At long last, the end of year holidays are upon us! Whether you're making the trip home to see family or gathering your friends for a feast and some gifts, we wish you the most heartwarming times this season! Our team is getting ready to celebrate too, but first we feel the need to tie up a few loose ends and get in the holiday spirit! Let's start with a few words from our devs. Developer Spotlight Holliday charity pack and donations are now live Made gifting options easier to find for users without an account Bugfix: Properly displaying newest packs on the Marketplace landing page Bugfix: Bandaid fix that disables WebRTC when used with the currently incompatible Chrome 63 update Hello rollers, Steve K here. I wanted to give you another update on WebRTC. Last week Chrome's version 63 update became automatic for users of the browser and it caused issues for Roll20 users. This Chrome update deprecated certain legacy WebRTC functionalities that Roll20's integrated video and voice utilized. We've been working hard on a complete rework of the underlying systems that actually removes these legacy functionalities and gives us the opportunity to make a superior end user experience. However, this left us with a tough choice: It would take us as long to repair the existing chat system for Chrome users as it would to finish the new platform that should dramatically improve the experience for everyone. We've pushed out a bandaid patch that prevents the broken WebRTC from turning on with Chrome 63 and are pushing forward with the completely overhauled experience, which we hope to have on the Development server for testing very soon. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes to your holiday games and thank you for your patience. Until next time, happy holidays and happy rolling. Steve K. Roll20 Lead Developer Community Highlights Character Sheets Our French community does it again, this time with the slick and mysterious Aventures sheet for a French RPG by user Lyra S. We hope French speakers get a lot of use out of this beauty. Limited Availability for the Holidays You might be surprised to hear this but Roll20 is run by actual flesh and blood humans who need holidays too! As such we'd like to inform you, fellow humans, that as of tomorrow the team will be stepping away from our keyboards to rest! We'll be around for major issues like site outages but otherwise we'll only be providing limited holiday support starting tomorrow on December 23rd, 24th, 25th, & 26th. On the Marketplace It's the deepest days of winter... but also the best time to cheer a loved one up with gifts or simply spend time together, say, playing games? Our incredible creators have made it easier than ever with these beautiful new games and tilesets! Breakfast Cult by Paul Matijevic Winter is a great time for breakfast and questionable life choices. Combine that with lively art, beautiful writing, and one of the best digital conversions we've ever seen on Roll20 and you get our favorite new module, Breakfast Cult! We highly recommend checking it out. Go on. Go be your best occult anime self! The North Seat: Book One by Ethan Hudgens Encounter Roleplay's The North Seat presents a beautiful world of folklore and myth in a ready to play D&D 5e adventure filled with adorable characters and colorful maps. Everything about this module is warm and fuzzy. Modular Dungeon Maker: Nebulus Outpost by Mapsmyth Are you simply committed to the dark side? MapSmyth's Nebulus Outpost is one of the best quality space tilesets available. Perfect for original creations or simply recreating a recent scifi adventure with your own improved plot and dialogue! And don't forget.. you too can be a true friend hero and sprinkle joy upon the faces of your favorite people and GMs! You can gift just about anything on Roll20. Roll20 Charity Pack Need to do something nice this year to get off the naughty list? Donating to CyberSmile this holiday comes with its own rewards of holiday mimics and murderous cookies! Get involved here ! WOTC Highlights Treat yourself or a friend to some dragon slaying (sleigh-ing?) delights in Wizards of the Coast's latest Roll20 modules Hoard of the Dragon Queen and The Rise of Tiamat , available on the Roll20 marketplace! Is there a better gift for the holiday season than a powerful Dragon hellbent on destruction.......... probably not? If you're confident in your players' ability to take down Tiamat (or would just like to see them try), go ahead and live dangerously by indulging in the Tyranny of Dragons bundle which combines both modules! With that, we'll be signing off for the week and wishing you all a relaxing and fun time with those you choose to surround yourself with! May all your days be merry, -Alex
