Why DMs Need the 2024 D&D Core Rulebook Bundle on Roll20

Does the Bundle sell THIS bad, that you really need this Advertisement?

Boo. Down vote for a straight out ad in the forum

The 2024 D&D sheet is not working (still). Not touching this with a barge pole. I have already down graded membership and will cancel altogether if this is not fixed.

Don't feel bad if it's not selling that great. Unfortunately, insofar as I'm aware, while there are some changes that are nice and don't scale horribly or the like, most of what I've seen of the newest iteration makes me more likely to homebrew or stick with 5e with tweaks as needed. Not enough innovation or streamlining in positive ways to make it worth the (for me) 5th reinvestment, discounting online media. I understand your struggles.

Ditto. I and my players aren't impressed with what we've read about D&D 5.24. We may have tried it out using the 2024 SRD if the new character sheet was working properly. Need is a very strong word to use here. loki said: Don't feel bad if it's not selling that great.

Shameless for promoting something that has been filled with bugs and cannot be integrated with the older sheets. Roll20 should be doing better then attempting to sell something they are still working on.

Can't wait to give it a try but I'm waiting until scripts can interact with the 2024 sheet before I make the switch. Keep us updated on your progress.

OK. Lets go with a plus and a cons approach on this : --- On the plus side : * the new compendium is nice and easy to use, the search in game could be faster tho. It tends to lag for no reasons (and its not my network). --- On the cons side : * the new sheet is a disaster. It's bugged out of hell. I can't even open my player's without making it bug and randomly setting one of their main stats to 100+... And that is only if the sheet opens at all... * the DM guide is of no use at all. Maybe if you are a new DM it can be, but if you have some exp, it's useless. * the Monster manual isn't there yet - that's normal as Wizards didn't publish it yet but that is still a bad point => Not recommended for me. I have it and I use it but it is not great at the moment.

So... if I post my free weekly game ad in two threads, that's spam, but this isn't?

The 2024 books are loaded with helpful work/tracking  sheets. I can't find that they have been incorporated into roll20. Which brings me to another point.  I have bought several packs on marketplace that come with background stationary.  Scrolls ect.. It would be great to be able to load them as background in handouts. 

Hi Dayrl! The work/tracker sheets are available as an addon that comes with the DMG2024. To install them, load them in the addon drop down on your home page: This will also install all of the maps in that product, complete with Dynamic Lighting.

If light mode and a usable character sheet is available before my subscription is up for renewal in early March, I'll *consider* buying the bundle. If not, I am definitely downgrading my subscription and start the process of abandoning my sunk cost....

Why can't I use my purchases including my 2014 player's handbook subclass options when I have both the 2014 bundle and basic 2024 rules, plus mordenkainen's, tasha's, volo's and and I'm on a pro subscription. I wanted to use the 2024 character sheets because I like how they're organized and I like the new character creation rules. I feel like I should be able to use that new format with my old purchased content.  Also, my Eberron module didn't show up when I created a new game using 2024 character sheets.  What's up with that?

Dm's don't need this, Hasbro does. You know, the same guys saying they 'use AI in all their games'. Shameful marketing to be honest. Plz fix the remaining issues on your DND 5th edition roll20 material before starting some new conquest no one asked for but the millionaires. 

The bundle at the bottom says: Featured Creators and Content: This exclusive collection showcases work from some of Roll20's most celebrated creators: -  Town Square Dynamic by Map Doctor -  Tranquil Taverns by Brave New Worlds -  Into the Wilds Volume 3: Traders and Dwellings by Tom Cartos -  Mixed Spooky Forest Road Maps by Mik Holmes -  Dynamic Forests V1 by MrValor -  Save vs Cave: Labyrinthine Dungeon by Gabriel Pickard -  Animated Ash, Leaves, and Glowing Sprites by Matt.M Animations -  Lighting Effects by Mediating Munky -  Animated Fire Atmospheric Overlays Two by Wild Magic Surge -  Immense Dungeons: Dungeon Tokens by Loke Battle Mats -  Modular Dungeon Craft: Dungeon Decor 01 -  Number 1 Adventurers Token and Portrait Pack by The Wanderer's Tome I was assuming by the way its written that all of those were included (because they are linked) in the bundle as a way of trying to compensate you buying the huge price tag and to get you to buy other works from those creators but it  seems that actually only very small portions of any of the content linked is included (few tokens, 1 animation, 1 or 2 map tiles, etc. rather than the entire package of those).  If I am mistaken please let me know. Thanks

so far 2024 content has been meh I wouldn't suggest anyone buy it on roll20 simply because the 2024 character sheets are utter trash filled with bugs and the 2024 books don't allow you to drag and drop onto the 2014 character sheets (which actually are usable) We tried to do a game using just the 2024 stuff and before the end of a single session the DM was using physical stuff and all of the players had fully remade there characters on paper or in a 2014 sheet because the 2024 was just that unusable, not even to mention how incredibly painful it was to make a character on it. honestly if I had to choose between using the 2024 sheet or quitting D&D I would give up the game. That all said the 2024 content isn't bad just the current digital iterations of it here on roll20 which is sad since 2014 stuff was done so well.

I'm waiting until I can run 2014 and 2024 sheets together in the same game.

Yeenster said: I'm waiting until I can run 2014 and 2024 sheets together in the same game. Hi Yeenster! What about this is not working for you? I am currently running a dual-sheet game. I have the players using 2024 sheets, and NPCs and Monsters running the 2014 sheets. For the most part it works pretty well. The major drawbacks are: A) there is no way to configure how monsters dragged in from the compendium configure their token bars. You take what roll20 gives you, and B) 2024 monsters dragged in as 2014 sheets do not populate spell casting. Other than that, it's working OK here.
