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! 👏
@@bryceblazegamingyt9741 - hi, we don’t play any games that need or use any Roll20 Compendiums, but from what I understand i thought you can still play without buying any of those anyway?
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
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
My sons and I live in different states, would roll20 be a good option for us to start playing dnd? I played in my teens, but starting from scatch again. Thanks ahead for any guidance.
@@hannam2922 lol oh dear. I know this is for pc but I'm hearing bad reviews on it as even I'm curious about it as well. This online d&d thing could be the world if done right.
I’m new to DND. Anyone want to run a game with me this weekend and help me out? I’d really appreciate it I’m a total NOOB tbh and the only thing I’ve done so far is make my RP Character
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?
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
Hello just to ask, is there a way where i can select one or multiple tokens which the tokens show the character model, but shows their face portraits when being select like a RTS unit panel (Like warcraft 2). I am quite new in Roll-20!
So am I able to play a full game on my mobile phone with this? I'd love to be able to if not as I'm mostly bedbound so pc / laptop isn't always an option
Hi there! All unassigned (meaning no character sheet connected to them) tokens - whether purchased or free, can be found in your Art Library on the VTT. More tokens are available on the Marketplace and can be found in Modules, Addons, or Art Packs (be sure to check the item's description to make sure they include tokens). You can also keep an eye out for special events - such as Roll20Con or Roll20 sponsored charity events - that give away Token Sets!
The only people still using roll20 are the ones that spent $ on digital books. There are way to many other platforms that are user friendly for knoobs.
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
Awesome. Let us know how it goes!

These are really kind words and we're very happy you took the time to let us know. We're so glad we could help!
How do you use it for free? The site just keeps telling me to buy a compendium.

covid was so quirky

you can make a character without joining a game. I just started and have only my 1 character created so far
You got your wish! We released Roll20 Characters last year, which gives you the power to do exactly that: app.roll20.net/characters/
As a new GM, this was reccomended to me by my old GM... now player. It looks amazing
Wow it looks so well made! This looks so useful for storing everything about the game!
Ok here we go my journey into the best thing to ever be created i can't wait thanks Roll20
You're gunna be great! Good luck!
This might make playing possible since my friends and I are now grown and can't gather nearly as easily.
I love it since the pandemia pushed me there, I enjoy a new style of Pan & Paper, also with friends far away from me!
So you have to buy all the books and add on stuff AGAIN, digitally, just to access spell, item, character info?
Yes unfortunately. But I believe they are much cheaper.
nice tutorial :D
that hamburger menu right on the scroll arrow drives me nuts lol
I am a beginner and never played. Was wondering which system to start on. And which one is better for beginners.
Thank you!
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
I’m in the same boat. Do you have a discord?
Anyone who reads this to have a smaller group you can sort them on find games
It's a lot harder to use on mobile but it's all I have

Yes! My GM lives three time zones away. We start playing at 8pm and he starts at 5pm.
How do you erase the mona lisa you drew on the map before the session;-;
tried using roll20 on my PHONE for my first game. never again.
Lol same
I don't think it's meant for a smartphone.......
@@Amp661 ya think🤣

Have you think to create a spanish version if you got more support?
Thanks
wow awesome lol
Awesome but how do I upload custom music?
Hey Roll20, any info on the new Rest buttons on your character sheet?

Hello. on the rol20 website do they have a ww2 token?
Does this program work on tablets?
Is it possible to play on just a smartphone?
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?
Yes or put everything included in the class by hand
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
Where do I find those tokens? I like the images but I can't find them
Hello just to ask, is there a way where i can select one or multiple tokens which the tokens show the character model, but shows their face portraits when being select like a RTS unit panel (Like warcraft 2).
I am quite new in Roll-20!
Is this only for pc. Or is there a mobile version
I don't get any of the chat stuff
Fix the echo audo.
what happens if the person is dyslexic and is difficult to read the sheets and other functions
So am I able to play a full game on my mobile phone with this? I'd love to be able to if not as I'm mostly bedbound so pc / laptop isn't always an option
Laptop is perfect for bedbound lol. If you can use a phone in bed, you can use a laptop.
@@Remmy0930 Have you tried using a laptop flat in your back?
Is this the roll for sandwich guy
#1 read comments.
#2 notice all the unanswered questions
#3 use dnd beyond and foundry
Only if I had friends
Has Roll20 ever thought about doing the same quality video in French?

This still doesn't explain how to acquire tokens. Can't start a campaign without that explanation.

its also not hard to make your own if you are slightly proficient with photoshop like programmes
The only people still using roll20 are the ones that spent $ on digital books. There are way to many other platforms that are user friendly for knoobs.
And you didn't name even one...
i cant even make an acc
Lololol. Text rolling.
英語じゃねーかｗｗｗ
And how do I get started if I don't have a group to play with and I have never played dnd? I would really like to get into it
There are tags on diffrent sessions thatll say "new players welcome" but i am also new so i can only say what ik so far
you own all the physical books.. to bad, if you want to have more options, then you must buy them again digitally ... yeah .. no thanks
Thank you!!!
