on refining the online gaming experience.
Users will be able to opt in to share their location (City, State) on their profiles. Profiles are only visible to users who have an account. In-person game pages will show the location (City, State) of where the game is being held.
If you plan on organizing or attending in-person game meetups, please adhere to our safety guidelines which will be available at launch. Your well-being is paramount.
