Thanks for coming to check out this feature. Before we start, we must cover the essentials.

Critical warnings: please read


This branch contains unfinished features and bugs.

This branch is temporary and is backed by temporary servers. As such:

No boards or campaigns from the main branch are available.
Everything made on this branch will be destroyed at the end of the testing period.
Data may be cleared with very little notice if it aids in testing that brings the features closer to release.
We will not be attempting to recover anything lost in the course of testing unless it helps us fix the provoking bugs.
We do not guarantee any slabs will work from the main branch or vice versa. Often they will, but we likely will not be providing support for things damaged by moving slabs between branches.


If any of the above is an issue for you, please do not try this beta.

Reporting Bugs


This branch is all about the bugs, so we have set up a temporary bug reporting channel for reporting problems specific to this branch.

You can find it here: https://feedback.talespire.com/b/symbiotes-beta-bug-reports

Switching to the Beta branch


To switch to the beta branch, you do the following:

  • Open Steam
  • Right-click on TaleSpire
  • Choose "Properties..."
  • Switch to the "BETAS" tab
  • Enter the password de30ac25c3e648309002f 
  • Click the "Check Code" button
  • Click on the blue "Opt Into" bar that appears

If it doesn't automatically switch the active beta for you, you can pick `symbiotes-beta` from the "Select the beta you would like to opt into:" drop-down.

Switching branch should enqueue a download for the Beta build of TaleSpire.

  • Open Steam
  • Right-click on TaleSpire
  • Choose "Properties..."
  • Switch to the "BETAS" tab

Documentation and Examples

This Beta is rather different from our past ones. That because, while there will be many Symbiotes to try out in future, today we are mainly providing the tools for people to start building with.
However here are a few resources:

Below are a few clips showing things your Symbiotes have access to.
Tight integrations between websites and TaleSpire using the API.
Here we show how the creators of dddice.com bring roll results into TaleSpire's history.
Using a Symbiote to add support for advantage and disadvantage rolls
An API you can leverage to make character sheets for your favorite rule system
We include a dice-finder that can be added with a single line and works with a variety of sites out of the box
Sending notes to players
Getting the current creature selection
Subscribing to slab copy events

Thank you!


Thanks for checking it out. We are very eager to get this to the rest of the community, and your help is much appreciated.

We'll see you in the bug reports :P
