Project Jumpgate: The Improved Tabletop Experience
Roll20 has been bringing gamers together for over a decade! In one of our most ambitious endeavors since launch, we harnessed cutting-edge technology to deliver the first-ever rebuild of the virtual tabletop: codename = Jumpgate!
Now available to all users.
The Tabletop of the Future
Project Jumpgate is driven by user feedback, letting you focus on what matters, no matter your play style or game of choice.

Smooth Gameplay
Your VTT should never get in the way of your games, regardless of what you throw at it. Enjoy seamless play anytime, anywhere, directly in your browser, no matter the size of your maps, encounters, or campaigns.

up-to-date tech
Jumpgate is powered by the latest web technology and delivers the faster, smoother performance you've been asking for. We've replaced our oldest code to ensure we’re future-ready for all your adventures to come.

Making Hardware easy
We’ve made sure the new Tabletop runs smoothly on more devices, including tablets with enhanced touch support. Whether you’re on a high-end gaming rig or a barebones Chromebook, we've got you covered.
The Foreground Layer is Here!
Now available in all Jumpgate games created by Plus/Pro Subscribers: the Foreground Layer adds depth and dynamic interactions to your games.
This GM-accessible layer renders above the Token Layer, allowing foreground objects like roofs, treetops, and overlays to obscure the map and tokens in your campaign. Customize fade actions of foreground objects triggered by token interaction to create hidden surprises, dramatic reveals, and more. Let us know what you think!


Build Epic Maps in Minutes!
Dungeon Scrawl is a free, easy-to-use mapmaking tool designed to make creating simple, spark creativity by enabling exploration, and take the stress out of creating maps for TTRPG campaigns.
Now, thanks to a brand-new connection with the virtual tabletop, whether you need a last-minute tavern, want to prepare an intricate dungeon for your players, or simply love an excuse to get the creative juices flowing, it’s never been easier.
Multiple D&D Character Sheets in-Game
Use both of the official Dungeons & Dragons 5E sheets within one campaign in Jumpgate games. Players can choose the sheet that works best for them without the whole table needing to switch at once.


Effects (FX) Tool: Now Free for All Users
Enjoy a revamped pre-built Effects Library featuring enhanced visuals, new Effects, and a better interface featuring quality-of-life improvements like more precise click-and-drag gesturing and measurement. Pro subscribers can access advanced customization options, allowing for unique particle effects tailored to any scenario.
Quality of Life Improvements
Jumpgate builds on the work we began with our user interface redesign efforts in 2023. In addition to Page Folders, we've upgraded undo/redo, copying and pasting, and right-click options to save time and effort. Pinging, zooming, and panning are smoother than ever, and animation uploads are revamped (with increases to file size).

10x Performance
Focus on playing without worrying about slowdowns.
On Jumpgate, animations run up to 10x smoother, loading times are improved, and campaigns use only half the CPU power and a third of the memory compared to before. Push your play to the limit and let us know how it goes!
Simplified GM Game Prep
Place objects outside the bounds of your maps, keeping enemy tokens, quick sketches, and more to the side, ready to bring in when needed. Pan beyond page edges to focus attention anywhere, positioning your game however it suits your setup, just like your in-person games.
