DMing can often be a job of spinning many plates at onceand cutting down on the amount of programs you have running can help your games to run much more smoothly.
Roll20 makes so much of the TTRPG experience simple and straightforward. DMs have the tools to build maps and structure incredible encounters, and players have all the resources they need without scrambling and searching for a sheet or ruling at a critical campaign moment.
Keeping your character sheets, rulebooks, dice-rolling, and battle maps all in one place is invaluable in recreating the tabletop experience, and now Discord is the best place to be for that.
TTRPG playershave been greatly enthused with the news, with one fan on Twitter/X stating: “This is the greatest update in Discord history.”
In further praise for the Roll20 collaboration, another account said: “This is honestly the best activity Discord has added so far.”
