Learn more about Roll20 and how to make the most of it for your adventure with your friends.
Roll20 is the most popular platform for playing tabletop roleplaying games online, with an expansive suite of helpful tools for players and game masters alike.
Find a Game
Roll20 is a website that roleplaying game players can use to host their games, allowing people from all over the world to play at the same virtual tabletop. With millions of users and over a thousand supported game systems, it is the largest platform of its kind. A free account on Roll20 provides users with everything they need to play RPGs online: customizable character sheets, tools to create or upload maps and tokens, voice and video tech, and of course, digital dice!
Roll20’s features are extremely robust, even with a free account. A gaming group can create a private virtual tabletop with storage space for digital assets for almost any RPG system they can think of; only one person needs to own the rules to share them with the table. Roll20 can simultaneously serve as their voice and video communication platform, allowing the group to see the game state and their friends’ faces at the same time.
It can organize character information and notes for both players and game masters with user-friendly character sheets and an organized journal of folders and handouts. A text chat feature lets players share information publicly or secretly to a specific person. You can toss digital dice (3D rolling animation optional) out in the open, hidden “behind the screen” or directly through your character sheet simply by clicking what you want to roll. Ambitious rollers can create their own shortcuts to automate common or complex rolls.
Roll20 can even set the mood with a built-in audio player with access to a full library of ambient music and evocative soundscapes!
And all of that is before you get to the features unlocked with a Roll20 subscription, including dynamic lighting for character line-of-sight, video effects and animations, and the ability to share purchased content with even more players and games!
