Frequently asked questions
Before you take a seat.
Can I download Taverne now?
Yes, with an invitation. Invited testers can sign in to download their version. Early access is gradually welcoming new tables; check the early access page for the waitlist status.
Which platforms are supported?
Windows and macOS. No Linux installer is offered for early access.
Which languages are available?
The website is available in French and English. English interface — some logs and error messages are still in French. Translation of the application is ongoing.
How much does it cost?
The app is free during early access. Testers keep a personal discount at launch. The final price and discount amount will be announced later.
Is this a VTT, with dice and character sheets?
No. Taverne is an atmosphere control room for in-person tabletop sessions. It does not replace your rules, character sheets or a VTT.
Do I need smart lights?
No. A computer and speakers are enough. A player screen and Philips Hue lights are optional additions.
Can I play offline?
Yes, with your local scenes and media, for up to 30 days after online licence verification. Initial activation and renewal require Internet access, as do online media and managed services.
Do I have to use AI?
No. You can create and edit every scene by hand. Managed AI and media services are available to authorised testers; you can also use your own keys.
