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.

Contents

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
  • Script for stunning monsters/recovering monsters is complete


Needed:

  • Complete script to start the haunt (~2%)
  • Input the text of all haunts (~4%)
  • Create script to manage the room tiles
  • 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.

User:235259/Scripts index

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.
