D&D enthusiasts can now enjoy a convenient option for online gameplay with the integration of Roll20 into Discord. This allows for a seamless RPG experience all within a single platform.
During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Roll20 gained popularity as RPG players worldwide had to adapt and find ways to continue their campaigns. This resulted in many players switching to digital play or even trying out remote RPG for the first time.
With the latest updates, Roll20 and Discord have made playing D&D online even more convenient. It is now possible to launch the Roll20 software directly from Discord as an Activity.

Effective communication is crucial when playing D&D remotely, and using Discord for direct play can greatly assist in ensuring seamless prioritization of communication.
Managing a game can often involve juggling multiple tasks and reducing the number of programs you have open can improve the smoothness of your games.
The TTRPG experience is greatly simplified and streamlined thanks to Roll20. With its built-in map building tools, DMs can easily create impressive encounters, while players have all the necessary resources readily available without the need to frantically search for character sheets or rules during crucial moments in the campaign.
Storing all of your character sheets, rulebooks, dice-rolling, and battle maps in one location is essential for recreating the tabletop experience, and Discord is now the ideal platform for doing so.
TTRPG enthusiasts have been extremely excited about the announcement, with a fan on Twitter/X declaring, “This is the best update in the history of Discord.”
Another account also commended the Roll20 collaboration, stating, “This is by far the greatest addition Discord has made thus far.”
Roll20 also offers support for other popular tabletop role-playing games in addition to Dungeons and Dragons. The app fully supports other well-known games in the TTRPG community.
If you enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 and are looking to explore more tales of cybernetics and anarchy, Cyberpunk RED is the perfect choice.
Discord’s integration with Roll20 will provide access to D&D’s updated 5e ruleset and the latest Roll20 platform update, set to launch in 2024. This will ensure that players have access to the most current version of the TTRPG experience.
