And featuring Richard Zayas, an entrepreneur who helps us stay in business. He is resolved to helping his friends achieve their dreams; his are still up in the air. He currently resides in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Ali, and their fat cat, Zelda. You can reach him on Twitter at @richardzayas.

Critical Rollers

Steve Koontz, our first additional helper in the land of programming and development. Steve has a passion for RPGs and has been using Roll20 for many years -- in fact he was in our first 10,000 users! Steve endeavors to assist users and improve the program on a daily basis, and his input and ideas have lead to many of the wonderful features you use during your games.

Stephanie Powell, our community manager. Stephanie is likely one of the first people you'll see jumping in to answer an email or respond to a tweet. She helps keep our community engaged and informed about all things Roll20-related, in addition to corralling our Marketplace creators. When not working on Roll20, you can probably find her contributing to Misscliks, a gaming group dedicated to uplifting geeks and gamers. You find her on Twitter at @missAvacyn.

Adam Koebel, resident Games Master - Adam can be found all over our Twitch and YouTube accounts, creating fantastic role-playing sessions for your enjoyment. Outside of Roll20, Adam is the co-creator of Dungeon World, a popular Twitch/YouTuber - he GMs RollPlay's Swan Song and Mirrorshades, and has a ton of content on his YouTube and Twitch channels as well.

Suzanne Wallace, Roll20's Brand Manager joins us from the dark arts of marketing and publicity. Managing all things PR and Branding, you'll find Suzanne chatting with the media, managing our Marketplace, and kickin' it with licensing. When she is not working all things Roll20, she enjoys playing video games, wrestling corgis, and baking cookies in the shape of fantasy creatures.

Phil Behrenberg, the second addition to the Developer Team - Phil comes to Roll20 from Northrop Grumman, a US Defense Contractor - where he also worked as a web developer. When Phil isn’t playing video games or DMing his now year and a half long Roll20 campaign, he is most likely snowboarding - taking every chance he can get to head to the mountains.

Kristin Carlson, the newest member of the team, Kristin is Roll20's Quality Assurance Manager who is out to catch all the bugs that can be found on our platform. Long before she was hired on, Kristin became a Roll20 forum moderator shortly after launch in 2012. She is also the creator of our 3D dice models, authored several of our video tutorials, and was responsible for many of our official 3rd party module conversions. She is a voracious video game enthusiast and sporadic artist who has an unhealthy dedication to technical documentation.

Roll20 uses the excellent "Art's Polyhedral Dice Font" from Skullduggery Press to display dice icons throughout the app. You can read more about this font at their site.

Open Source & Third-Party Software

Roll20 couldn't exist without standing on the shoulders of giants. The following open-source and third-party projects have helped make it a reality.

• Firebase -- the service that helps us keep everyone in sync in real-time
• FabricJS -- a fantastic Canvas-based vector imaging library
• ThreeJS -- a Javascript/WebGL 3D Engine
• Physijs -- Javascript-based physics engine for ThreeJS
• OpenTok -- lets us bring you video and voice chat
• jQuery -- needs no introduction, a seminal piece of Javascript
• BackboneJS -- keeps us organized when everything is flying around in a giant mess
• Padrino -- powers the administration section of the site
• NodeJS -- the amazing concurrent server that lets us keep the info flowing
• Twitter Bootstrap -- gives us the style we need to look somewhat legitimate

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, but we wanted to especially recognize these projects that make us tick. Open source powers the web, and we thank all of the programmers who take time out of their busy schedule to make the world a better place.
