Roll20 adds API, javascript your dungeons!

The amazing Roll20 has revealed a new alpha feature, a Javascript API that lets you automate all sorts of actions inside your games, from automatically identifying monsters as bloodied/dead (which would save me a lot of faffing about) to traps and boss reveals. Take a look at the promo video:


You need to be a paid mentor ($9.99 a month / $99 a year) to use the API but if that's a bit steep for you it's still worth becoming a paid supporter ($4.99 a month / $49 a year) just to get the dynamic lighting effect.

And if you're flat broke like me, Roll20's free service is still awesome and should be thanked for enabling people to play roleplaying games anytime, anywhere.
