Please report any issues to the Roll20 tech issues forum, so the developers can be made aware of them. Still in open beta with some stuff not implemented yet, but is under heavy development at this point with good dev interaction over on. (A nice compromise.) And just a fyi, there is a new kid in town that is showing great promise. Being critical of Roll20's software, asking for ways around problems, etc are all allowed, but do not suggest using a different VTT when someone is asking for help with a Roll20 issue.

This is a community for, a digital tool to expand your pen-and-paper roleplaying experience. Thus the Game Numbers will be a more accurate percentage since more people will play one game while listing multiple enjoyments.Wiki (No Maps/Art/Tokens) Dynamic Lighting Twitch Youtube Mobile App Note that “Player Numbers” are gathered from players that have filled out the “Enjoys Playing” and “Seeks Group For” sections in their profile – which I just filled out, oops! “Game Numbers” are pulled from the “My Games” section and should reflect active games.
More players and DMs is always a great thing! The best stat is that Roll20’s sample size has increased every quarter for the last six quarters. “Other Games” is yet another umbrella category for more obscure games that have even smaller individual player bases. The “Other Listed Games” category is actually the second largest, and includes dozens of game systems, including Savage Worlds, FATE, Cypher Games like Numenera, and older versions of D&D that aren’t 3.5E (3.5E is still more popular than 4E). It’ll be interesting to see if the new sci-fi setting picks up on Roll20. I am looking forward to Paizo’s Starfinder next month. Pathfinder isn’t as big a piece of the pie as I would have expected, but as an evolution of D&D 3.5, it is getting a bit on in years at this point. Shadowrun desperately needs a streamlined, user-friendly edition like D&D 5E. Admittedly the rules (Fifth Edition) are overly complex, and even worse when it comes to hacking and the Matrix. I really enjoyed our relatively brief time with that awesome cyberpunk world, and loved writing my own short stories. I’m disappointed to see Shadowrun so low. We’re taking advantage of one right now in our “ Storm King’s Thunder” campaign, and you can see my review of the Roll20 module “Curse of Strahd” (written and video). D&D is still the grand-daddy of tabletop RPGs and D&D 5E has been incredibly well received and nicely supported through regular campaign books and supplements.įurthermore Roll20 has begun releasing official modules to D&D 5E campaigns, letting DMs purchase a ready-to-play adventure that can last 100 hours. Unsurprisingly, Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition reigns supreme, representing 52% of all games and over 62% of players. They break down some interesting stats on who’s playing what on the website. I don't know when I actively stopped playing role-playing games. Tabletop gaming website released their quarterly report for Q2 2017. In this first post, I wanted to acknowledge the reason for this blog even existing, as well as document the journey to where I am now in terms of being back playing tabletop RPGs after 22+ years.
