Online TTRPG service Roll20 acquires Demiplane
Online TTRPG service Roll20 is strengthening its delivery for gamers.
Announced yesterday, the company acquired digital character management service Demiplane. Launching in 2020, the company has aided titles such as Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game, Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game, and Vampire: The Masquerade. More information about Demiplane can be found here.
Ankit Lal, CEO of Roll20 said this about the acquisition:
"Demiplane's streamlined yet powerful character builder and easily searchable compendium are deeply complementary to Roll20's growing ecosystem. For users, we’re excited to get Demiplane’s technology into more hands by bringing it to a new audience and adding support for new systems. As a one-stop distribution channel, Roll20 supports creators and publishers with an increasing range of digitally-native game formats. Whatever the playing preference – PDFs, print-on-demand, VTT conversions, or digital sourcebooks on Demiplane – Roll20 has it covered."
Demiplane Co-founder and CEO Peter Romenesko also said:
"Since first starting Demiplane, our goal has been to introduce great tabletop games to new and existing players and game masters around the world. We’ve been able to do that for nearly a dozen game systems in over thirty countries thanks to our great team and publishing partners. This partnership with Roll20 and DriveThruRPG supercharges several key strategic areas of focus for us. We’re looking forward to pushing into new territory together and are excited to embark on this next chapter for Demiplane."
