Beta tester guide

Anyone can join. Android and web. Free.

Thank you for testing. Terry the Tiny Tarrasque will eat the bugs you find, so please report them. Not installed yet? Start at Install the beta.

Your first ten minutes

1. Make a character with the character creator, or try an example character from the welcome screen.
2. Take a turn. Tap My turn, make an attack or cast a spell, and watch the turn bar tick off your action, bonus action and reaction. Pick digital dice or your own real dice when the app asks.
3. Take a rest. Rest, then Short or Long.
4. Level up once and read what the app asks you. Undo works if you change your mind.
5. Try a bigger idea. Cast Find Familiar or Find Steed and watch the companion card appear, import or make a small homebrew pack, mark a hero Dead or Retired, or use Print sheet from the menu.
6. Back up in Settings → Back up and import → Back up now. Save the file somewhere safe.

Then play the way you normally would at the table. That is the test that matters most.

Updates

• Most fixes arrive over the air. Open the app twice and you have them. Settings → About shows which update you are on.
• Bigger updates come through Google Play, like any other app.
• On the web, reload the page.

Reporting a problem

• Join the tester Discord: tinytarrasque.com/discord
• Or use Menu → Send feedback in the app (also in Settings → Feedback), or write to hello@tinytarrasque.com.

Please say what you did, what you expected and what happened. The class and level help. A screenshot helps more.

Known gaps

These are known and are not bugs to report.

• Rules content is the open System Reference Document 5.2.1 (the 2024 rules), with the 2014 rules (SRD 5.1) as an option per hero. Book content is not included.
• Some class features are text only. The app shows the rule but does not apply the numbers for you. Examples: Relentless Rage, Wild Resurgence, Heightened Focus.
• No targets or party. Features that depend on another creature, such as Cutting Words or Deflect Attacks, are tracked by you.
• The homebrew editor is in beta. You can make species, classes, subclasses, spells, items and feats, or import a pack, but some forms are still missing. The app ships no homebrew of its own.
• No account, no cloud sync and no party tools yet. Characters live on your device.
• Print sheet. On the web it opens your browser print dialog. On Android it uses the system print dialog, or you can share the sheet as a file.
• No iPhone app yet. The web version works on iPhone and iPad.

Your characters

Back up before you uninstall the app or clear your browser data. A backup file comes back with Settings → Back up and import.

Your data

Crash reports and usage stats are optional and stay off until you agree. See the privacy policy.

Beta terms

Tiny Tarrasque is beta software, offered free and as is, without any warranty. It can have bugs, and a bug can lose or change character data, so back up your heroes often (Settings → Back up and import → Back up now). Features, rules and file formats can change or be removed during the beta. As far as the law allows, I am not liable for lost data or for a rule the app gets wrong; the rules text and your table have the final word. Using the beta means you accept these terms, and questions go to hello@tinytarrasque.com.
