Bard Tiers
Work in Progress
This documentation is still being expanded and refined. Features, screenshots, and descriptions may change until Talescape's public release. If something is unclear or you need help, please ask on the official Talescape Discord. We're happy to clarify or update pages as needed.
Bard Tiers define how many stories you can create, how much storage is available, and how collaboration features scale. They ensure a smooth start for newcomers while rewarding experienced creators who publish regularly and uphold Talescape’s standards.
Tiers apply only to Bards (authors). Dreamers (players) are not affected.
