Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Updates:
- We've added a new option for controlling how Foreground objects interact with Darkness, called “As Darkness” (more in this thread). This allows Foreground objects to be revealed by a token’s vision, and is great for situations where you want players to explore a building or area without seeing the entire layout up front. Additionally, the previous “Hidden by Darkness” Off/On toggle has been split and renamed in the right-click token menu and in Token Settings and will be offered as an option alongside As Darkness:
- Above Darkness: Foreground objects stay visible even in darkness (example: roofs that disappear when entered)
- Below Darkness: Foreground objects will be hidden by darkness (example: decorative elements like cobwebs, rafters, or overhanging vines)
- Fixed an issue where dragging and dropping monsters from the 2025 monster manual did not work on ultrawide monitors
May 20, 2025

- Fixed a bug where a Player couldn't move multi-selected tokens on pages which had dynamic lighting lines and "restrict movement = off"
- Fix issue preventing editing of input field in new right-click vision context menu Bright Light and Low Light sliders; also fix issue causing strange behavior when using arrow keys on input field in new context menu Bright Light and Low Light sliders
D&D 2024 Character Sheet & Builder Updates:

May 19, 2025
D&D 2024 Character Sheet & Builder Updates:
-
Added new roll actions - initiative, npc_initiative, init, and npc_init. All of these actions can be accessed via macros like %{selected|init}, and all four will roll initiative and add it to the tracker on any character.
-
Added new roll actions for all skills - acrobatics, npc_acrobatics, and the same for all other non-custom skills. All of these actions can be accessed via macros like %{selected|acrobatics}, and both actions will roll your relevant skill to the chat.

May 16, 2025
Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Updates:

May 14, 2025
Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Updates:
- Foreground Layer Enhancement: Added ability for GMs to designate if a grid line should show above a foreground layer object, and is available in square grids only for now (not yet available on hex or iso grids). This is a per-object setting accessible in right click menu of token while on Foreground Layer > Foreground object Options > "Show Grid." This aims to address user-reported feedback of
- spoiling surprise interactions as lack of grid revealed presence of an object, and
- foreground objects obfuscating large portions of the grid, and making it challenging to navigate maps
- Dynamic Lighting Enhancement: Added an easier/faster way for GMs to turn vision on for their players. You can now multiselect tokens and toggle vision on for them via the right click context menu. As a GM, when you're on a page which has Dynamic Lighting turned on, you will see a new option when you right click on the token > Token Vision Light, and have the ability to turn on "vision" and "light emission" for multiple tokens. Note: you can only increment/decrement distance values with arrow keys, that scale off of grid cell distance

- With multiple controlled tokens, a player’s view will centered at group of player tokens

- Inline rolls parsed by sendChat() from within the API no longer fail for leading spaces, for example [[ 1d6]].

Bug Fixes for Default API:
- Calling .get() on a handout’s notes or gmnotes or a character’s bio or gmnotes which is empty no longer returns the string "null".

New API Features for Default & Experimental API:
- getSheetItem() and setSheetItem() provide abstractions around getting and setting attributes or computeds on Legacy and Beacon Sheets. Documentation will be available next week.

Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Updates:
Introduced a New Dynamic Lighting tool in Left Toolbar, letting you focus on gameplay and vibes, not troubleshooting:
- Subscribers now have access to a fully revamped Dynamic Lighting tool accessible in Left Toolbar, which consolidates all relevant settings in one place.
- You’ll see real-time updates to your map as you adjust things, with updated tooltips providing additional clarity. This eliminates the need to navigate to and switch between tabs in page settings.
- Dynamic Lighting will also include Explorer Mode (formerly “Explorable Darkness”), enabling a map area to become and stay revealed to a player – in a neat sepia color – once their token has seen it. Explorer mode is still editable, but in a new context, so that users don’t get confused between explorer mode and hide/reveal! Learn more here.
- To help troubleshoot lighting issues quickly, we’ve added a diagnostics section to the footer of the Dynamic Lighting tool (helping callout tokens with vision, and light sources on the map)
- Added animated darkness effects, such as Dark Fog or Pale Mist to create a more immersive experience
Updated Hide / Reveal Mask tool to make GMing smoother and more intuitive:
- All users can enjoy a simpler and clearer interface for hiding and revealing areas of the map during game play with Hide / Reveal Mask tool. Previously called “Permanent Darkness” within Fog of War, this tool allows for quick hide-and-reveal actions to manage map visibility on the fly.
- We simplified the language and instructions to make things clear and more accessible, removing ambiguity around terms like “add” and “subtract.” We’re also retiring references to Fog of War, Permanent Darkness and Explorable Darkness to remove perceived overlap with Dynamic Lighting – just hide or reveal some stuff! Learn more here.

If you're looking to play only the new D&D 2024 content, you can now turn off the Free Basic Rules 2014 and your players won't be confused about which version of the content to choose from.

General Bug Fixes
- Spells should now be selectable in Roll20 Characters if you only have access to the SRD and you're in the 2014 D&D character sheet. This was broken by a few changes we made earlier in the week. Sorry about that.
- We've removed the weird "?expansion=0" stuff that was showing up on various sheets when it shouldn't be. This was also broken because of some changes we made easier in the week.
- You should now be able to drag and drop monster tokens in games with the 2014 D&D sheet as usual, and all the token settings should populate on the token. In games with the 2024 character sheet, drag and drop is still missing some information like AC and dynamic lighting. We're still working to make sure that operates correctly.
- Added a warning modal for Roll20 D&D 5E Games with when attempting to change Character Sheet Template in Game Settings: “You can now use both the Roll20 D&D 5E (2014) and the Roll20 D&D 5E (2024) sheets in the same game when using the Jumpgate Beta to pick your preferred sheet for different characters and NPCs! We recommend utilizing both sheets in the game option if you are looking to test out the new sheet design in an existing game. Learn more here. Updating the “Character Sheet Template” between the two sheets may break your game - if you want to proceed with this option, we suggest you create a copy of your existing game as backup.”

- Added the ability to roll death saving throws with advantage and or/disadvantage automatically when the sheet's roll setting is set to "automatic".

April 30, 2024
Roll20 Characters

April 29, 2024
Community Preview Second Edition Remaster Character sheet:
-
We’ve updated the Skills tab to allow for entry and management of custom skills and lore, including ability to change linked attributes and other information. With this release, the sheet is now able to handle the majority of core game mechanics. This means you can run a full game using our Community Preview Sheet on Roll20 Characters.
April 28, 2024
Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Beta
- Dashed line rendering should be working now in Jumpgate games, so you should be able to tell what barriers are transparent on the DL layer.
- Fixed some drawing bugs that were showing flickering and artifacts in certain shapes.
Updated various icons throughout the interface to be correct (e.g. in the right-click menu and elsewhere) - We rolled out a change to opt everyone in our new image delivery service -- this should result in faster image load times throughout the VTT.
April 25, 2024
Community Preview Second Edition Remaster Character sheet:
- The Feats section has been divided into four types: Ancestry, Class, General, and Skill Feats! Keeping your feats organized is easier than ever before. Your previously added Feats default to “General Feats” category, and you can adjust the Type in edit view to recategorize them.
- Additionally, Features have been separated from Feats and given their own management window with streamlined fields.
April 19, 2024
Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Beta
- Fixed a bug where if you were moving tokens with Preview as Player mode enabled, and you had Explorer Mode enabled, it could cause Dynamic Lighting to break.
- We've rename the "Send to Front" option to "Bring to Front" in the context menu to be more clear about what that does.
- We fixed a bug where sometimes when you loaded into a game that had custom token markers set, the token markers didn't appear until you added/removed a token marker on the token. So custom token markers should be fully working now with the exception of the numbers on the markers.
- Fixed a bug where if you did a Focus Ping (to have your players pan to a spot on the map), the Dynamic Lighting would lag behind and be weird for the players.
- Players should no longer see the outline/border of the map area (that was for GMs so they could tell where the visible boundaries were).
April 16, 2024
Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Beta
- There's now a Jumpgate Achievement Badge that you can earn by joining any Jumpgate game on Roll20. It should automatically show up in your profile if you join a Jumpgate game from today onward.

April 10, 2024
Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Beta
- Cleans up a bunch of old code that you all don't care about but makes our devs very, very happy
- Adds back in support for the "numbers" on the status markers.
- We fixed a bug that was causing a race condition where sometimes graphics would not load into the game and you would only see a white screen or the dynamic lighting layer. This is the same bug that folks were reporting with having the turn tracker open leading to issues with pages not loading properly.
- We now remember the zoom and page location you were on when you switch pages in the same session. So when you switch back, you should be at the same spot you and zoom level you were at before!
- For the GM, we now show the area that is hidden from players by showing that area of the map layer of the page as semi-transparent (similar to the effect we use for the GM Layer). This should make it easier to align the map to the edges of the page and also make it clearer to the GM what is or isn't visible to players.
April 8, 2024
Roll20 Characters
- When choosing a sheet to create a character with, you will now see the languages that a sheet has been translated into so that you can see if the sheet is right for you. Also, if the sheet is not already translated into your language, you can help to get the sheet translated by signing up to be a translator for that sheet. Create a character today and check it out!
Roll20 Character Sheets - Community Preview Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Sheet:
- Enhancement to the sheet's Spells Tab is finally here! You can now enter prepared, spontaneous, focus, and innate spell types and rituals and organize them by spell-casting method. Each type of Spell surfaces only relevant information, and allows you to automatically track Spell usage, cast Spells, and add attack and damage rolls. In addition, you can now click on rollable text to automatically execute a roll when you have any dice references within a description of a Spell. For example, you can now roll "6d12+5 fire damage" from text description of a Spell. Please give it a try and share your feedback so we can continue to improve this.
- Updated the expand/collapse design from a bar to a chevron in roll templates and across the sheet to make that functionality more discoverable based on user feedback and testing.
April 4, 2024
Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Beta
- We fixed a bug where radial menus and token actions were displaying for the wrong tokens. A lot of you have reported this, and apologies for how long it took us to figure out why this is happening since I know it was disruptive for your games. But hopefully this should be fixed now!
- When moving an object on the Map Layer, there will no longer be a "ghost image" left behind, to match the behavior on production and also make it easier to align things to the grid.
- Toggling Daylight Mode in the Fog of War UI will now correctly update it in Page Settings as well.
- Auras were broken when using non-integer radius settings (e.g. "0.63") -- this should be fixed now.
- We've improved our handling of pinch to zoom on touch devices (e.g. iPad) so you shouldn't accidentally move objects around while zooming.
April 2, 2024
Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Beta
- Custom token marker sets including Marketplace sets should be working now. Note that if you previously applied a custom token marker to a token, you may have to add/remove at least one to get them to show up.

- We pushed out some performance improvements to drawings that should make them more performant in general.

Mar 29, 2024
Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Beta
- Custom token marker sets (including Marketplace sets) should now be functioning properly.
- Jumpgate games should now respect the account-wide Pan/Zoom scroll default you have set -- this fixes the bug where after loading into a Jumpgate game you might have to toggle that setting to get it to "stick".
- The Explorable tab should no longer be indefinitely locked in the Fog of War UI
- The turn on and fill button should be working properly on new pages
- Fixed a bug where filling fog on Explorable mode was filling with Permanent Darkness
- Fixed a bug where the Fog of War menu was not updating when Fog was toggled from On->Off in Page Settings
- Using the Reveal All button should work immediately now without needing a refresh.
- Changing the tool while using the Fog of War polygon tool should no longer leave an artifact.

- Using @{selected} with rolls/macros should be working properly.
- Dragging and dropping items from the Compendium (such as Monsters) onto the tabletop is now working correctly.
- We've changed how texture filtering works, and things should look much smoother and less blocky overall, especially for lower resolution tokens.
- We've adjusted the threshold for allowing mouse movement when doing a long-press to do a Ping -- this should make it feel more consistent so it happens when you want it to and not on accident.
- Toggling on/off Dynamic Lighting and Explorer Mode should no longer require a reload to actually activate.
- Fixed a bug which could cause the position to desync during multiselect.
- Dragging and dropping when the Pan tool is active should no longer have weird behavior.
Mar 27, 2024
Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Beta
The Jumpgate Beta for Pro Users has arrived. If you haven't heard about Project Jumpgate yet, be sure to check out our announcement blog post.
If you’re a Pro User, you’ll have to choose to opt any new games you create into the Beta by using the “Opt into Jumpgate Beta” checkbox on the Create New Game page. You’ll be able to tell you’re in a Jumpgate game because the startup logo for the game will be the Jumpgate logo instead of the standard Roll20 logo.
Jumpgate features a completely new rendering engine, with faster performance for your games, and allows us to provide a smoother experience on a wider range of devices. In addition to that, you will find many new user experience tweaks and changes that should make using Roll20 even more delightful. Here’s a few of the highlights:
-
Zooming has been greatly improved!
- Zooming should be overall more performant and much smoother.
- Zooming will now zoom to the location of your cursor
- Radial menus will remain in the correct position while zooming
- You can hold down the Shift key while zooming to do precision zooming
-
Panning has been greatly improved!
- Panning should be overall more performant and much smoother.
- You can now freely pan around the entire area of the map, without being restricted by the bounds of the page.
- You can now place objects anywhere you’d like on the screen, including outside the bounds of the page itself.
- Any objects that you place outside the page boundary will be visible to only the GM.
- The right-click context menu has been reworked with a brand new design
- In addition, we’ve surfaced many menu actions that were previously only available to players via keyboard shortcuts
- You can now perform actions on groups of objects all at once with the right-click menu including locking their position.
- We’ll now automatically choose a default Frame Rate Limit for you based on the quality of your detected graphics card. You can override this setting and change it manually still under the Settings tab, in the Graphics section.
- For Mac users, the CPU usage when joining a video call inside the Roll20 VTT using our Integrated Voice and Video platform has been greatly reduced, so you should have a better game experience. (We also rolled this out to non-Jumpgate games as well!)
- The Page Folders feature is always enabled for all Jumpgate games.
- Token bars, nameplates, and markers now scale down when the token is smaller than 1 cell and remain legible even at small sizes
- Token bars now have a max width and their text has better legibility
- The Fog of War system has been completely overhauled, and the Dynamic Lighting system has been unified into a single backend system.
- There's a new UI for the Fog of War tool that should make it more clear what it is that you're able to do with adding and removing fog.
- The basic Fog of War system is now integrated into the overall Dynamic Lighting system. So basic Fog of War and Permanent Darkness for Dynamic Lighting are now the same functionality.
- The Legacy Dynamic Lighting system has been removed and is not available in Jumpgate games.
- In addition, Legacy Dynamic Lighting is no longer available for newly created games -- old games and modules remaining in the classic system can continue to use Legacy Dynamic Lighting until Jumpgate leaves Beta later this year.
- Pasting multiple times in a row will now spread out the objects you have pasted so you can easily see them and move them.
-
Undo has been greatly improved, and we’ve added Redo!
- The Ctrl+Y/Cmd+Y shortcut will now Redo if you Undo something and want to revert your Undo
- There’s now support for undoing and redoing a wider variety of actions; we’ll continue to add more throughout the Beta.
- Undo and Redo are now page specific – so if you change to a different page and press Undo, you won’t have something weird happen
- We’ve begun the process of improving support for tablets and other touch devices.
- The performance is majorly improved
- Panning and zooming now work well, long-press to bring up the context menu works better, etc.
- Multi-gestures are possible (i.e. start a marquee select, zoom or pan, keep selecting)
- We’ll continue to work on making this a better experience throughout the Jumpgate Beta, but this work is still in early development.
- The Ping system has been completely overhauled
- We now have a new system for pings in the backend
- The default ping has been improved when you click and hold on the tabletop
- More on this coming soon!
- Improved keyboard movement for hex and iso/dimetric grid types
- You can now Copy and Paste doors and windows
- When dragging to select multiple objects with the marquee tool, you will now see immediate feedback on what you’re selecting
- Token tooltips are more responsive to hovering and are easier to see
- Auras resize dynamically with token and isometric circle auras are more accurately sized
- Pressing X to show previous movement toggles into a mode where all previous moves will persist until deselected
- Snap to edge for all grid types works
- We also improved snapping when resizing, and you’ll now see that tokens will snap at half and quarter size inside of a grid cell.
- Measurement distances when using hex grids should now work properly
Mar 26, 2024
-
Roll20 Characters
- We released shared dice rolls on Roll20 Characters! This means that when you roll from your character (outside the VTT) and that character is in a game, everyone else can see the result. This will make it easier to play directly from the character in Roll20 Characters and still share in the anticipation of your critical success, or hilarious fumble. Have Fun!

Roll20 Tabletop
- The New Toolbar is now available for everyone! After a year of development and thousands of pieces of feedback from our users, we're pleased to roll out the first piece of our UI Redesign to all users -- the new toolbar.
- The Roll20 tutorial has been revamped to work with the new toolbar and has also had fun tooltip videos added to better explain each step.
- The "UI Redesign" flag has been renamed to the "Beta Features" flag. Users who are already opted-in will stay opted-in. Page Folders and the New Compendium Search are now behind this flag.
- For those opted into the Beta Features flag, thew New Compendium search will now be the default. There is still a separate toggle to opt out of this if you'd like.
- The Measure Tool settings box should disappear automatically when you are measuring if it is undocked.

Important Reminder: The New Toolbar will become the only toolbar in Roll20 on January 16th! You can preview the toolbar by opting in to the UI Redesign in the Settings tab in the VTT. In preparation for this we've made several improvements to the New Toolbar today:
- The New Toolbar has had several accessibility improvements made to it, and now should be more easily navigated when using a screen reader or keyboard shortcuts.
- The Measure Tool can now be docked into the toolbar, so that you can get it out of your way while you're measuring things!
- Fixed a bug where players were seeing the "Clear Drawings" button in the New Toolbar.
- When using the Compendium inside of the VTT, you should see much faster response times (up to 4x faster in some cases). This will apply to opening Compendium pages from the sidebar search and when using the Charactermancer to create your characters.
