Roll20 x Demiplane Integration

As part of our work to make tabletop games easier to play and learn, all in one place, we’re so excited to implement new integration features connecting Demiplane and Roll20! In the current Public Beta phase of the integration, linking your Demiplane and Roll20 accounts will enable Cross-Platform Content Syncing, Shared Subscription Benefits, and Character Sheet Integration between Demiplane and the Roll20 VTT.

  • Connected Play, Realized: For the first time, your Demiplane characters aren’t locked in the Demiplane platform. These characters can now exist on Demiplane and Roll20 – all ready to roll! No exporting or rebuilding. Link your account and you’re in!
  • Breaking Down Barriers for More Adventures: We introduced the Cross-Platform Sync and Shared Subscription benefits because we believe players should be able to dive into the fun part without any hassle. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. No more jumping through hoops – just more gaming, everywhere, all at once!
  • Built for Every Table: Whether you prefer in-person games using Demiplane, virtual games on Roll20’s virtual tabletop, or a mix of both, this Integration has been designed to seamlessly fit into any existing game. We already have a campaign in the works, but if you want to try one of the new sheets, it's just a matter of connecting or creating a Demiplane or Roll20 account and linking your characters alongside existing character sheets.
  • A Strong Foundation for What’s Next: This Public Beta isn’t the end – it’s just the beginning. We're thrilled about the opportunity to bring characters to where you play. We’re excited about the potential of combining Demiplane’s ability to onboard new game systems, rapidly implement and support new game mechanics, Roll20's robust VTT experience, and launch new character sheet capabilities. The future is bright, and we can't wait to share it with you.

Cross-Platform Sync (Unlock Once, Get it Twice!)

Roll20 and Demiplane have teamed up to bring you a seamless tabletop experience across both platforms. Having to unlock a title twice on two different platforms can be frustrating, so we worked with our partners to provide this great opportunity to only have to unlock it once to get it twice!

Eligible Content for Cross-Platform Sync

We’re so happy to be able to coordinate with our publishing partners to enable Cross-Platform Sync for their titles! The publishers and game systems that are currently supported for this program are listed below.

  • All Marvel Multiverse RPG titles from Marvel
  • All Alien RPG titles from Free League
  • All Pathfinder 2e + Starfinder 2e titles from Paizo
  • Fallout Core Rulebook from Modiphius
  • All Cyberpunk RED titles from R. Talsorian Games
  • All Vampire: the Masquerade titles from White Wolf

FAQ for Cross-Platform Sync

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sync books I’ve previously purchased on Demiplane/Roll20?

Yes! Cross-Platform Sync is retroactive, so the eligible books you already own on either platform will sync across once you’ve connected your accounts and initiated a content sync.

I just bought a new book on Demiplane/Roll20 that’s eligible for Cross-Platform Sync, but I don’t see it on the other platform!

Sometimes the Cross-Platform sync may not update immediately after a new book purchase. You can always click your Demiplane profile picture and select Account Settings >> Sync Accounts >> Roll20 Account Linking to manually refresh your sync using the “Sync Content” button.

I own books from a game that’s not on the list of currently eligible content for Cross-Platform Sync. Will that game be added in the future?

We don’t have any additional information to share at this time regarding publishers and games systems not included on the list of eligible content above. We’re continuing to work with our amazing partners to determine what content could be included in our Cross-Platform Sync program, and we’ll make an announcement if a new game system or publisher is added to the list of participants!

I own some PDFs on DriveThruRPG, will I be able to sync those to Demiplane as well?

At this time, our Cross-Platform Sync is available exclusively for your Demiplane and Roll20 accounts. DriveThruRPG does have Cross-Platform Bundles for some partners, however, where if you own the PDF, you get a further discount on the Demiplane and Roll20 versions.

Will the Roll20 Account Linking affect Paizo Connect?

Nope! Paizo Connect will continue to function as normal, providing a deep discount on Demiplane books when you buy the PDF through Paizo, and a free PDF version when you buy the book on Demiplane.

Do I need to have a subscription to enjoy the benefits of linking my accounts?

Nope! There’s no subscription needed to sync your content or use your Demiplane characters in the Roll20 VTT.

I’m having trouble linking my Demiplane and Roll20 accounts, and I’m not sure what to do next!

Please reach out to our support team at https://help.roll20.net/hc/requests/new, and we’ll get that sorted out for you as soon as possible!

 

How to Connect your Roll20 and Demiplane Accounts

Using your login or account settings

Same Account Email

Sync from Account Settings

From Demiplane: If you have a Demiplane account and a Roll20 account, and you are using the same email address for both of them, you can link your accounts by selecting the “Continue with Roll20” option on the Demiplane login page.


 

From Demiplane: You can link your Roll20 account by clicking your Demiplane profile picture and selecting Account Settings >> Sync Accounts >> Roll20 Account Linking. The sidebar that opens will have a “Link Roll20 Account” button, which will allow you to link an existing Roll20 account, or create a new account if you don’t already have one. 


 

If you’re already logged into a Roll20 account, the button will automatically link to that Roll20 account with no need to log in again.


 

From Roll20: You can go to your Roll20 Account Settings page, and select the “Link Demiplane Account” option. This will allow you to link an existing Demiplane account if you already have one, or prompt you to create a new account if you don’t already have one. If you are already logged into a Demiplane account and click the “Link Existing Demiplane Account” button, it will automatically link to that Demiplane account with no need to log in again.

From Roll20 Virtual Tabletop

Option 1

You can link a Demiplane account to your Roll20 when you are creating a new game in Roll20 using one of the sheets labeled as "Supported via Demiplane." For our Public Beta, the supported sheet options are:

  • Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game (Demiplane)
  • Alien RPG (Multi-Sheet – Demiplane and/or Roll20)
  • Candela Obscura (Multi-Sheet – Demiplane and/or Roll20)
  • Cyberpunk RED (Multi-Sheet – Demiplane and/or Roll20)
  • Daggerheart (Demiplane) 
  • Fallout: The Roleplaying Game (Multi-Sheet – Demiplane and/or Roll20)
  • Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game (Multi-Sheet – Demiplane and/or Roll20)
  • Pathfinder 2e (Multi-Sheet – Demiplane and/or Roll20)
  • Vampire the Masquerade 5e (Multi-Sheet – Demiplane and/or Roll20)
  • Starfinder 2e (Demiplane)
  • DC20  (Demiplane) 

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 Demiplane characters within your Roll20 game.

Option 2

As a player in a Roll20 VTT game using one of the sheets labeled as "Supported via Demiplane", you will be able to link your Demiplane account if you haven’t already by navigating to the Journal tab, clicking the "+ Character" button and selecting "Link Demiplane Character." That will prompt you to either log in to an existing Demiplane account, or create a new one.
In a Roll20 VTT game that supports multi-sheet (both Demiplane and Roll20-native character sheet options), you can go to the Journal tab and click the down chevron next to the +Character button to get the option to link a Demiplane character into your game, which will again prompt you to log in to an existing Demiplane account, or create a new one.

Option 3

If you are in a Roll20 game using one of the sheets labeled as "Supported via Demiplane" and try to open a character which has been shared to you in the VTT but doesn’t yet have a Demiplane character linked to it, you will be prompted to either log into an existing Demiplane account or create a new one in order to link the character.

Addons

Addons are products in the Roll20 Marketplace which can be added to any of your existing Roll20 games. Addons can add whole adventures to your game complete with maps, tokens, and compendium content. Some Addons now utilize Demiplane content.

For example, one of the first Addons we released was Daggerheart. 

This Addon is to showcase the power of both platforms all inside the Roll20 VTT.

This new package highlights the strengths of both Platforms:

This free all-in-one package includes a new way to play for free:

  • A ready-to-play VTT Adventure with exclusive maps from Map Doctor (including Dynamic Lighting & Foreground Layers), handouts, adversaries, and characters
  • An Art Pack containing 50+ tokens, portraits, and landscapes

Other Addons for Pathfinder 2, Starfinder 2, and more great games are available from the Roll20 Marketplace!

FAQ for Integration Experience

Compendium or NPC Support?

Yes! Thanks to the Roll20 x Demiplane Integration, you now have the ability to use your Demiplane Sheets, Demiplane Compendium, and Demiplane NPC Sheets (formally Adversary Sheets) within Roll20 Characters + Roll20 VTT. Our compendium and NPC Sheets (previously called Adversary Sheets) support grows and the list can be found here! 

Once you’re in the Roll20 VTT Game for a game on the list and connect your Demiplane Account, you’ll be able to navigate to the Compendium tab to pull up the Demiplane Compendium. From here, you can search through it as you would if you were on the Demiplane interface.

Some Roll20 games support both Roll20 and Demiplane compendiums. These games will show a selection at the bottom of the VTT Compendium tab so you can choose which compendium to use.
 

 

We look forward to adding more games, therefore, more content for you in one place.

How do I use a Demiplane NPC Sheet in a Roll20 Game?

In your Roll20 Game, go to the Compendium panel and select a compendium group for Monsters/Creatures/Enemies. (Per above make sure you are using the Demiplane compendium for multi-sheet games that have both Roll20 and Demiplane compendiums). Any adversary whose content is unlocked under your account will show an “Add” button next to its compendium listing. Simply click the Add button to have that enemy’s token added to the middle of your current map in the VTT. The enemy is also added to your game’s journal and its NPC Sheet is connected to the new token. You can open the sheet and use it much like any other sheet in Roll20.


 

Can I use Demiplane character sheets in the Roll20 VTT for games I had created prior to the integration Beta release?

Yes! The GM needs to allow the ability to add Demiplane character sheets to your existing game. In the VTT settings, navigate to the Character Sheet Settings section, and “Add Sheet to Game.” Once enabled, players will be able to link Demiplane characters to the campaign via the Journals tab.

Can I set a default sheet for when I add a character to my campaign?

Yes, you can set the default via the “+ Character” button in your Journal and change it at any time in your game Settings.

Can I add my previously made characters on Roll20 to campaigns that support the use of Demiplace character sheets?

Yes, for any game that has multi-sheet support, you can bring any Roll20 character into the game as normal. In multi-sheet games you can use Roll20 native sheets or Demiplane sheets for any character or NPC in the game. Each player can choose their preference.


What happens if my Demiplane Character is stuck on loading?

Your Demiplane session may have expired. Please log into your Demiplane account on a separate tab, and try again!

Can I use Mod Scripts in games that include Demiplane character sheets?
It depends. In general, Demiplane character sheets are not yet fully integrated to use all mod scripts. Many mod scripts will indeed work for characters using either character sheet, but not all scripts will work completely as intended on Demiplane character sheets. A few specific items that you should know:

  • Mod scripts must utilize the "getSheetItem" and "setSheetItem "async functions instead of the "getAttrs" and "setAttrs" functions.
  • Some attributes may have different names or interactions between the sheets. You can see available attributes on Demiplane Sheets via the “Advanced Tools” tab in the character sheet.
  • If you wish to have a mod script work for all sheets but the sheets use different attribute names, you may call "getObj" and then run ".get(“charactersheetname”)" to determine which sheet is being accessed and load the correct attribute name based on that.

Can I make unlimited characters?

If you have an active Demiplane subscription or a Roll20 Plus, Pro, or Elite (with Demiplane Unlimited) subscription, you will be able to create unlimited characters that you can use with the Integration within Roll20. 

Free users are limited to seven Demiplane characters. For this reason, we recommend that players create and link their characters from their own Demiplane account when using this system.

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.

Can I connect Demiplane characters to multiple Roll20 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.

Can I tell which Roll20 games my characters are connected to?

Not at this time. However, we are keeping eyes peeled for feedback to prioritize this functionality.

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.

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 deleted from the Player's Demiplane account.

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.

Can I access or create games with Demiplane character sheets in the Roll20 VTT when using the Roll20 Discord Activity?

We do not currently support games that include Demiplane characters when accessing a campaign through the Roll20 Discord Activity.

A New Pathfinder Experience

This integration is beneficial to all players, but especially, right now, to Pathfinder Second Edition players. Pathfinder is one of the most popular systems on either platform. Because of this, we wanted to ensure that you have a seamless, elevated experience that gets out of the way and lets you (and your GM) focus on what makes your games epic. 

  • Character Tools: Demiplane offers the most comprehensive, accessible character creation experience, whether you play online or in-person. With cross-linked digital companions, tooltips, and an accessible search, the Pathfinder NEXUS gives you everything you need. Create your heroes from the ground up, with brilliant, beautiful, intuitive character tools. 
  • Most Up-to-Date: Demiplane’s patches and releases usually happen on the same day Paizo releases new content, or very soon after, meaning players can always access the newest mechanics, lore, and errata. There's no waiting for releases or information!
  • Expansive Library: The digital Pathfinder Second Edition library on Demiplane is second to none, and it includes not only rulebooks and sourcebooks, but also the latest adventure paths! 
  • Cross-Platform Sync: No more purchasing content at full price in multiple locations, and no more switching back and forth. Thanks to Cross-Platform Sync, you can unlock your content once and enjoy it on both Roll20 and Demiplane. It's an integrated experience designed to make your gaming life easier. 
  • Connected to Roll20 VTT: With the power of the Demiplane Character Tools for Pathfinder NEXUS and Starfinder NEXUS, plus Roll20's recent upgrades like Jumpgate and Foreground Layer, we are thrilled to have you experience this effortless adventure.

These updates and features are just the beginning. Our Demiplane and Roll20 development teams works tirelessly to bring you more all the time, including exciting GM Tools!
