Roll20Con is here! Explore the brand new D&D Character Sheet and Builder,  send us questions for our Saturday Roundtable,  try the new Roll20 Discord activity and join our official server,  donate to Doctors Without Borders with our new charity bundles , save 25% in our Start the Adventure Sale,  as well as our DMsGuild and DriveThruRPG Setting Sales,  or scribble your way to victory with our  Scrawltember map-making contest! Check out  our virtual tabletop's new look and feel,  and celebrate what we've known all along:  there's never been a better time to love TTRPGs. Happy Roll20Con!
You broke our games and now you want applause? Really?
With the exception of DM Andy's amazing maps, sadly nothing else is of any interest in any of the bundles or sale, but that is just me.  I don't buy maps as just too many free ones out there.  Lastly like others have said and feel, I just feel the con should have either been prior to dnd 2024 since the crap show it has become, or 2-3 weeks later once people settled somewhat and more of the 2024 was fixed. Saying that, I know there are other games besides dnd, but I feel that is the core of what is played on roll20 and most talked about. Kudos to whoever wins the map contest though.
We really appreciate you sharing your feedback and experiences with the D&D 2024 release this week! It's vital to improving our platform and making Roll20 live up to our community's expectations. The spirit of Roll20Con is a celebration of play across all systems, as well as an opportunity to give back to charity, and we've got really exciting plans and announcements coming this weekend - I hope that you join us for the Roundtable Q&A session Saturday 3pm, ET! As for the sales, the original post has been updated to include the DMsGuild and DriveThruRPG setting sales - we have tons of systems like Cyberpunk RED, Savage Pathfinder, Scion, and even D&D, all on sale for up to 25% off!

@TK J Did I totally miss the previous announcements for Roll20Con ? There isn't any mention on the Roll20 discord announcements and it looks like today was the first roll20 email I received that mentions it.

Yikes. This announcement came way too late and downplayed. Critically, there appears to be no gaming component noticeable to Roll20CON this year at all. The announcements are all about Twitch, YouTube, and Roll20 Marketplace. Nothing for LFG, VTT, Players, and not enough focus on Community for the charity component. This is such a step backwards from past Roll20CON's going back to 2016. Seems like this year there's little or nothing happening on the VTT for the Community wihtin the scope of Roll20CON, just sales and announcements about it on other platforms owned by other companies.  Past years Roll20 asked what they could do to improve the Roll20CON, such as surveys or Forum threads after the CONs. This year is not listening or responsive to that feedback. People asked for Roll20CON to be announced earlier, to be gaming-inclusive, and to offer something for Players and not just for GM's.  Roll20 could easily do so much better.

I've always felt that Roll20 has rarely/if-ever done it's Roll20CON justice.  They should be hosting/sponsoring some games themselves and even running workshops to showcase what their system can accomplish.  Throw in some additional incentives and giveaways beyond a participatory roll20con badge as well.  Hype it up on the forums, discord, reddit, blog, email, etc. at least a month in advance (not the day of...) and most importantly, deliver.  I'll step off my proverbial soapbox now. ;-)
Woo. Party.

Level up with us! We can't.  The 2024 D&D character sheet doesn't have that functionality yet.   Probably could have chosen a better slogan considering...
