Terms
- A host license lets you host games on your own TV or phone. Players always join free.
- Keep names, drawings, messages and custom quests friendly for the content setting your table picked. We may remove anything hateful, illegal or hurtful, and turn off codes that are shared or abused.
- Quests you make with the quest maker stay yours, and you let us show them to anyone who enters their code.
- The game is offered as it is. We work to keep it running, but we can't promise it will never go down or that a saved hero can never be lost.
Privacy
- Saved heroes. If you save a hero, we keep your email and hero. Your password is stored scrambled (hashed), never as plain text.
- Games. Rooms keep the names, drawings and moves from that game. Room summaries (code, mode, number of players) help us see how the game is used.
- Hall of Fame and Discord. Big wins, natural 20s and new quests can show hero and crew names on the Hall of Fame page and in our Discord.
- Payments. Payments are handled by Creem. We never see your card. We keep your host code so it keeps working.
- Your browser. The game remembers small things on your device, like your hero and sound settings. The AI storyteller and voices download to your browser and run there.
- We don't sell your information or show ads.
- Email list. If you sign up for news, we keep your email address only to send you news about the game, a few times a month at most. Unsubscribe anytime at lanterncrawl.com/unsubscribe.html. We never sell or share it.
- Reviews. If you leave a review, we keep your stars, your comment and your hero's first name. We only show it on the homepage after reading it.
- Want your saved heroes deleted? Email Sterfry.heinz@gmail.com or ask in our Discord and we'll remove them.
