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

you can make a character without joining a game. I just started and have only my 1 character created so far

@Roll20App 2 жыл бұрын

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!
