Roll20 Around a Table?

Hi folks, looking to tap up the brilliant minds on the forum here. Scenario: My round-the-table group will be at my home for a few sessions (we're normally in a community centre) and I've had the idea to lay a spare TV flat on the table and connect my laptop with Roll20 running on it so I can use the maps instead of my paper ones. The idea being I can use the dynamic light function etc. Problem: Roll20 is on the TV screen just fine, looks good, but obviously my laptop is the GM side of the game, so the screen doesn't show what a player would normally see, so no dynamic lighting. I tried another tab and 'joined as player', but the map was just black. Ask: Does anyone know of a way to show the maps on the TV with DL (or even FoW would do) so the players see only what their sight allows?  Tricky one perhaps? Thanks all

Hi Dave! This article is pretty old, but the advice is still good. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Using_Roll20_while_Playing_In-Person" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Using_Roll20_while_Playing_In-Person</a> also, less on -the-nose, but might have some helpful tech advice: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Streaming" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Streaming</a> Edit: Also, the PingBuddy script can help to keep a player party view centered.

Amazing, thanks Keith. I will go through these articles. keithcurtis said: Hi Dave!

I play in person around a Roll20 display on tv. I just use my computer with two browser windows open (one in chrome, one in brave) with one logged in as player and one as gm. The player view is shown on the tv, the gm view on my laptop screen. The players use their own character sheets however they would normally access them. I then place minis on the tv and/or use tokens in the Roll20 vtt (depending on the monster and complexity of combat, and whether I have any appropriate minis).

I was just about to create a player account aswell and invite that to my game. I'll give it a whirl!

Dummy Account &nbsp;tips

Cheers Keith &amp; Scott, cracked it now. M y GM account is logged into Edge (laptop) and m y player account is logged into Chrome (showing on the TV), and that player token can control all tokens. Brilliant!

As already stated, dummy account to use as an observer. This works GREAT when paired with the Observer mod/api script. What I do is when in turn order have it show the dynamic lighting vision of the current player's turn, and then when it's an NPCs turn it shows all the players vision at once (not the NPCs). It works super well.&nbsp;
