6 years later, still some of the most helpful Roll20 content out there. Kudos, Cody!
OMG thabk you so much for this video! I am new to roll20 and created a massive homebrew. I was at a loss as to how to give my players a proper "journal" without sending files out ALL the time! With this I can put everything in the handouts and move things they learn along the way for each location faction etc.. This is amazing! Ive been blindly hoping one day a magic solution would crawl my way. HERE IT IS!!! 100's of word documents in a single and easy hyperlink format. Yesssssssssss
The fact that you can link to archived handouts is just about the most useful thing
this is the sort of functionality I would expect to already be built into the compendium if you have bought stuff from the marketplace.
These are so helpful, I for sure won't use everything that you put in (I don't think I'm going to add a whole Player's Handbook in) but thank you so much for publishing all these videos!
Wow Cody, these get better and better. Can't thank you enough!
Thanks Darren! I still have a few things in the works that I think you'll dig. ;-)
"If you have a digital copy, because you *scanned it in*, you can do this..." lololol wink wink wink
I have no idea what you're talking about.
YOU HEAR THAT, NSA? We know nussing.
"That simple"
You're insane man \o/
It's really too bad you cant export things like this, cause i would use the hell out of this!
These videos are so good, really takes the pressure off me as a new GM as I don't have to spend 10mins trying to find a rule in the book. Keep it up man!
Thank you so much. I will certainly try.
dude you are a monster i am actually overwhelmed.
Thanks Gus!
The whole series is excellent, thank you, more people need to know about this. So I've told my friends! Liked, Commented and Subscribed!
I hit the like button before even watching! This is great bud, cant wait for the next video that looks awesome.
Wow. What a compliment! Thanks a ton.
Can we link to the in-game Compendium? I used 5e OGL and have access to the SRD Compendium.
I love your energy mate en your video are so helpful. Thankyou.
Very nice! I will try that in my next session!
Glad you like it!
This is incredibly useful!
Thank you.
This is very nice. Will make it allot easier for me to have the information close without having to have multiple programs open or a book at the ready.
But I was wondering how you would do the spell book with sorting, since it would contain allot of handouts and tags?
I came here looking for how to make my own Character Classes for DnD5e that wouldn't be in the Standard rules in Roll20
how to link to the charactermancer or add custom feets that would interact with the sheet..
so when i saw you created your own Players handbook i got hopeful.. then you went about rambling how powerful the tools are and didn't really show us what i was looking for.. Great tutorial for linking stuff for a custom campaign. Not what the title of the video said it was
Oh man that's cool, thanks for the video.
Isn't this the same info you have in the built-in compendium if you buy the books through Roll20? Or did they not have those built-in compendiums in 2016?
Dude!! Congrats for the awesome job!! It helps me a looot!! Cheers from Brazil, ok?
Sending a Texan-sized thank you right back at ya!
Hi,
Just getting into using Roll 20 and I was curious if doing all this is necessary anymore or is this something that’s now all in the compendium?
This is awesome. On a scale of 1 to I am lazy, what are the chances you'd be willing to jump into my campaign and drop in your PHB through transmogrifier?
great vídeo. congratulations
Great 'How to" video. But I was wondering if there was a way to import/export the work you have done creating the PHB, to give or save onto another campaign or account? If so, how?
Another game? Absolutely. Simply copy the campaign. Another player/dm? No. It can't be done as well as there would be some copyright issues (I believe you would be considered to be distributing the product at that point).
Awesome!!! You're my hero
So I’m late to the game with Roll20. Can you create your own PHB or do you have to purchase it in the Marketplace?
Can you do a video on how to use addons? Recently bought tales of the yawning portal, and I am completely lost.
This is great!!! It helps a lot!!!
Glad you like it. More on the way.
Amazing vid and info! i really needed this, thnx a lot! :D
I'm a fairly inexperienced roll20 DM, so I need to ask. Why would a DM want to do this for the PHB versus searching up the information in the Compendium? I can understand doing it for campaign notes, but what's the point of doing it for the PHB or MM here?
The compendium only has the SRD (free version of PHB thats missing a lot from the paid PHB) so there are a lot of spells and subclasses missing unless you want to pay the $30 for the roll20 version of PHB
This is also extremely helpful for folk not running anything already built into Roll20, such as Shadowrun, 3rd Ed.
Thanks man, great video. Just subbed!
Glad to have you! More stuffed planned.
Amazing ... Awesome ... I bow to your general greatness and click subscribe :)
Thanks, I can finally stop answering the Q - how does this work again :D
I'm playing a trader in Stars Without Number and want to be able to create and share contract documents with other characters in the game. I've created draft contracts in Word and I know it's possible to convert these to jpeg's and drag them onto the map screen, but I really want to be able to link them to a whisper directed to the other player to simulate a comms transmission with their new contract attached. I don't think I can do that as a player, but I was hoping not to have to hassle the GM everytime I did a new deal.
how did you get the formatting to resemble 5e when creating handouts for the player handbook?
Put [brackets] around the handout title and it will link it.
I have a few issues with / questionsabout this video.
1. I got how you link from one handout to another, but you never showed how you added the charts (like the wizard character leveling chart from the PHB into a handout. I can only conclude witchcraft was involved.
2. Did you have to type all those sections of the PHB in by hand (or cut and paste and then reformat everything)? Is there no way to link to the SRD that Roll20 has built in?
3. What's the macro to pull up the wizard class abilities in chat that you then linked to your PHB?
1 - When you're creating a handout, there's an option to directly include an image (you can see it clearly at 8:02), from there you can upload any chart/image you've scanned from your manual.
As for 2 and 3, I'm not sure, will play a little and comment again if I find something
1. You can add your own Tables using the button (the square one at the top of the textfield). Looking at the formatting I assume he actually scanned the physical PHB-Page and cut that part out of the image.
2. I know it's not very nice to speak for others but I'll be so free to quote his answer to another question in this comment section: "I had this way before WotC released the SRD, which took some time before Roll20 implemented a 5e compendium."
2.5: Yes, you can link the things from the (DnD5e)Compendium to your Handout. If you drag&drop something from the compendium into the map it gets added into your library and you can link it just like any other handout.
3. If I interpret this question correctly it is answered with his next video in the playlist.
Damn this is powerful
@taking20 Is there really no way to export your handout setup for others to copy over on their end?
@Taking20 - Hey Cody, I found out that if you Archive Handouts, they are not available in the External Journal. Is there any way around this?
Hey bro, can you export these as .json files with te VTT extension and share with us?
Man i am missing something. I made a handout called "players handbook" wrote " chapter 2- races" in its description. then made another handout called " Chapter 2 - Races " wrote some stuff in its description. went back to the "players handbook" went to edit and placed [ ] around Chapter 2 - Races and it did absolutely nothing but put brackets around the words.....did NOT create a link ....for my sanity plz help
Looks like no one has replied. I'd make sure your capitalization is the same in both forms.
I was thinking of making treasure /magic card decks-when the player-archive treasure draw money/gems/art/mundane/from one deck setting a macro for dm roll for the draw number of cards to draw magic /scroll /m items in another ,giving the players a more interactive exp. What are your thoughts ?
Also could set up other tiers in the decks for higher levings,and for GM use tired/ Reigned monster decks for quick needs.. and world builds or Make a set of cards to have map screenshots for location /events /random roaming (player intro).
Is there a way to make a macro to a custom token asa1d2 and make custom coins to drop as gold, just once for the pure visual effect.. (may crash the game thow. ) can you link card to drop to player. items /and or to the table . IE Deck of many things,.
Use a Rollable table, They are in roll20 (Threebars then scroll down under decks) they are used for Loot tables mostly but can be used for many other things set up items in the table equal to your cards and roll XD
@@jimmytan9967 thanks for your reply in doing some more u tube collage i have learned some more about r20 from yours and other vid.It is hard to get help people r20.Their like Had to learn it on my own and so should you .Your videos help out a lot .I would by lost in r20 hell if not for u thank you.. your video are well thought out and very informative ..
isn't the compendium a players handbook? what is the benefit of having the players handbook on the game?
2 reasons.
1. I had this way before WotC released the SRD, which took some time before Roll20 implemented a 5e compendium.
2. I have the full player's handbook + supplements, which means I have a ton of stuff WotC left out of the SRD like spells, feats, etc + Elemental Evil, and I've even added the information of deities from SCAG.
If that makes sense lol.
Taking20 it does thanks for the quick response!
Your tips are going to help me greatly at DM my compaigns!
Thank you so much Travis! I love hearing the videos actually HELP people... and aren't me just rambling to myself. ;-)
bit late. but also for anyone watching. Even today in 2017, the compendium is NOT completed. Theres TONS of backgrounds missing. (theres literally only 1 in there) its missing TONS of spells still. while it "gets you by" it does miss a lot.
Not complaining about it, its a great resource, but i dont think i could call it a players handbook.
i have an idea xD make it so we can get it all lol i'd pay for this convenience
6:42 for when he finally gets around to showing you how to link. Jesus F%^& Christ Cody.
thank you very much, a good smell
Why would you even need this? Doesn't the compendium have all that info?
I take that back...the compendium is missing a LOT of info! omfg....smh
Also for people playing other RPGs that don’t have the same support that 5e has yet. Like Savage Worlds or Warhammer 4e in my case.
Fuck me that’s so much work lol
i.. i wish i hadn't seen this Video this thiss thing made me want to translate the Pokedex from Both Ptu and PTa because lol Logic......... and i'm dying while doing it......
Came across this video trying to concoct a macro referencing a series of rollable tables and/or link to a handout of the various mishap spells for a Mizzium Device from Ravnica. What an unwieldy and fruitless endeavor...
isent work anymore?
It took him 6:59 / 14:26 to finally get to talking about HOW to do it... why do these people insist on consuming your time with bull... just say how to do it and then pad the video with some music or such...
I love your tutorials but geez you need to cut down on the waffling... just get to the point.
AMEN BROTHER! 7 minutes into a 14 minute video and we still haven't gotten to the main course!
