Roll20, which purchased the Demiplane rules compendium platform in June 2024, has launched a public beta for its new integration between the two.
Launched in 2019, Demiplane acts much like D&D Beyond, but serves multiple game systems rather than just D&D. D&D Beyonf co-creator Adamn Bradford joined the team in 2021 after D&D Beyond was sold to WotC for approximately $160M. You can build characters in Demiplane for 14 games including Pathfinder 2E, Vampire the Masquerade, Marvel Multiverse Roleplaying, Alien, and other big name TTRPG systems, although at present the cross-platform integration is live for 6 of them.
Roll20 is the most popular Virtual Tabletop (VTT), and one of the oldest. In recent years, it has purchased or integrated platforms such as DriveThruRPG–the world’s largest online store for tabletop gaming, Dungeon Scrawl, and Demiplane in its goal to become a one-stop tabletop, marketplace, and game tools suite.
When we first set out to connect Demiplane and Roll20, the vision was clear: Make it easier than ever for players and GMs to bring their characters to life, wherever they play. Today’s Public Beta launch is a big step toward delivering on that vision.
Here’s what today’s launch means to you:
- Connected Play, Realized: For the first time, your Demiplane characters aren’t locked in the Demiplane platform. These characters are now able to exist both on Demiplane and Roll20 – all ready to roll! No exporting or rebuilding. Just link your account and you’re in!
- Fewer Barriers Means More Adventures: We built the Cross-Platform Sync and Shared Subscription benefits because we believe players shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get to the fun part. These two benefits have been live since February and we’ve seen a resoundingly positive response to these programs.
- Built for Every Table: Whether you’re running your live games using Demiplane, virtual games on Roll20’s virtual tabletop, or some mixture of the two, today’s release has been built to fit naturally into any existing game. Already have a campaign in the works but want to try one of the new sheets? Connect or create a Demiplane account and link your characters alongside existing character sheets.
A Strong Foundation for What’s Next: This Public Beta isn’t the finish line – it’s our launchpad for bringing characters to where you play. We’re excited at the opportunity to combine Demiplane’s ability to onboard new game systems, rapidly implement and support new game mechanics, and launch new character sheet capabilities in the palm of your hands.
