Brian Shields have been using Roll20 since August, 2013, and is the Sheet Author of several character sheets, and well as API scripts. He no longer actively updates them.
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 Pro-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 Pro-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
- Dresden Files RPG
- Dungeons & Dragons 3.5
- Dungeons & Dragons 4e
- Exalted
- Exalted 2e
- Fiasco
- Iron Kingdoms
- Legacy Crossing
- Mage: the Ascension
- Mage: the Awakening
- Mage: the Socerer's Crusade
- Mutants and Masterminds
- Nobilis
- Outbreak Undead
- Paranoia
- Unknown Armies
- Unknown Ponies: Failure is Awesome
- Vampire: the Masquerade
- Werewolf: the Apocalypse
- Wraith: the Oblivion
I have also participated in three LARPs: Vampire: the Masquerade, an oWoD crossover (Vampire, Werewolf, and Changeling), and Exalted 2e.
Roll20 Creations
Created the original Beginner's Guide to GitHub-article.
API Scripts
Have created several "meta"-APIs that are to this day utilized in creation of other APIs.
- splitArgs
- EASO
- Collision Detection
- Flight
- Flip Tokens
Character Sheets
Have created the following character sheets:
- Arkham Horror
- DFRPG
- Exalted 2e (with Benjamin Bandelow)
- Exalted 3e (version 2)
- Unknown Armies
- Unknown Ponies
- Yogsquest
Games using the Storyteller system (World of Darkness, etc.) are also heavily influenced by my work on the Exalted 2e sheet, which was runner-up in the Character Sheet contest held at feature launch of the community character sheets system. I have also assisted in solving problems encountered by other users in making various sheets, and I designed the Quintessence Wheel for the Mage: the Ascension sheet.
Git Notes
These are simply some notes to myself on the git command line. The following are much more advanced processes than for example what I wrote about in Beginner's Guide to GitHub. These notes are intended for myself and no explanation is given to accompany them. Utilize at your own risk.
Delete a Commit
Back up to Head - N or a specific commit:
git reset --hard HEAD~1 git reset --hard sha1
Force the push
git push origin HEAD --force
Sync a Fork
git fetch upstream git merge upstream/master git push origin
Force Overwrite of Fork
Overwrites everything in the local copy with the original (upstream, the official repo), then uses that to overwrite the fork (origin).
git fetch upstream git reset --hard upstream/master git push origin HEAD --force
Requests
I am not currently taking requests of any kind.
