Roll20 Integrates with Discord in Beta Test

Get ready for an unparalleled role-playing experience as Roll20, the premier virtual table top, announces its ground-breaking integration with Discord. Starting April 30th, Roll20 Pro subscribers are invited to participate in an exclusive beta test, launching a full-featured virtual table top directly within the Discord interface. This innovative collaboration aims to streamline your gaming sessions by merging Roll20's comprehensive tools with Discord's robust communication capabilities.

This new integration allows users to launch and manage games without ever leaving Discord. Imagine conducting your entire gaming session with maps, tokens, character sheets, and all the beloved Roll20 tools at your fingertips, while still using Discord's superior voice and video chat features. It’s the ultimate convenience—no more toggling between apps or navigating multiple windows. Everything you need for a full-fledged RPG session is now integrated into one seamless interface.

Roll20 is offering this first look to its Pro subscribers, who will also enjoy a promotional rate to encourage new users to join in on this innovative venture. For the next week, you can secure your first year of Roll20 Pro Annual for just $79.99, or try the first month for $7.99, which reflects a 27% discount. As part of the celebration, all Pro subscribers will gain access to a private Discord server specifically set up for this beta test.

The integration not only simplifies game management but also ensures that all the familiar and essential features of Roll20 are preserved. Users will have access to the full virtual tabletop complete with dynamic lighting for Pro and Plus subscribers, integrated character sheets, 3D dice, compendiums, and official modules from top RPG franchises including D&D, Pathfinder, and more. The best part? All your current campaigns, assets, and marketplace content are fully synchronized between Roll20 and Discord, making your transition as smooth as possible.

The beta will be available on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux through the Discord desktop client or web application. Unfortunately, mobile devices are not supported at this time. Pro subscribers can initiate the Roll20 Activity by joining or creating a voice call in Discord and then launching the activity with just a click. All players in the voice call will be prompted to log into their Roll20 accounts, ensuring that everyone is ready to dive into the game together.

As we push the boundaries of virtual tabletop gaming, your feedback during this beta phase is crucial. Roll20 is eager to refine and enhance this integration based on your experiences and suggestions. This is not just a test; it’s an opportunity to shape the future of online RPG gaming.

Looking ahead, this integration is set to be available to all Roll20 users later this year, with plans to incorporate Roll20's upcoming overhaul, Project Jumpgate, into the Discord Activity. This means that the future of Roll20 on both the web and within Discord will be powered by Jumpgate, promising even more enhancements and a smoother gaming experience.

Prepare to transform your gaming sessions with the innovative Roll20 and Discord integration. Whether you're dungeon crawling with friends or embarking on epic quests, the new Roll20 Activity on Discord is set to make your virtual adventures more accessible and engaging than ever before.
