Pathfinder and Starfinder Community Content is Coming to Roll20

Posted on by Leave a comment
Pathfinder Infinite Starfinder Infinite Roll20

Roll20 and Paizo Inc. have announced they’ve reached an agreement to support Pathfinder Infinite community content officially on the Roll20 virtual tabletop.

Pathfinder Infinite launched in 2021, allowing fans of the Pathfinder and Starfinder roleplaying games to publish their own adventures and game supplements for other fans of the games.

With this new agreement regarding Pathfinder Infinite, community creators will be able to convert or create content for play on the Roll20 virtual tabletop. Starting in February, they will be able to sell that content directly on the Pathfinder Infinite site so that it unlocks for users on Roll20, providing additional value for both creators and fans on both platforms. Creators can begin preparing content on Roll20 now in anticipation of the February launch.

Earlier this year, Roll20 and OneBookShelf announced their new joint venture, and since October of this year, both companies have been operating as one. The Roll20 virtual tabletop provides a full suite of easy-to-use digital tools so players can build characters and run campaigns seamlessly through their web browser. Through its family of premiere online marketplaces, Roll20 has been selling digital and print-on-demand roleplaying games, war games, comic books, and fiction since 2001.

Roll20 has announced that Dungeon Masters Guild content can officially be created for the Roll20 virtual tabletop beginning in January of 2023.

Starting in February, creators will be able to sell Roll20 content they’ve created via the DMsGuild site. Modules, Art Packs, Token Marker Sets, content Packages, and Addons sold this way will unlock for users automatically on the Roll20 VTT when purchased on DMsGuild, allowing immediate online play without the additional set-up work. 

This development fulfills a promise from June of this year: Now thousands of talented DMsGuild creators will be able to make and sell their D&D content not only in digital PDF and print formats, but also built specifically for the world’s most popular VTT. The door has been opened for casual hobbyists and part-time enthusiasts to transition fully to career game creators.

Wardlings Roll20

Renegade Game Studios has announced a new partnership with Roll20, beginning with today’s release of the Wardlings Campaign Guide for the Roll20 platform.

With a new Adventure Module featuring new custom maps, a charactermancer-compatible Compendium expansion, and a player token and handout pack, Roll20 now has everything a group needs to start playing Wardlings online.

Wardlings is a 5th Edition-compatible campaign setting, based on WizKids’ pre-painted miniatures line, where the youth are the only ones capable of perceiving and interacting with the magic of the world. It provides a great entry point in to roleplaying for ages 10 and up.

Roll20 is an online service that makes it easy to play your favorite roleplaying games remotely. It provides a shared virtual tabletop, a variety of communication tools, and access to a marketplace filled with content for your favorite system.

This is just the start of a new collaboration between Renegade Games and Roll20. In the coming months, there are plans to bring additional Renegade RPG lines to the platform.

​The ALIEN RPG Spawns on Virtual Tabletop Platforms. Game NOT Over Man!

Alien The Roleplaying Game

“I can’t lie to you about your chances, but … you have my sympathies.”

Space is vast, dark, and not your friend. Now you and your crew can explore the ALIEN universe through virtual tabletop gaming. The award-winning official ALIEN RPG was launched today on two VTT platforms: Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds.

At Roll20, you can find a virtual tabletop version of the ALIEN RPG Starter Set, including all the rules you need to play and the full-length cinematic scenario Chariot of the Gods, written by scifi author Andrew E.C. Gaska. On the platform, you can also find the scenario Destroyer of Worlds, a sequel to Chariot of the Gods also written by Gaska and requiring only the Starter Set to play.

On Fantasy Grounds, you can find the ALIEN RPG core rulebook, a full conversion of the hardcover book of a massive 392 pages, as well as the Chariot of the Gods and Destroyer of Worlds scenarios. 

All modules are fully integrated with the VTT platforms, with online maps and diagrams, player handouts ready to share, online character sheets, customized virtual dice roller, and more.

The core rulebook for the official ALIEN roleplaying game was released in December 2019 in partnership with 20th Century Studios. The game immediately sold out its first print run and swiftly entered the Top-5 list of best-selling tabletop RPGs in the fall of 2019. It won the ENNIE Award for Best Game 2020 and the People’s Choice Award for Best RPG at the UK Game Expo. The game is currently being translated into seven languages.
