[Suggestion] Portraits

August 07 (10 years ago)
I'd like the suggest the possibility of setting your profile picture specificly for the campaign. Perhaps link it to your character sheet with a check box to use the picture from your character profile?

It's just something I personally feel could assist in giving you the immersion feeling. Sitting there in a fantasy pathfinder setting while having a Warhammer 40k profile picture shown.

(Also, I'm aware you can turn the pictures off, or minimise them but why have them there in the first place then?)

In short: Let us change our profile pictures for individual campaigns.

Previously suggested, but still a good idea. =D

I think it would be nice. Has been suggested several times (older threads).

A workaround method that I usually mention when someone wants this: You can use a 'webcam program' that puts a picture for your webcam feed, instead of sending an actual video feed. The game (players) need to be using video mode in Roll20 for this to matter. If you have the "video" feature turned off, this won't do anything.

Some examples of free webcam controller programs that can put a Picture for your webcam signal are:

+1 for it, I would like to see more game portraits being used :)

I tend to use skype with my webcam while D&D'ing, so I'd have to set up the program for the website and differ from my skype. It sounds like a hassle when it'd (supposedly) be rather easy to impliment.

Simply let it use the character portrait you've uploaded to your character in the journal. A small check box and such.
