It is now possible to connect your Demiplane and Roll20 accounts to play with and use your characters directly within Roll20.
During this Alpha phase we are focused heavily on making sure the connection is stable and functioning properly. We are looking for feedback regarding the linking process, character creation/selection, as well as general in-VTT gameplay and functionality.
During this public Alpha phase, we are focusing on the Starfinder 2e Playtest with more sheets to follow in the future.
How it works
By connecting your Demiplane and Roll20 accounts you will be able to view and manage your Demiplane characters directly from Roll20. These characters will be connected to the game and allow you to make rolls, checks, etc. just as you could with native Roll20 sheets.
Looking forward we are continuing to implement functionality to support Macros and API/Mod scripts. Our next phase will introduce further integration allowing for both Roll20 and Demiplane sheets to exist within the same game while also allowing for the introduction of Nexus/Compendium support.
How to create a Demiplane connected character
1. Create a game using one of the sheets labeled as "Supported via Demiplane." For this Alpha stage you will need to select the "Starfinder 2e (Supported via Demiplane)" sheet to your game.
Once selected, you will have the opportunity as the Game Creator to connect your Demiplane and Roll20 accounts so you will be able to view your available characters within the game.
Players will need to connect their Demiplane and Roll20 accounts from within game (described below).
2. Once in the game, you can navigate to the journal and click the "+ Character" button and select "Link Demiplane Character."
3. If you are a player in the game or you have not connected your Demiplane and Roll20 accounts before, you will see a pop up that will prompt to you log in to your Demiplane account in order to sync.
If you do not have a Demiplane account, you will be able to also create one by following the provided instructions!
4. Once your Demiplane account is connected, when you next click the "Link Demiplane Character" button, you will be provided with a character sheet that will prompt you to build a character.
Clicking this button will open a new tab/window where you will follow the builder to create the character you'll use.
5. After your character is created, you should now see that you can select it from the Roll20 Character sheet in order to connect them.
6. Once you've selected a character, you are all set! You should see your character sheet now being rendered within Roll20. This will also automatically update the name and token art of the character in question to match Demiplane.
The sheet will function exactly as it does within Demiplane with all the same functionality and options!
FAQ
Q. Can I make unlimited characters?
If you have an active Demiplane subscription you will be able to create unlimited characters that you can use with the Integration within Roll20. Free users, however, are still limited to seven Demiplane characters.
For this reason, we highly recommend that players create and link their characters from their own Demiplane account when using this system.
Q. Can I share characters I create with other players to use?
If you connect a Demiplane Character Sheet to Roll20, you can set up edit permissions through the VTT so anyone in the game can access and make changes to that sheet.
However, this does not transfer ownership of the Demiplane Character Sheet and it will still be considered "owned" by the original creator's Demiplane account.
If you are utilizing a character shared with you on Roll20, you will not be able to see or access it from the Demiplane site unless the character's owner on Demiplane also grants you edit permission to that character on Demiplane.
Q. Will there be compendium/nexus support?
In the future we plan to have Nexus and Compendiums available within the Roll20 VTT while using Demiplane sheets.
Q. Are Starfinder 2E NPC sheets available?
During this alpha phase, no; but, we are actively pursuing NPC support for the future.
Q. Can I connect characters to multiple games?
Yep! You can connect a character to any number of games. However, keep in mind that these characters will all be linked. So a change made in one game will be propagated across ALL games. It is also possible to connect the same character multiple times to the same game.
For this reason, we recommend copying your character if you would like to avoid this synchronization.
Q. Can I tell what games my characters are connected to?
Not at this time. However, we are keeping eyes peeled for feedback to prioritize this functionality.
Q. How do I remove a character from a game as a Player?
As a player, you can only remove a character from a game by deleting the character on the Demiplane side. This will remove all instances of that character from all games it is present in.
For this reason, we highly recommend copying your character prior to deletion if you would like to save it but only disconnect it from a game. A copied character will not be linked to any game initially.
Q. How do I remove a character from a game as a GM?
As the GM, you can remove a character from a Roll20 game by right clicking the entry in your journal and selecting the option to remove/delete the character from the game. This will sever the connection and remove the character from the Roll20 side.
The Character will not be fully deleted from the Player's Demiplane account.
Q. What happens to my character if I leave a game?
If you leave a game for any reason, the character will be automatically removed from the game. Your version of the character sheet within Demiplane will remain and can be used and connected to other games.
