Jumpgate Beta

Welcome to the Jumpgate Beta - Roll20's New Tabletop Experience! Jumpgate is our modern overhaul of the Roll20 Tabletop. It feature a brand-new rendering engine as well as a whole host of updates and changes to make your gaming sessions even better.

As of August 1, 2024, the Beta is available to all Roll20 users!

Note that this is a Beta and as such there are bugs! Our High-Priority Fixes page summarizes what we are actively working to resolve. 

When can I start using the Jumpgate Beta?

As of August 1, 2024, the Beta is available to all Roll20 users!

How do I use Jumpgate during the Beta?

You'll see a new option when creating a new game, or a copy of an existing game, to opt that game into the Jumpgate Beta. You can also convert your game into Jumpgate from within the Personalization & Display section of your in-game settings. Note that this is a one-way trip – once a game is opted into Jumpgate, it can’t be opted out.

Since this is a beta, and there will be bugs and issues, we’re only allowing brand-new games and copies of existing games to opt in, just to make sure that no one moves their game into Jumpgate by accident. When you "Convert to Jumgpate" from within the VTT, a legacy backup copy will be created  and accessible on your "My Games" page. The backup copy create at the time of conversion won't reflect future changes made in Jumgpate game. 

Once a game is in the Jumpgate beta, you can play in that game with all of your players (including players without a subscription).  

What should I expect from the Beta?

You should expect to be able to play your ongoing games in Jumpgate with all of your existing content! There will be a few bugs to be sure, and a few features will be missing (such as our revamped F/X tool) that will be added while the Beta is ongoing. But if you’re comfortable using pre-release software and helping us make it better, we’d love for you to game in Jumpgate and give us your feedback so we can make sure that we find and stomp out all the bugs and make the full launch as smooth as possible.

What are all the improvements Jumpgate offers?

There are so many, and we’re not stopping! Jumpgate Quality of Life Improvements page documents a list of new features, functionalities and quality of life improvements that the improved Tabletop experience offers.

How can I report bugs during the Beta?

The absolute best way to report bugs is through our official Help Desk form, that’s also linked in the VTT toolbar settings and on the right hand bar.

As we are in Beta, we are actively working on High-Priority Fixes. Please know this list is not exhaustive, and users are encouraged to report bugs even if they relate to items on this list to help us prioritize the most impactful fixes.
