Actually, Roll20 uses QuantomRoll, that “utilizes a ‘true random’ source of entropy, based on the fluctuations in the power of a beam of light.” So have no worries.
I’ve already talked about online RP, so today let’s focus a bit on Roll20 itself. It’s my platform of choice for any RP or storytelling game – check out our series of Let’s Plays, all played using Roll20 (More to come soon, btw). I think Roll20 managed to become a leading, if not the leading virtual tabletop today, so if you’re not already aware of it, you should, erm, awaken yourself to it. Yeah, that’s how you use English.
I like Roll20 for three main reasons:
- It works. Loads in 15 secs or so, and then, it just works.
- It’s free. If you use it a lot (like I do), you’ll run out of free space for the graphics you upload, so you might want to start paying a subscription – and you should anyway, if you’re using it a lot! Also, there’s a ton of great artwork for minis and tokens and such on the webstore, for reasonable prices. I bought loads, used all of it.
- They’re sympathetic fellows. Very open about their development process etc, (for example, in this NPC Cast episode) and do all sorts of interesting stuff with their audience, like the recent Roll20Con.
