Want to use Roll20 to play in person with my kids under one paid account

Is it possible to have one paid account where I start and run a game as DM and my kids log in under the same account and join as multiple characters?  If so how do I do that?
You won’t want to do that. If your children are logged into your account, then they’ll be able to see everything you can see as GM. (Yes, you can ‘Rejoin as Player’, but it’s not a great option compared to the alternative, and is prone to accidental spoilers.) instead you can create one separate player account, or multiple player accounts quite easily.&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dummy_Account" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dummy_Account</a> . Read down in the section about using a single Gmail account for multiple Roll20 accounts.&nbsp; If you are using any Plus or Pro features, only the Game Creator needs a paid Roll20 subscription. All of the other players will get the benefits of the single paid subscription (Dynamic Lighting, Mod scripts, etc.). There’s so little downside to having a separate player account (or multiple) - the only downside is having to log in to another account. There are a lot of benefits to having a separate account (listed in the Dummy Account wiki above).&nbsp;
Thanks for the reply!&nbsp; With a dummy account would they get full access to the D&amp;D character creation options or would I still have to purchase the Player's Handbook on each dummy account?
Your GM account would enable 'Compendium Sharing' in the game that your players (kids) are in, and they will get access to the D&amp;D character creation options. <a href="https://help.roll20.net/hc/en-us/articles/360037258674-Compendium-Sharing" rel="nofollow">https://help.roll20.net/hc/en-us/articles/360037258674-Compendium-Sharing</a>

To reiterate Jarren's point: If you have a paid account, there is absolutely no advantage to your kids having paid accounts, unless they are planning to run their own games for others. You don't even need to use a dummy account for them. They can participate as free accounts and take advantage of all your purchases in their role as players.
Awesome, thanks!
