By moving around a torch token that signifies their light source, and has been assigned a light radius, Roll20 depicts only what they would see from their current perspective and with the current light source. Roll20 includes fog-of-war and dynamic lighting so I only reveal to the players what they see when the character sees it. This allows me to use the professionally drawn maps, rather than my chicken-scratch dry-erase renderings. The maps are projected so that the map is composed of real world 1-inch squares and I primarily use regular 28mm miniatures placed on the map. Roll20 is an industry leading web and tablet based virtual-tabletop application allowing geographically disperse tabletop gamers to play together. The software is so feature-rich that I actually use it for my face-to-face tabletop gaming to display maps and other digital assets that I project-top down on our gaming table. Both the ‘Monster Manual’ entry and stat blocks are available in ‘Roll20.’ Image from ‘Roll20.’

Start buffing the party, because the monsters will be released to the public February 7, 2017! ‘D&D’s’ iconic beholder token has been added to the map surface. The stats and monster information will be available to the DM right from the token on the map. The compendium will also allow the DM to drop fully-statted tokens right into their Roll20 game.

The release includes a compendium where users will be able to view Monster Manual entries comprised of the beautiful artwork, the monster lore, as well as their stats. Roll20 has just become even more awesome by putting the D&D 5e Monster Manual’smultitude of dangerous beasts on the Roll20 Marketplace.
