Nolan T. Jones, Roll20: Episode 91

The Paid to Play Podcast

Roll20 co-creator Nolan T. Jones loved playing tabletop roleplaying games with good mates until relocating across the US almost ended his close friendships. Instead, he and his friends looked online for help with playing the games they loved - and when none of the solutions was good or easy enough to use, they built their own. Now, Roll20 is one of the world's largest virtual tabletop applications, and probably the most well-known.Thanks to Nolan and his mates, gamers across the world are getting together every day to play RPGs from Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder to Star Wars and Traveller. In addition to being part of an industry-leading tabletop gaming company, he's worked in comics, including writing the books 'Colonial Souls' and 'House of ORR.' He has a degree in film and East Asian culture from the University of Kansas, and considers himself a qualified speaker on screenplay structure, Dragon Ball, Vince Guaraldi, and the Mighty Mutanimals.
