Roll20 is a website consisting of a set of tools for playing tabletop role-playing games, also referred to as a virtual tabletop, which can be used as an aid to playing in-person or remotely online. The site was launched in 2012 after a successful Kickstarter campaign. The platform's goal is to provide an authentic tabletop experience that does not try to turn the game into a video game, but instead aids the game master in providing immersive tools online. The blank-slate nature of the platform makes integrating a multitude of tabletop role-playing games possible.
During quarantine as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has allowed a variety of real-life games to transition online, facilitating RPGs in an online space. In July 2022, it was announced that Roll20 would merge with OneBookShelf to become a new company. In June 2024, Roll20 purchased the digital tabletop role-playing toolset company Demiplane.
