Can we load books we've purchased offline into Roll20 or do you need to purchase new copies of them on the Roll20 marketplace?

Ummmm… You can’t load them as they would look as a compendium with individual chapters, drag’n’drop items etc.

Roll20 does allow PDFs to be uploaded as a handout, not an area I’m familiar with but there may be size limitations…

Cory answered this, but I’ll toss in my but too. Yes. Even though you have PDFs, you would need to buy them on Roll20 to get the interactive stuff. I have both where available, though there are a few I still need to get.

Now I have a couple of compendia, is there a way of filtering the equipment - eg by TL range or keyword. Or sorting - by eg damage?

Hi Resslyn,

I don’t think so I’m afraid… The search, as far as I know scans titles and headers within the compendium pages…

For Traveller I do add TL to the item names I think to allow for items which have different versions by TL e.g. Vacc Suits etc.

The ‘data’ pages for items, eg those that can be drag’n’dropped into the character sheet are made up of a series of consistent attributes so they would be amenable to the sort of search you mention, basically a database-like query: select where TL<=8 and Type=‘Survival’ or whatever…but alas that is not a thing…

I’ll think further and do some experiments but I’m not confident…

As a GM I have found logging into one monitor as GM and one as a player is useful if you are hiding things or using Fog of War. That way you also get to see what your players see.
