Additional 24-hour day passes can be purchased alongside the monthly subscription. Now this isn't your fault, I had to do a good bit of digging before I even found this out, as they are nowhere near the final pricing model for Insider. For instance, the number of monthly free passes is still unspecified, but since they support they idea of 1 subscriber DM and 4-6 day-pass players, I'd assume you at least get that number per month. Considering the cost of source-books and the utilities you get, $15 month for a party is swallowable, but it'll all come down to how many day-passes you get and how much it costs to get more. Considering the heat their pricing model has gotten, I hope they start getting generous.
