Hey guys,
We use Roll20 for our games because it's nice to have some map visualisation. We use D&D Beyond for our character sheets and the Beyond20 extension to link the two.
This works absolutely great, but there's one small problem:
Roll20's UI is just a confusing mess, and changing settings is frustrating and unnecessarily complicated.
I'm trying to turn off whisper rolls. There is no general setting for this, as I understand, and has to be done for each individual game. However, no "Settings" option even exists on the game page, where every tutorial says it should be. There's "Launch Game", and then there's "Content" with a drop down that has the option "Chat Archive" and nothing else. Then there's "Leave Game". There are no further options.
All I'm trying to do here is turn off whisper rolls to the DM. Why is this so difficult?
Confusingly, for a game in which I am the GM, there IS a "Settings" option, but the only thing it has in the drop down is "API Scripts" and "Leave Game"
I have checked under "My Account" and "My Profile" for some sort of general settings or preferences, but nothing exists there. I've checked the ingame settings tab and there's nothing there either.
I don't wanna bash Roll20 here because it's a useful tool for my games, and some of the features are really good. But honestly it has one of the worst UI experiences of anything I have ever used. It's like they took every feature and option, wrote each on a different card, shuffled the deck and just kinda left stuff wherever. Not just for this specific issue, but in general.
How do I fix this?
