DM's Guide to Roll20 - Part 1 - Getting Set Up

[@brahmcorstanje4816]

John & Craig - Thanks for making this extremely helpful series of videos. Due to the banishment of face-to-face play, I subscribed to Roll20 and purchased a module and a handful of token assets, and watched some of Roll20’s tutorials. I then I found myself in UI hell, and my party and I abandoned Roll20 after 5 sessions. We are now trying out AstralTableTop...more intuitive interface, but missing some major features, and no pre-made D&D adventures available. However, after watching your very informative videos, I’m going to give Roll20 another try. Thank-you for taking your time to record and post these (and editing them into 30 min, digestible chunks). I’m a fan of your excellent Scriptnotes podcast (though not a scriptwriter, and have no intention of being one), grateful you are D&D nerdz, and that you mentioned these videos in your “One Cool Thing” segment. You guys rock...and both of you deserve unlimited Inspiration!

I feel like I am very late to the game but I have been DMing since '84 and now want to venture into the online gaming world. Thanks for making these great videos. So helpful and so well done.

[@remyz]

This is an incredibly helpful video series. I'm sure I'll end up watching it multiple times and keep referring back to it. Thank you so much.

[@MiaRBeauty]

Thank you so much for creating this series of videos. I'm having such a hard time with Roll20 from a DM perspective despite having no problems with it as a player, what a nightmare it is from a UI/UX perspective.

[@fractaljack210]

Thanks a lot. I'm going to host a game on Roll20, after running games since 1979.

[@davidmartin6672]

Thanks for making this. I've been a pro subscriber and a Roll20 DM since this spring but I feel I'm just good enough and knowledgeable enough to run a basic game but I don't feel "proficient" in Roll20. In other words, running games still feels clunky to me and I feel like I'm missing out on utilizing some features to make the games run smoother. Looking forward to seeing where your tutorial takes me.

[@bryanchase5025]

I LOVE YOUR PORTRAITS BEHIND YOU! Respect.

[@sarahdanon7336]

I like that I had more hrs on mine already! first time DMing though, so this is helpful thx!

[@Alamodem]

Why post that token marker sets are at 6:33 when you click on that time stamp and you say. Then there are tokens, we will talk about that later.

[@cjsmiling]

Thank you for making this! Super helpful.

[@Cyberfender1]

Is it practical, usable, to take screen shots( for campaign/module) to run a game? I own a file of this and I have hard copy.

[@GeneBrodeJr]

So helpful, thanks for sharing it!

[@AbeDillon]

Where did you get those portraits? I want them!

[@timurkucherenko2138]

Omg, quarantine started 4 years ago...

[@jesusotero880]

Is UDL still buggy?

[@CAJim2]

I have this question as well.

[@mikemoran7393]

Why is the showrunner of The Last of Us tutoring me in Roll20

[@anthonyflores2423]

If I'm pro sub, can my free sub friends get my pro sub game? like be able to use the dynamic lighting?

[@Khakhanable]

Fairly new to Roll20, myself, but yes. Pro subs have Shared Table Features "Unlock your subscriber features for all players in the games you create."

[@Ally33218]

Is this... the same craig that is a writer for TLOU TV show?

[@miguelsuarez-solis5027]

lol I've had to many GMs who play against us to trust whisper rolls lol

[@Sujad]

The picture of the oppressed woman to your right, the viewer's left is super distracting.

[@Winterheart786]

If YOU want to make her dress a certain way, regardless of HER choices, then you are the oppressor and an ignoramus

[@Sujad]

@@Winterheart786 Hey look, I left Islam decades ago. I agree, forcing women in specific clothing because some men can't control themselves *is* moronic. I agree, Islam is an oppressive religion and I'm so glad I left it. It's a shame western feminists make life so much harder for those in Islamic countries.

[@AbeDillon]

That's a picture of US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. It's next to a picture of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. She definitely wears the hijab by choice. Your ignorance is showing.

[@Sujad]

@@AbeDillon Oh, the woman who married her brother? The one who got booed by her constitutions when she got up on a stage at a concert. I can never remember the members of the Shortbus Squad. Ignorance? Can you imagine someone who (I'm assuming here but from your message it's clearly you're a male feminist) who'd probably purport to support female rights supporting a religion that relegates women to second class citizens who are worth half of the value of a man.

[@TheGlutn]

The portraits behind you are visual feces. I am sure your games are run well, however I cannot take you seriously. The channel does not look to be gaming focused. Instead it looks to be politically focused. Turn off.
