Spectating

Hey Everyone, I am new to the tabletop rpg genre and would like to actually watch some games as a spectator. I have had a look through the documents to see how to do this but cannot find any information on it. Is this actually possible? I have watched a ton of episodes on youtube a lot of the Chris Perkins games but it is sometimes hard to pick up exactly what they are rolling for so I think watching on roll20 would be a great way to do it, if you could actually view the character sheets of the people your are watching.

Ask a GM if you can observe. Join a game and don't make a character, just watch.

Good idea, thanks Brian, will have a look around for some DnD 5e games to join

Don't forget that you can also find Roll20 games on Youtube and Twitch.

Thanks Razir, I think I have just about been through everything on youtube, I will jump over to twitch and have a look

Hi Steven, Our very own mods (Kristen C. I believe did these) made a two short series of videos designed for new members of roll20. If you haven't seen them yet, take a look. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll20_Crash_Course" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll20_Crash_Course</a> is the wiki page that has the information for how to start using roll20 <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Introduction_To_Tabletop_R" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Introduction_To_Tabletop_R</a>... is the wiki page for someone that is totally new to tabletop playing on roll20. Have fun and good luck.

Great thanks Pat, these look great, I will sit down and go through these tomorrow.
