I made the original Top 5 Roll20 Tips video so that I could share it in my D&D Discord server to save myself some breath each time a new player would join. Now 150,000 views and 3 years later I figured it was time to update the video.
00:00 Intro
00:46 Navigating the Map
01:14 Tokens
01:53 Managing Sheets
02:53 Macro Quick Bar
03:28 The Settings Tab
04:22 The Journal Tab
05:21 Outro

The real monster feature, something not suspected at the time, was Rollable Table Tokens. It is found in the Collections tab, normally the menu to set up card-decks, but it offers a way to randomly or deliberately choose a particular picture for your token. The obvious uses were: --show a 'mech (or a character) in various states of disrepair or beatup-edness, --turn a shape-shifter into their other form, --randomly roll dice which have non-numerical symbols (such as FFG Star Wars). But the monster application was that, hey, these Tokens can be stretched to any size. --You can make a shifting billboard, or present a slide-show to your players. --You can make a piece of terrain and put it in the Map Layer. Go to the Map Layer and change the terrain. You know that stone corridor the characters went through before? When they try to retreat the same way...it's lava now! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9unlMqEmtzHeXk.html

This is a great tip and a feature I use quite often! It’s never saved my life though :(

1:00 The player colour also controls the colour of dice that appear in the Chat column. The dice are outlined in the colour of the person who rolled them. Just a nice touch, since the character name is already shown.

On the matter of creating a route while moving your token, while moving your token, right-clicking will do the same thing pressing Q will, and you don't have to reach for your keyboard.

That is correct. This does not work on trackpads, however.

If you hit Shift Z when you have a token selected it makes the token larger for all players and shades the back screen so your players can get a better look at the tokens as well! :)

The drag+q for measuring is going to be amazing! I've only run one session, but it was hobbled by people continually switching to the rule tool.

Another nice little tip. Hold down Shift and double-click on your token or an NPC token and that will open that token's character sheet, provided that token has a character sheet tied to it.

How did you reformat your character sheets to look like that?
@CharlieQueenRPG
@CharlieQueenRPG 3 жыл бұрын
I really didn’t like the font and color of the stock Black Hack sheet, so I took the original code for the sheet, but entered it as a custom sheet and then tweaked the code to change some formatting and add some buttons to the sheet.

What's the table formatting, you mentioned under the handouts?
@CharlieQueenRPG
@CharlieQueenRPG 3 жыл бұрын
When you’re typing in the text field of a handout, there is an ‘add table’ option in the formatting bar at the top of the text field. The handout that is on screen when I mention it shows a table full of journal entry links that I made.

I’m pretty certain it’s from the official D&D “Tactical Maps Reincarnated”. It’s on the Roll20 marketplace for use with Roll20.
