Roll20 Introduces Discord Integration, Will Support Dungeons & Dragons, Dune, Cyberpunk RED, and More – IGN

Roll20, maker of virtual tabletop roleplaying tools, has released a new integration with Discord that aims to make remote game nights more convenient.

Starting today, all Discord users can launch the Roll20 virtual tabletop software directly within Discord as an "Activity," gaining access to all the usual roleplaying tools their platform provides, including interactive maps, character sheets, simulated dice rolling, drag-and-drop rulebooks, and more.

Roll20 currently supports most of the heavy-hitters in the tabletop space, including Dungeons & Dragons from Wizards of the Coast, the Dune TTRPG from Mophidius Entertainment, Cyberpunk RED from R.Talsorian Games, and my personal favorite: ALIEN The Roleplaying Game from Free League Publishing. Now available alongside Discord's voice and video features (not to mention its gamer-centric userbase), Roll20 hopes to make it easier than ever for roleplaying enthusiasts to organize game nights.

This integration marks a pivotal moment for the hobby, offering an unprecedented level of convenience to players and GMs," Roll20 told IGN. "By leveraging Discord's intuitive communication features and enabling their vast user base access to adventure at the click of a button, we're opening the door for even more players to discover and enjoy tabletop RPGs."

Roll20 has been testing this integration in beta for the past four months and making adjustments based on player feedback. Games created within Discord will also feature Roll20's new platform experience, which was its first major update since 2012.

Both Roll20 and its new Discord integration will also support the D&D 2024 revised 5E editions as well, which IGN has been following closely, including a reveal of the upcoming Monster Manual cover.
