Details

Each campaign you create in Roll20 has its own dedicated details page. To get to it, click on the “View Details” link under a campaign in your list. This is where the campaign creator can send invites to players, add the campaign to the Looking For Group System, promote or kick players from the game and other campaign management functions. As a player, you can use the Details Page to load the campaign and leave input in the private campaign discussion forum.


Campaign Icon: You can upload an image from your desktop to display as the Campaign’s Icon. This image will visible on campaign list and Looking For Group (if enabled). This uploaded image will be added to your Art Library.


Campaign Name: You can change the name of your campaign at any time. Click on it to bring up an editable text box. Hit the Save button to accept the name change.


Playing: This is a field where you you list what RPG system or board game you’re running.

Campaign Description: This is where you could add a blurb advertising what you expect out of the game or flavor text to give your players an idea of what to expect. Or you can include pre-requisites for potential players. This text field is really for anything the GM feels would be convenient for the players to know.


Player List: This is a list of Player avatar icons who have been invited to the campaign. Any GM has the label “GM” listed under their avatar. If you mouse over an avatar icon, you’re given the ability to either Kick the player from the game or Promote the player to GM status.


Recent Campaign Discussion: This is a mini forum exclusive to the campaign. It behaves exactly like the public Roll20 forums. The campaign creator has access to the Sink, Sticky, and Delete commands. The Sink command will keep a thread at the bottom of the forum regardless of activity. The Sticky Command will pin the thread to the top of the forum. The Delete command will remove the thread from the forum.
