And, even the free version by itself doesn’t have a lot of teeth without reference material and other content purchased through the platform’s marketplace.
The basic account is free, but there are also subscription tiers that come with more benefits. This article will mainly focus on the browser interface, but the app lets you manage character sheets, roll virtual dice, and other more basic operations that are mainly tangential to a game master’s content in the browser version. If you plan on being the game master, you can probably stick to the main browser interface, but as a player, the mobile app might be enough. Otherwise, a 'hybrid' model works best, incorporating Roll20 content and physical game tools. It is possible to play a game entirely on the Roll20 platform, provided that all players use Roll20. The platform supports resources for over twenty titles, including Dungeons & Dragons, FATE, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and Call of Cthulhu. Roll20 is an online platform and companion mobile app for tabletop game management.
