In another win for digital DMs and long-distance roleplayers, the team behind VTT Roll20 have just announced plans to introduce Roll20 as a Discord Activity. The integration will allow players of D&D and other TTRPGs to check out everything from live maps to compendiums right within their Discord voice or video calls.Playing thebest tabletop RPGsis fun, but let’s face it – it can also be hard work. Once you’ve gone through the process of creating characters, familiarizing yourself with the setting, and finally managing to corral your party, you really don’t need the extra hassle of jumping between different apps and windows during your session.You know people can be busy – heck, that might be why you’re running your TTRPG sessions digitally in the first place – so having all your virtual tabletop needs right there within your call makes things quicker and more seamless.
