Roll20 has an awkward, buggy interface that's a nightmare to use beyond the most basic level, but if you just use it for that most basic level it's easily the best solution there is right now. Having used roll20 for both D&D and Shadowrun, I would strongly recommend using chummer for sheets and just using roll20 for shared dice rolls and the ability to have a shared visual map for tracking roughly how things are laid out (I tried using the maps for tactical movement and combat for D&D, and that was a slow nightmare that required an order of magnitude more prep work and led to issues with players carefully measuring out exact feet in planning their moves I opted for a vaguer conceptual space for shadowrun and that kept things flowing much better, just having a vague map with the biggest features shown and basic labels for what was in sections while being more detailed in my narration - like "your team's cover blown, you race into the hall to deal with the security guards, who are about ten meters down the hall and facing into the room where was poking around" and going from there, assuming there are miscellaneous office-hallway objects around to sort-of take cover behind, etc). For those "living community" hubs I imagine it's incredibly useful, you can leave your character sheet in roll20 and have your tokens on the map even when you're not playing. I'm not a huge fan of roll20's UI for those and prefer more traditional tabletop stuff (which carries its own different plethora of problems), but I think it's just that I don't have the patience to learn it. Yeah chummer's a pain in the ass, but that's just because shadowrun character generation's a pain - there's no way around it unfortunately.Īs for the handouts and maps and stuff, eh. It can technically replace chummer, but making your character on chummer and exporting it to roll20 is a lot easier.

Telling a new player how to do a difficulty 3 composure check at a -2 using a dicebot or physical bones can take a bit of time, but telling them to click the "composure check" button, add a -2 modifier, then have the sheet do the rest of the work saves a lot of time.
It might be worth using roll20 for that alone. "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon."Īdvanced edition kicks ass, it's so easy to roll on it.
