For instance, video and voice chat are standard. Roll20 is a surprisingly modern solution with plenty of bells and whistles. There will be a fee for licensed D&D content. With the addition of these pre-made, officially licensed D&D modules it’s hard to think of a better solution for getting people together and playing traditional RPGs online.Īccess to the system is free, with memberships for enhanced features starting at $4.99 a month. It’s grown so much from its launch a few years ago, both in terms of features and stability. We spent some time reacquainting ourselves with the Roll20 platform over the last few days. "We are excited to see what the future brings."
"We’re always looking to broaden access to Dungeons & Dragons, and Roll20 already plays a significant part of that expansion," said Greg Tito, communications manager at Wizards of the Coast. Roll20 says that other licensed content will follow, including the latest D&D adventure module Storm King’s Thunder in September. For $19.99 it will include all of the content needed to run the game, including pre-generated character sheets, maps and player tokens. The first D&D module available on Roll20 will be Lost Mine of Phandelver, the same module that launched the fifth edition of D&D with the most recent Starter Set. "You spend more time playing, and less time swearing at firewalls."
"This is the simplest way to bring an online group together," the website reads. Game masters just send out a web link, and one click later players are looking at a map and ready to roll for initiative. The secret is the ease with which people can join a game. Originally funded through Kickstarter, Roll20 has experienced incredible growth over the past few years and recently ticked over 1.6 million users.
