🔎 ‘Shift Z” key now zooms focus to show art to players

🖊️ Issues with the pen tool, trash button, Measure Tool lingering, Toolbar menus, tooltips hovering, and other Tabletop issues have been resolved.

✔️ We’ve added some quality of life and usability improvements such as a more generous double-click threshold, clearer indication of what will be (or already is) selected, improved token marker sizing, and adjusted language on buttons in the right sidebar.

❕ Users can now transmogrify from non-Jumpgate games into Jumpgate games.

Roll20 Characters

🧝 Our team has updated avatars to support animated GIFs. At the moment, you still can’t upload them in Roll20 Characters, but if you upload it in the VTT, it will now work in Roll20 Characters as expected. It also works in the roll log and in the list of characters.

Dungeons & Dragons Character Sheet Alpha

We’re thrilled to announce that you won’t have to wait until the D&D 2024 launch in September to get your hands on our improved character sheet: our Alpha period begins June 18
