   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

• Need help with emulating AC3

  Next, any legit iso/rom site will work. Personally, I use CoolROM, but if you find another site, go for it. You'll also need the PS1 BIOS. You can pretty easily find it with a simple google search. (Pretty sure CoolROM also has it on there). Source: about 1 year ago

• Earthbound black screen

  Is that coolrom.com.au? coolroms.com goes to a dead site for me? Can't see Earthbound on coolrom.com.au though either. Source: over 2 years ago

• Your way to pirate Roms

  Https://coolrom.com.au/ for this one I use a tampermoney script so that I can get a zip not a exe. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Jailbreaking, Piracy, & the Content Policy

  Don't talk about where to get specific software unless your mods are willing to curate a list of ESA-compliant websites (those that only list abandoned/public domain games, and will promptly remove a game from their list when asked by the publisher or rights holder). Example - CoolROM is ESA compliant, and as such, you're not going to see ANY Nintendo-based games (they've complied with Nintendo's requests), and... Source: about 3 years ago

• Looking for a DND/TTRPG group

• 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...
