Subscription & Financing (3)
Yes, tables will have the option for the Game Master to charge per session, and payments can be managed directly through the App. Critical Match will not receive any benefit for any of these operations, although additional charges generated by the payment platforms themselves may apply.
The App will have 3 subscription models: one free, and two paid models. The features available for the paid subscription levels will be adjusted to cover the cost of the features in order to make a profit. Users with the free subscription model will have built-in advertisements, which will help generate the revenue to support the cost of the services. This is all, the company will not receive any profit for creating pay tables.
Yes, the App will be available for free. Free users will have a limit to play on 3 tables at the same time, as well as integrated ads. Higher subscription levels will unlock these limits as well as add customizations and other extra features.
Security (1)
Option to establish safe spaces at the gaming tables (LGBTI+ Friendly, Girls Only, etc.). – Option to include security tools such as X-Card, Lines and Veils, etc. – Creation of a private table to be accessed only through an invitation link. – User reporting system for situations of harassment, abuse, etc. that will result in blocking and expulsion from the App if so deemed by our moderation team. – Padlocked profile to avoid direct messages and other information to strangers.
Features (10)
Yes, users will earn achievements as they sign up to play or run RPG tables. These achievements will have to do with the systems, the theme, and feedback from their tablemates, so it will be possible to know the tastes and way of playing of each one by just taking a look at the achievements in their profile.
You will be able to use the integrated chat and the dice roller with the rest of the players. If these options are sufficient for your group you will be able to play without the need of another external platform.
The search engine has a powerful filter that you can use to find the table that suits you best. You can filter by the days and time slots you have available, physical location, favorite VTT system, game system, number of players, language, specific hashtags, etc.
Players will be able to request access to the table they are interested in at any time by swiping the card to the right or entering from the card details. The Game Master will see these requests in a queue of interested parties, and will have to approve their admission (after consulting their profile or talking to them).
Absolutely. The app will have the option to manage communities. In the community you will be able to indicate global guidelines that will affect all the members of the community, invite new members, and make private tables only for the community. If the games are payable, each Game Master will be able to decide his payment method, or a common payment method can be set for all the tables in the community.
Yes, using the community management, in the same way as explained in the previous answer.
The app will be available in English and Spanish from day 1 of its launch. New languages will be added later.
It will be available for Android and iOS in mobile format out of the box. In addition, we are working on an adaptation for web and tablets that will be released later.
Yes, the App will notify you on your device when the RPG session is about to start, so there will be no more forgetfulness.
Yes, a chat will be created per group (table), and you will also be able to write direct messages to other users of the platform. This will avoid sharing confidential information such as phone numbers.
Business Strategy (2)
It is estimated that by February 2023 the first beta will be accessible from the Discord community. After that there will be a time of 2 to 3 months to make adjustments and improvements. Hopefully by May 2023 we will have the first release open to the public.
Yes, in the future you will also be able to create an adventure diary with material associated with the RPG table: character sheets, items, map images, session summaries, etc. This will be visible to people who join to watch your table. Later on we are thinking of including a social wall to share your experiences with the whole community!
