Discord and Roll20 Team Up to Transform Tabletop Gaming

Starting July 29, all Discord users can seamlessly launch the complete Roll20 virtual tabletop directly within Discord as an Activity, making it easier than ever for gamers to dive into their adventures. Unlocking Roll20 within Discord dramatically expands worldwide access to popular tabletop roleplaying games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Cyberpunk RED, Call of Cthulhu, Alien, Marvel Multiverse RPG, and Dune for the over 200 million people using the platform regularly. Players can access both free and paid content without ever leaving the Discord app.

"Players and GMs already love using Discord for scheduling and socializing.” says Jayme Boucher, Senior Marketing Manager at Roll20. “Making it easier to jump straight into a game - with maps, tokens, character sheets, and all the Roll20 tools you know and love - means you can focus on the fun without the hassle of juggling multiple apps or managing invite links. By leveraging Discord's familiar and beloved tools, we're offering an easier, more streamlined way to connect and play."

This release follows a four-month beta period in which thousands of Roll20 subscribers tested the Roll20 Activity on Discord with real campaigns, providing feedback, bug-testing, and helping shape the feature based on their requests. The launch furthers Roll20’s mission of making every adventuring experience more accessible, engaging, and unforgettable. 

Roll20's Activity on Discord is designed with both existing and aspiring tabletop roleplayers in mind. It provides access to existing Roll20 users’ campaigns, as well as plenty of options for those looking to start fresh or try tabletop RPGs for the first time. Activity users can start new campaigns utilizing nine systems at launch: Dungeons & Dragons, Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game, Call of Cthulhu, Cyberpunk RED, Pathfinder Second Edition, 13th Age, Dune: Adventures in the Imperium, Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play, and Alien: The Roleplaying Game. Free starter adventures are available for seven of the nine systems, providing an easy, free way to explore new games. Each system allows the creation of blank campaigns and access to adventures pre-formatted for the virtual tabletop.
