Supporter and Mentor advantages DEMO

Hi there, I would like to see a way to TRY the payment advantages before purchasing them. This obviously have some issues like making a new account just for abusing the demo time or using that demo time to lurk the supporter/mentor forums, so it doesn't has to have full access. It would be nice to try things as mobile app or dynamic lights. Not because "I would like to see the product before purchasing it", I know these are donations to help roll20. It's more like "look how awesome these features are, become a supporter today!". Maybe a 1 hour access to some features, or a way to create a new game marked "supporter demo" where you can play and experiment with dynamic lights as a GM, but you can't invite players. I think it will boost subscriptions with the extra perks they already have and the ones to come. Thanks for your work.

+1 I think keeping all that stuff secret, especially a list of whats coming and being worked on only hinders users from paying.  There have been a few streams posted about new features, but only supporters can see them.  I think if you blasted them all over the front page users would watch and go, awesome I gotta pay to get these new features or to help get these features made.  As it is I think you get lots of people on the fence.  I just can't use Roll20 for my face 2 face sessions that much just yet and I don't have any remote sessions until maybe summer planned so I've been sitting on the fence and trying out some of the competition.  I need something to push me over the edge and buy a year! :)

I created a board for a friend so that he can play with some of the stuff on the main server that subscribers can get like the dynamic lighting. It gives him a taste of what subscribers get as a GM so find a friend that is a subscriber and have him give you GM status on a game board just for you to play with. If my friend likes what he gets to play with, he will buy a subscription.
I remember you kindly offering the same to me when I asked Metroknight, and I'm a complete stranger. You are awesome :)
The amount of time programming something like this to not be taken advantage of would be too much to spare any time in the foreseeable future.  While I think we will do more videos and documentation on the benefits of subscribing, the "free trial" is the colossal free program that everyone has access to.  If you think that's impressive, we're working everyday to make the subscription even more so.
