I have been using Roll20 since August, 2013. I started when I was trying to find an online battle grid for a D&D 4e campaign when we had multiple people joining via a conference call, and simply describing the layout of the battlefield was far too inefficient. One of the players, Eric V., recalled the Kickstarter for Roll20, and recommended that I look it up. My group has greatly enjoyed the features it grants, and I've gone as far as purchasing a Mentor-level subscription.

Background
I have approximately 10 years of experience with computer science, attending Rice University for computer science for four years. Since purchasing my Mentor-level membership, I've been putting that knowledge to use when I can with the Roll20 API.
My first tabletop roleplaying game was Vampire: the Masquerade in 2004, and I have since played:
- Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
- Black Crusade
- Changeling: the Dreaming
- Dark Ages: Mage
- Dark Ages: Vampire
- Dark Heresy
- Deathwatch
- Demon: the Fallen
- The Dreaming
- Dungeons & Dragons 3.5
- Dungeons & Dragons 4e
- Exalted
- Exalted 2e
- Iron Kingdoms
- Legacy Crossing
- Mage: the Ascension
- Mage: the Awakening
- Mage: the Socerer's Crusade
- Mutants and Masterminds
- Outbreak Undead
- Paranoia
- Unknown Armies
- Vampire: the Masquerade
- Werewolf: the Apocalypse
- Wraith: the Oblivion
- (Untitled alpha test for a game with mage characters)
I have also participated in three LARPs: Vampire: the Masquerade, an oWoD crossover (Vampire, Werewolf, and Changeling), and Exalted 2e.
Campaigns
I am currently running a game of Unknown Ponies: Failure is Awesome. I may be starting an Exalted Second Edition campaign soon, as well.
Projects
I'm currently working to port the board game Betrayal at House on the Hill to Roll20.
Status:
- All images uploaded
- Script for choosing characters is complete
- Script for taking damage/healing characters is complete
- Script for starting the haunt is laid out
Needed:
- Complete script to start the haunt
- Input the text of all haunts
- Create script to manage the room tiles
- Create script for stunning monsters/recovering monsters
- A means to search decks (incl. room stack) and peek at the top of decks; this may require implementing the omens/items/events in some way other than Roll20's deck mechanic.
Scripts
I have created several scripts, either from scratch or built off of others' work. The following is a list of my scripts.
Requests
I'll gladly write scripts on request, to the best of my ability and during my free time. Leave a comment on my talk page, and I'll see what I can do. Not all ideas are possible, as the API isn't perfect.
