My friends started a campaign and I’m hoping that I can convince him to make it in this because normally online with no software is annoying

Discovering Roll20 was the best thing to come out of Covid restrictions. Not only did we keep our gaming sessions going remotely, but it’s been so successful that Roll20 is now our preferred gaming format. And all for free! 👏

i think the biggest change i'd make to this system is being able to build characters without joining/creating a game, would make it easier to have characters ready for when you join a game and make it easier to roll up backup characters incase of a death

another change i might make, add an initial gear portion to the charactermancer, it's a great tool but the basic steps it goes through still leaves you with a fairly incomplete character as i came to find out in my first game

[pistaeros]

As a new GM, this was reccomended to me by my old GM... now player. It looks amazing

[vestra]

Ok here we go my journey into the best thing to ever be created i can't wait thanks Roll20

[zakwright]

Wow it looks so well made! This looks so useful for storing everything about the game!

[chrisisgaming]

I love it since the pandemia pushed me there, I enjoy a new style of Pan & Paper, also with friends far away from me!

[thegrim]

This might make playing possible since my friends and I are now grown and can't gather nearly as easily.

How do you erase the mona lisa you drew on the map before the session;-;

[rickardrakkoon]

So you have to buy all the books and add on stuff AGAIN, digitally, just to access spell, item, character info?

[expat]

I am a beginner and never played. Was wondering which system to start on. And which one is better for beginners.

[WarlordSammy]

been wanting to play for awhile but don't know anyone who plays and its overwhelming. any tips that anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. thank you

[hannam]

tried using roll20 on my PHONE for my first game. never again.

[lucyvalentine]

Awesome but how do I upload custom music?

[SydneyVengeanceTV]

that hamburger menu right on the scroll arrow drives me nuts lol

[juanmaxramos]

Hello. on the rol20 website do they have a ww2 token?

[ChrissyPlus]

If i hit launch game, it doesnt start the game for everyone or mess up anything? I want to prep for the game but it's not game time yet and I don't want to mess with anything I'm not meant to

[fyshadow]

Have you think to create a spanish version if you got more support?

[alzathoth]

is there a paywall to play on Roll20? for example, if i want to play D&D5e and play an Artificer, do i need to pay anything for the 'advanced rules' of Tasha's Cauldron?

[someguy]

Is it possible to play on just a smartphone?
