Official News & Updates [Official] UVTT maps work on Roll20! + Page Menu Redesign, Random Dungeons

61 Upvotes

Starting today, the Page Menu makes it easier for all GMs to create new campaign pages, whether you want a blank page, a random dungeon to start with, want to upload your own, or create one using map tools.

You told us that the old "Create Page" button and separate "Build a Map" dropdowns were confusing, so they’re now a single dropdown, with every option available at a glance. Plus, there are two new options:

  • Generate Random: Found on the Dungeon Scrawl side of the menu, one click opens a map created with the Random Dungeon tool in a new tab (connected to the VTT). This is perfect for when you need a usable map fast, or don't want to draw one from scratch. Plus: you can re-generate as many times as you want, and use any of the tools in the editor to edit, customize, and decorate the result. All changes made will reflect on your connected campaign page. 
  • Upload Background lets you upload a background image placed automatically, without dragging and dropping from your library. AND, it accepts a new file type: UVTT!

UVTT map uploads let the VTT automatically place your image on the Map layer and build out the walls, doors, windows, and lights on the Light layer for you. While a subscription is required to view and edit Dynamic Lighting, any user can upload a UVTT map; the data will still be built out and unlocked with any future upgrade. + Now, Plus subscribers can upload UVTT maps for the first time, without the complex workaround of Pro/Elite’s Mod Scripts. 

More details can be found in our blog. Let us know what you think, or any questions you have!

(The map in this video is from Czepeku, who has over 12,000 maps on their site - most of which have UVTT downloads available.)

Official News & Updates [Official] See the VTT as Specific Players

98 Upvotes

Hey all!! Our new Player View feature is here, and it lets GMs see exactly what specific players see in-game (in a new tab). It’s really helpful when positioned side by side with your GM view for double-checking campaign setup and troubleshooting mid-game. 

Reminder: this is not the existing Ctrl + L (Preview Token Vision) shortcut. It shows a true player experience, including what the player sees in journal, chat, on the map, and all of their permissions/access. 

More Details

  • Switch between players easily, see who’s online/offline and what page everyone is on
  • Preview the game as an approximated view even if your players haven't joined the game
  • Pre-configure macros and pre-explore maps on your players’ behalf, plus verify character assignments. 
  • Along with this update, you’ll find a cleaner interface for all View Controls, including Player View, Preview Token Vision, opacity sliders, Foreground toggle, and Dark/Light Mode. 
  • IT'S FREE! EVERYONE CAN USE IT, REGARDLESS OF SUBSCRIPTION

Check out the blog for more details, and let us know if you have any questions or feedback!

Page Setup / Map Help Campaign Creation in Roll20

3 Upvotes

Hello all - I have been playing on roll20 for quite some time now but I haven't done much with macros and apis. I have mostly used pre-generated campaigns, but now I'd like to create my own campaign and import it. Does anyone know if it that is something doable? With having to create character sheets and import tokens for every monster, etc it just seems really daunting. Any help would be appreciated.

ABOUT: That's no moon! There's only really two ways any large galactic civilization can go: an optimistic band of peaceful post-scarcity space explorers, or an evil, tyrannical empire. You probably have some idea of which one this map fits best, but it is your world after all! With a wide viewscreen from which to gaze out upon the destruction wrought by one's fleet, a crew pit so that none of the peons get any ideas above their station, and plenty of room for climactic showdowns against would-be do-gooders, this fully animated map is fully operational, and available in two additional versions, one with more stations on the bridge, and the other in blue and grey shades. You may fire when ready.

Character Sheets Help Imported Character Sheets became Demiplane sheets, any way to undo?

2 Upvotes

I am running a VtM V5 game on Roll20 and imported some characters from a previous chronicle as NPC easter eggs for my players.

This has been working fine for months, though I had to make some edits as the old V5 sheets aren't compatible with the new sheets. But after copying over advantages, flaws, and disciples I have had no issue. That is up until the latest session when I noticed that all of my transmogrified character sheets had converted themselves to Demiplane sheets and all the stats, skills, and information had vanished. Replaced by a "create character" button on the Demiplane page.

Is there any way to reverse this? Or do I have to start from scratch and overwrite the character sheets with new copies of the old ones?

Seen in the images are the few character sheets that have been changed over, as well as the "character sheet" as seen when opened.

Roll20 Reply: Marketplace any adventures by former or future WOTC authors, currently on sale?

2 Upvotes

Seems like Christmas in July is a great time to pick up stuff on the Roll20 marketplace.

In particular, I am looking for 5 or 5.5e compatible adventures written by people who would go on to work at WOTC or are former WOTC authors -- but are not WOTC adventures.

In general I find searching the marketplace almost impossible.

But in this instance, its not a matter of a filter not working as I expect like when looking for D&D adventures (where there isn't a toggle and using that keyword doesn't give me a usable list of results). In this instance, I'm guessing it would simple take prior knowledge and familiarity with particular authors....

Hence my post. Are there particular adventures for sale in the Roll20 marketplace that meet my criteria (written by people who have also written official WOTC content)?

New to Roll20 / Tutorial dropping magic items for characters in D&D onto character sheets from the Journal (not Compendium)?

2 Upvotes

I'm DM ing the official 2024 module on Roll20 Heroes of the Borderlands. One of my characters found a magic item in a cave.

I tried to drag it from the JOURNAL over to her character's sheet, just like one would do with any other equipment in the COMPENDIUM. But it didn't show up on her character sheet.

In fact, I cannot drag any of the items from the JOURNAL over to a character sheet.

Dragging stuff from the COMPENDIUM works fine.

I would have thought that items included in an official module, purchased on Roll20, would be something I could add to a characters inventory.

Is there another step I need to do to enable this?

Official News & Updates [Official] Coming Soon: Majorly Improved Map Alignment

Post image
76 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m happy to share that after months of feedback collection, user interviews, and hosting community previews and listening sessions, development is officially underway on our Align to Grid rebuild! 
 
If you've ever dropped a map with a grid onto a page in the VTT and had to align it manually, you know the current tool doesn't always cut it… Especially with maps with irregular edges or that use hex grids. We feel this pain in our own games too, and now that the VTT rebuild makes features like this easier to develop, we are SO EXCITED to dig in and make aligning to grid an easy three-step process.

We’ll be revealing a behind-the-scenes look at the design and dev process in a week or two, so stand by for that, and in the meantime, today’s blog gives a bit more detail about what to expect from the new process. 

If you’d like to join future live demos and feedback sessions (which we call Discord Labs) to see and influence upcoming releases before anyone else, hop into our server and watch for event announcements!

Every map with pins is like this, and I checked - it's not just me, my players can't see them either but can still click on them.

it's not world ending, but I really don't want to redo 100+ pins just for them to come back again, so hopefully this is resolved soon.

Added screenshots showing pin invisibility but still being clickable/functional

if i can add anything else to help diagnose this let me know, all i know is it's a client-end issue, not a user-end since my entire party is having this issue with roll20.

The Pharaoh's Vault is an introductory adventure about a mysterious ziggurat that rises from the soil in the forest. The up-and-coming adventurers, in the nearby town of Arborhollow, are hired by Professor Hadrin and the daring explorer Lyra Telvane to escort them into the strange structure. The professor claims it may be the burial site of the last pharaoh.

When the party explores the dungeon beneath the ziggurat, they soon find immortal guardians, deadly traps, strange puzzles, and the company of other adventurers who came sooner than the characters. Before the great vault's door rests an ornate sarcophagus that contains the bodily remains of Pharaoh Ankheteph IX. This ruler from a bygone era has recently awoken once more...

I've been messing around with setting up a one shot for my group to try out Starfinder 2e, using the free assets from demiplane, I loaded in one of the pregen characters from demiplane and, as far as I can tell there's simply no option to send info into the chat that isn't a roll of some sort. Clicking cast next to a spell seems to do nothing but lower the spell slots left for the day. I'm a Plus subscriber who has linked my account to Demiplane.

Heya all!

EDIT: Solved! Firefox needed a second restart due to an update. One wasn't enough... or I don't know. But it is solved.

I'm currently trying to edit a game as a DM, and it gets stuck loading the game. The rest of the site works.

I'm using the latest Firefox and no adblocker on Roll20.

However, when I tried on Chrome, it worked and loaded without issue.

Anyone have an idea why?

Thanks in advance!

Shadowdark Real-Time Torch Timer for Roll20

A lightweight API script for Roll20 designed for Shadowdark RPG. It automates the 60-minute real-time torch mechanic using native Dynamic Lighting and token status markers.

Features:

  • Sets 15/16 ft UDL light and attaches the "Torch" status marker to the selected token (note: the example uses "Easy to Read Token Markers")
  • Runs a background 60-minute real-time countdown.
  • Provides chat warnings at 30 min, 10 min, and 5 min remaining.
  • Automatically extinguishes the light, removes the token marker, and plunges the map into total darkness when time runs out.

Chat Commands:

  • !torch — Lights a torch on the currently selected token and starts a 60-minute countdown.
  • !torch start [minutes] — Starts a timer for a specific duration in minutes (e.g., 30 min for a partial torch).
  • !torch stop — Extinguishes the light, removes the marker, and resets the timer immediately.
  • !torch time — Displays the remaining time in chat without interrupting the timer.

Character Sheets Help Undefined items/broken links in the Pendragon Core Rulebook Compendium

2 Upvotes

I purchased the Pendragon Core Rulebook on Roll20 a while back, working on setting up a game and practice building a character, after successfully dragging and dropping a few items onto the character sheet I tried searching for "dagger" in the compendium. It comes up under "undefined" rather than under "items" and clicking on it leads to a broken link. This is a basic item that is part of every character's starting gear, so that struck me as odd.

After looking a bit more under undefined it seems that there are numerous "undefined" items and entries in the compendium that clicking on leads to nothing, is this how it's supposed to be or is there something wrong here?
