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"

May 19, 2025

D&D 2024 Character Sheet & Builder 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

Fixed a bug where the spell selection list would sometimes not scroll all the way to the bottom of your list if you had access to a large amount of spells.
Multi-class characters can now select the spells for each of their classes without needing to reopen the character sheet window between spell selections
Feats/Features that grant a small selection of spells will now show you the correct lists (e.g. "you gain the Light or Guidance cantrip" will no longer let you pick from "Light" or "Dancing Lights" in addition to "Guidance")

Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Updates:

Quality-of-Life

Incorporated an update to center map on player tokens when first loading into a map - a top 15 Suggestions and Ideas Forum item. Players will notice the following updates when loading into a map:
- With 1 controlled token, a player’s view will center at the player token
- With multiple controlled tokens, a player’s view will centered at group of player tokens
- Page zoom will vary for players initial load into page based on token and map size to ensure token(s) are visible and have a buffer of about 10 cells visible around them to maintain location context.
- “Center View” button or Home Key will now take players to their controlled token; holding Shift while pressing “Center View” button or Home Key will also adjust the zoom to fit the token.
  And for a bit more context, players continue to have the option to “Zoom to Fit” in the top right Zoom bar. GMs will experience no changes in their view experience: “Center View” will continue to center their view on the map, and reset zoom to 100% when used with Shift Key.

Demiplane & Roll20 Integration Alpha is live! Demiplane and Roll20 are starting to work hand in hand to bring you Everything for your Adventures. While the alpha phase focuses on bringing the Starfinder 2e Character Sheet and Builder from Demiplane into the VTT, additional games are on the way. Find more information about the integration here. Features added as part of the alpha release:

Login with Roll20 - a simple button click to create a Demiplane account when you have a Roll20 Account
Account Linking - We can identify users across platforms
Subscription Syncing - If you have a plus or pro subscription on Roll20 and you've linked your account, you get free Demiplane Sub Benefits like Unlimited Characters and Content Sharing with 24 friends (or enemies)
Cross-Platform Sync - When you have a connected account, equivalent titles from participating publishers are granted on both platforms when purchased (or if previously purchased) on the other platform.
Starfinder 2e Character Sheets in the VTT - Link your Starfinder Nexus Player Characters to characters in the VTT. You can roll into chat, roll initiative to the tracker, and use attributes to create custom macros.

Roll20 API related Bugs Fixes and Features:

Bug Fixes for Default & Experimental API:

Calling .set() on a handout’s notes or gmnotes or a character’s bio or gmnotes from within a .get() for same no longer causes the API to crash.
User changes to handout’s notes or gmnotes or a character’s bio or gmnotes get property cached on the API side preventing a revert by future API writes.
Inline rolls parsed by sendChat() from within the API no longer fail for leading triple brackets, for example [[[a] 1d6]].
Inline rolls parsed by sendChat() from within the API no longer fail for leading spaces, for example [[ 1d6]].
Sending multiline API commands no longer drops some of them at random, for example Walls API script input.
Nested Inline Rolls are properly processed to prevent mis-substitution of results.

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".
Setting a status marker on multiple tokens reusing the same object no longer replaces all existing status, for example: let opt = {status_blue: true}; tokens.forEach(t=>t.set(opt));

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: Enhanced the usability and performance of character sheets written with Beacon SDK advanced sheet infrastructure (including Dungeons & Dragons 2024, Candela Obscura, Coyote & Crow, and Marvel Multiverse RPG character sheets).

Improved Interactions with Tabletop:

Beacon Sheets in Jumpgate collapses better into more reactive states, is much more mobile friendly, and more usable at smaller screen sizes
Sheet will temporarily disappear when interacting with the Tabletop to give more workable space, and appears when your on-tabletop action is complete
Resizing the sheet feels more performant/less jumpy in the Tabletop
The sheet can be dragged all the way to the edges of the screen
Sheet re-maximizes when double-clicked in the journal or shift-clicked on a token
Sheets can be dragged around the play space on touch devices for the first time ever
Sheet frame supports animated avatars for the first time ever
X-out button is back on minimized Beacon sheet (parity with Legacy sheets)

minimizing the sheet on Tabletop would erase the name from minimized frame
the sheet failed to resize when dragging cursor over the sheet iframe area on certain browsers
it was not possible to scroll to the bottom of the attribute and macro list
opening too many sheets would eventually lead to sheets with a z-index above other important VTT modals and dialogs

You can now link and update your Temp HP via the token bars.

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.

For example, you can easily switch from the 2024 Fireball spell to the 2014 Fireball spell and back again.

The attributes list now scrolls for the entire modal length instead of getting cut off.

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.”

D&D 2024 Character Sheet & Builder Updates:

Fixed a bug where NPC ability scores and saving throws weren't rolling while the sheet was in compact mode.
When dragging and dropping items onto the sheet, it will now be automatically equipped and attuned (if applicable, and if there is an open attunement slot). If you do not have any attunement slots, then you will see a warning that it requires attunement.
Sending a spell or attack that includes a DC to chat now includes a label for when the save is succeeded / failed to make it clearer
Added the ability to roll death saving throws with advantage and or/disadvantage automatically when the sheet's roll setting is set to "automatic". If there exists a situational advantage (which aren't present in "automatic" rolls), it will be present in the "Roll Settings" modal that opens when the sheet's roll setting is set to "query".
Fixed a bug where DC was appearing on Spell attacks when it shouldn't be
Fixed a bug where roll bonuses weren't applying correctly to attacks
Fixed a bug where NPC Damage options were not appearing when trying to add a new attack to an NPC sheet

Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Beta: Team released big code refactor with an aim to address some common crash/freeze causes and desynchronization behavior in the Tabletop in addition to several user reported bug fixes and usability improvements.

April 30, 2024

Roll20 Characters

We fixed a bug where duplicate entries in lists on sheets would start appearing as you created list entries or moved them around. Now, your lists of equipment or spells or anything else that uses a list component will work as expected.

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.

Fixed a bug which could sometimes throw an error about rebuilding the initiative list.
Fixed a bug where bold/italic text could sometimes get split into multiple lines of text.
Fixed a bug where you couldn't select a filled shape immediately after creating it.

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.
"Is Drawing" objects should no longer snap to the grid when resizing/rotating them.
We pushed out some performance improvements to drawings that should make them more performant in general.
Mod Scripts that rely on the selected token information to function should now be working properly.
The @{target} macros/rolls should now be working properly.
Initiative rolling (i.e. pressing the "roll initiative button" on a character sheet) should now be properly adding the token to the turn order.

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

Changing the tool while using the Fog of War polygon tool should no longer leave an artifact.
Using the Resize to Fit function should no longer cause images to appear in an incorrect front-to back order.
Using the Zoom to Fit function should no longer throw an error.

Mar 28, 2024

Roll20 Tabletop Jumpgate Beta

The torch and default character icons should be working again.
You should be able to turn on Dynamic Lighting without needing to reload the page.
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.
