Permission to view Districts is controlled by the creator and can include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Private (self only)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Affiliates (self + friends)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Residents (self + anyone with a City of Brass account)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Public (anyone with Internet access)</li> </ul>So, if your question is, can your players see your game world and keep up-to-date with it, without paying for a City of Brass account, the answer is yes. They cannot edit it, however, without an account and without you configuring them as a Contributor. Now, distinct from Districts, is Campaign Manager. This is a tool inside City of Brass specifically intended to bring player information (such as character sheets) together with DM information (such as game recaps). Campaign Manager and it's features are available only to subscribers. In fact, the best tools of Campaign Manager are only useful if your players are active in the City. You cannot, for example, look at a players character sheet, if that player doesn't have a sheet in the City. If you would use Campaign Manager only for pushing information to your players (like game recaps), you can easily mimic that functionality inside World Builder, so they can get to it for free. It's probably worth explaining this choice, as there are lots of folks who would like some sort of free access, at least for players. Our objective is to deliver this service at as low a cost as possible. If you sign up and pay annually, you get access to the City for $2 a month. That's less than the pop most of us will drink at a gaming session. But the only reason we can offer it so low, is that our bandwidth and features are not being utilized by people not paying for them. So-called "free" accounts are not free, they're just paid for by other people. Every free user is a bit of extra overhead that paid subscribers would need to carry.Lucas</blockquote>
