The Roll20 Volo's Guide to Monsters Bundle Purchase

When you purchase Volo's Guide to Monsters through Roll20, you get a bundle that comes in two parts: It unlocks the Volo's Index of pages on the the 5th Edition SRD Compendium and you gain access to a module that includes the seven beast lair battle maps that have been pre-aligned and drawn with dynamic lighting.

The Volo's Compendium Edition

When you buy a copy of Volo's through Roll20, you don't get a PDF of the book. Instead, you unlock the entire contents of the book transferred directly into the 5th Edition SRD Compendium. Each monster, piece of lore, and new player race has been given their own dedicated Compendium entry.

The Volo's Entry Index


Utilizing the Compendium in your Campaign

One of the benefits of transferring Volo's into Compendium form is being able to use it directly in a Roll20 game. A GM is able to drag and drop a Volo's Guide entry from the 5th Edition Compendium directly into their game. For monsters, dragging its entry to the tabletop creates a statted token AND generates a new NPC character journal under your Journal tab that will be linked to it. This NPC sheet will be automatically set up with all that monster's attributes, traits and skills that you can roll from immediately.

= To access the Compendium within a game, be sure to add a 5th Edition character sheet to your game to activate the compendium (We recommend the Official Roll20 5th Edition Sheet). Once selected, the Compendium will have its own tab on the Sidebar (the icon looks like a lowercase letter "i" inside a circle.

You can access the Volo's beast lair maps by creating a new game and on the right side of the game creation screen is a portion called "Optional: Choose a Module". One of them available to you will be Volo's Guide to Monsters. Click on it and it will choose that as the selected campaign. Name the game and click the blue "I'm ready, Create Game!" button to create the new game. Once it loads up, you'll have access to the beast lairs available from Volo's Guide.
