Understanding Physical and Digital RPG Versions on Roll20: What’s Included?
When you purchase physical RPG books from a publisher or a store, these editions are tangible items you can hold, flip through, and display on your shelf. However, these purchases do not include digital versions such as Virtual Tabletop (VTT) components or PDFs on Roll20, which offer enhanced digital functionalities like interactive maps, searchable text, and integrated tools for online play.
Purchasing Digital Versions:
To access digital content on Roll20, such as dynamic character sheets, maps, and automated functionalities that enhance gameplay, you will need to purchase the digital versions separately. These are available through our Roll20 Marketplace or for certain game lines, also on DriveThruRPG, which offers not just VTT modules but also other formats like PDFs.
Free Basic Rule Sets:
While the specific digital versions of purchased physical books are not included, Roll20 does provide free basic rule sets for most major game systems. This allows players to start using digital tools without an initial investment.
Using Digital Characters with Physical Books:
Customers can create digital characters using Roll20 Characters and integrate these characters into sessions using physical books. Additionally, for character management and usage, you might explore Demiplane, which supports a seamless digital RPG experience.
