D&D 2024 Roadmap: Fixes Today, Features Tomorrow

Hello, adventurers! :) The new year is here and with it, a roadmap and vision for what's to come . Our mission is to make sure your group’s experience is as smooth and frustration free as possible. We've heard you loud and clear about what the community wants us to prioritize. We’ll be spending the next few weeks doing only that - devoted to finding and squashing bugs and making Roll20 the easiest place to play D&D. At the bottom of the blog, you'll find the known bugs we're addressing and the ones we've resolved - plus a link to the ongoing changelog . The blog also details a loose set of feature priorities we're working on so you know what to expect and look forward to. Happy questing!
2024 has ruined any enjoyment i have in roll 20, why release with this many bugs its have been borderline unplayable since the release.
And the CEO letter shows he is deluded
I have sent feedback and bug reports 5 or 6 times on this one subject that still hasn't been addressed. The Warlock Pack of the tome doesn't work properly. It only gives you Warlock spells to choose from, when it is supposed to give all spell lists.
lol yeeeaaa... i can see the writing on the wall
Customization and macro fixes?! How about a 2024 D&D 5e character sheet THAT WORKS!!!???
I cannot play the latest version of D&D any more on roll20. I have already downgraded my membership and only have retained membership due to sunk costs. The CEO's address adds insult to injury.

We are aware of this issue and have a fix in progress, there are a few different places where spells lists aren't quite right. The work here is a bit complicated, so I don't have a date just yet, but it's being worked on now.

When will we get real PDF support for character sheets?   I just saw " Jump between VTT and in-person play , with character sheets that sync between VTT and web." and I don't understand what that means without being able to print or PDF character sheets.

Hi PTR! It likely refers to you being able to play your character from the Roll20Characters feature or the App. Either of these would allow you to just see and roll from your character without logging into the VTT. If you can point to where you are quoting from, we might be able to give more info.
One of my friends is trialing our group's first 2024 game (allowing 2014 species/backgrounds but not pre-existing 2014 characters) so I got to create my first character for real in the new sheet (I've done a bunch of tests since it came out).  I used the builder, but ultimately had to "finish" it and complete the character by hand editing a number of things.  In some cases that may have just been because how to do it in builder wasn't obvious, in others it was, but just didn't seem to work. It was an incredibly painful experience, particulary the by-hand part: fields that discarded edits (I filed a bug report on one, I suspect others), other fields that could only be edited by finding an obscure dialog, and some that appear un-editable (I'm going to file at least one feedback on the one that really bit me). I'm an experienced DM. I have the 2024 PHB and DMG for reference. And, as it stands right now, there's zero chance I'll run a 2024-sheet game for my players, because if I can't navigate this relatively easily, it would be a disaster for them.  The game's about casual players having a fun saturday night, not dealing with broken software for fundamentals. I get that Roll20 was forced to launch this early, and was still spending resources on Jumpgate (which, I'll note, I'm fairly pleased with), but really, this is not a playable product, at least not from my perspective. The builder needs to "just work" and be obvious how it works for utter novices.  And the ability to hand-edit anything is important, there will always be some class/subclass from an obscure book I'm not going to buy that someone wants to run (I have a pretty extensive 2014 digital collection, but there are some books I only own in hardcover, because they're not often used and money is finite). This is what made the 2014 sheet a success (not the charactermancer, the ability to do / fix anything by hand when needed).

I know that things change and have to get pushed back, but having a better than "some time in the future" knowledge of when features are expected (like the auto conversion from 2014 to 2024) makes things a little more bare able.   I'm running a PotA campaign, and currently half my group likes the 2024 stuff, the other half dosent want to remake their characters, because the new character creator does not make it easy to convert (to be honest, 2024 dosent make it easy because of the major system changes, but I like them). It would also be nice to be able to have the NPC/monster stat blocks convert as well. A 2025 update to PotA (my favorite precon) would be awesome.

I would love to see the DND 2024 stuff removed from the compendium, gets in the way of playing 5th edition quite a bit and is confusing/frustrating to many of my players. Can either remove those options or put in a proper filter function on the compendium so my search bar isn't filled with garbage when I'm just trying to look up a 5th edition barbarians damage bonus? Plz and Thank u.  Note that have the 2024 stuff already turned off in my compendium settings, yet it still appears for both me and my players regardless. If that remains unfixed I'll assume that's kinda a weird way of continuing to advertise for 2024 and will end my subscription.  No one in the 3 groups I participate in wants to touch that stuff with 10ft pole, and I def don't need it confusing new players putting the rules side by side with 5th edition.

This is what made the 2014 sheet a success (not the charactermancer, the ability to do / fix anything by hand when needed). Agreed on both accounts - the builder needs to work for novices, and those with experience will want to manually edit. We've released improvements to the manual editing as well as results from the builder. The problem is complex when you take the novice experience into playing and leveling - everything set in the builder must be able to adjust with drag-and-drop and the sheet needs an "audit trail" when leveling up. The builder and manual expectations are at odds with each other for that reason. So, we have to develop the manual changes in tandem with the automated systems, so users can flow seamlessly between the two.

If that's not working, could you please submit a ticket on the help center? Solving your issue will require looking at your specific settings.

Hi everyone, do not know if this is the correct place to report an error in the 2024 charater sheet. BG "Guide" shows strenght instead of dexterity as bonus for the stats in the description. When you go to the Ability page it shows corectly Dexterity as preferred ability
When will we be able to print a D&D 2024 character sheet to PDF?

Best place to ask is probably here .
