   When it works, its mediocre

   As a DM for homebrew games, I used Roll20 for 2+ years. When it works, its OK. When it doesn't, its frustrating. I use a lot of custom rules and they are simply not supported due to a lack of modularity within the system. A simple variant of Proficiency Dice in 5e is outlined in the rules, and even it is hacky and not well supported on Roll20.

   The format feels like it was made two decades ago, and the web console spits out warnings and errors left and right. There has even been some conspiracies / drama with some of the higher-ups at Roll20, showing a lack of leadership.

   Please, let's let Roll20 die. Support another system.

   👍 Pros:    Can purchase modules like curse of strahd and tomb of annihilation|Free for dms and players|Use with a variaty of systems|Many features

   👎 Cons:    Not modular enough for me|Hacky programming|Ugly|Features feel clunky and slow|Some features do not work well at all|Buggy

• [ROR] All New Custom Campaigns and a Classic Surprise!

  You can find them at the official website (ageofempires.com) or opening the game, going to the mod manager (the gear icon in the top right), and searching the titles. If you look for Filthydelphia you should find them, as well as my many campaigns for normal Age of Empires II! Source: about 1 year ago

• Question about new Chieftains effect

  Based on the April update release notes on ageofempires.com: "Chieftains effect now also provides infantry with gold generation while attacking villagers, trade units, and monks.". Source: about 1 year ago

• What would you think of this idea regarding the leaderboard ?

  While I understand the idea and intentions it isn't practical. Our leaderboard is a 1:1 reflection of the actual game leaderboard (which funnily enough can't be browsed inside the game) that you can also see on ageofempires.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• i won the 25th anniversary giveaway

  Hey there, I'm the social media manager for the Age of Empires series, sorry to hear that you haven't been able to get in touch with anyone! The official Age forums (on ageofempires.com) and Discord are the fastest ways to get into contact with people on the community team. Source: over 1 year ago

• i thought i played with the real viper but it was someone spoofing his account and cheating :(

  This happened to me last week. The devs are aware but not sure if that means it's close to being fixed... Needless to say report it on ageofempires.com if you see it. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Friend screwed 3/4 of the table out of 1/2 the game.

• Looking for a DND/TTRPG group

  I've used roll20.net up until now. They have a find group feature and a virtual table top with character sheets and dice roller included, so everything you need to play virtually is all on the one site. Source: 7 months ago

• I’m here to giveaway $1,500 in RPG goodies to celebrate 1 Year of Roll20 x DriveThruRPG! [Mod Approved]

• Looking for advice on running DnD game on stream!

  There are plenty of D&D software programs out there that are free and paid versions. Many of them with the ability to have friends join and interact with the table. As basic as Tabletop Simulator to Fantasy Grounds (both on steam that I have experience with, not an endorsement). roll20.net being a popular browser based version. Source: 8 months ago

• I'm looking for someone to teach me how to Play DnD

  I have made a character on roll20.net that maybe border line iffy/OP, so I may have to make one that's not. My free time can be a bit unusual at times(it's 12:24AM as I write this)so someone who has similar free times as I do(if your interested let me know and we can talk times), basicly I've been listening to a DnD podcast and I think it sounds fun and I want to try it out Edit: I'm in PST timezone in...
