At this weekend’s sixth annual Roll20Con, an exciting slew of announcements escaped the campaign and made their way into the real world. Among the bigger pieces of news, Roll20’s mobile companion app has fully launched and is now available to iOS and Android users. There are a variety of additional features highly requested by fans, including the launch of Roll20’s new mobile app, new games coming to the platform and more! Along with the mobile companion app, Roll20 also announced character creation in the Character Vault, a focus on taking the platform international, and improved page organization. Fans can catch recaps of the show on YouTube or Twitch.
As part of the celebration, fans also grabbed exclusive Roll20Con giveaways and rewards, with Roll20 additionally matching donations to Code2040 to help end racial discrimination in tech.
“The team at Roll20 works tirelessly to constantly deliver updates to a deep set of features that make playing easier and add elements that immerse players in the game,” said Ankit Lal, President of Roll20. “We’re extremely proud of our new Mobile App in particular. We believe it’s the foundation of a new player-focus that will ultimately make life easier for everyone at the table – with better, more informed players making life easier on all GMs. But, that’s not all we showed off at Roll20Con – whether it’s new games, upcoming product updates or the first-ever glimpses at exciting IPs coming to tabletop like the Power Rangers, Roll20Con is all about celebrating tabletop gaming!”
