Online & Offline

Online Storage & Features

Any sandbox you generate is stored and managed online. When your sandbox is available online, you can all the editing tools HEXROLL offers, as well as the built-in VTT mode.

To maintain reasonable performance, HEXROLL uses fast distributed storage to manage this data, but it can fill up pretty quickly.

If you see the Ephemeral Sandbox note at the bottom-right corner of the screen, it means you have generated a sandbox as a guest and that your sandbox will be removed from our online servers three months after it was generated.

Important

Make sure you download a snapshot of your ephemeral sandbox before it gets removed so you can have your own copy for offline viewing.

Unlimited online storage

Subscribers to Pen, Dice & Paper on Patreon get to have unlimited online hosting of their generated sandboxes.

If you are a subscriber, you can claim any ephemeral sandbox you have generated by logging in to Patreon and navigating to your ephemeral sandbox URL. If the Ephemeral Sandbox note disappears from the screen, it means your sandbox has unlimited hosting duration.
