I was wondering how you do dice rolls on here for your adventure.

Hi Wynterii,

As GM I do all the dice rolls in the game. The players seem happy with this. I use an Android app, Dicebag, which works very nicely as I can set up custom rolls for each player - "Nivek Initiative", "Tannen melee to hit", etc. It saves me having to look the bonuses up each time, which is a great help when you have to roll for everyone. If you look in the game's recent Out-of-Character Chat topic, there was a brief discussion about it and a screenshot.

I've always offered the players the option of doing their own dice rolls using the "Evil DM Dice Server" (Google it, or look in the game's House Rules topic). This allows them to set up their own dice rolls, the results of which are then automatically sent to the GM for verification. But nobody's ever taken-up this option. I guess it's just easier and quicker if the GM does all the rolls.

Hope this helps,

Joe

How disappointing. From the subject line, I thought this thread would begin more like this:

To JoeCarr28:

I have discovered video of the dastardly insult you directed at my baby sister last year. Consider this a digital slap in the face with my gauntlet.

Meet me tomorrow at noon with your choice of pistols, swords, or Magic Missile scrolls, or be forever eschewed by polite society as a coward!

Sincerely,

winteriii


PS Thanks for the tip about the EvilDM Dice Server and the Android App. Looks like useful stuff.

Hello I have an alternative to "Evil DM Dice Server"
It's a little script that I write for google site, you can try here :
https://sites.google.com/site/crabusrpg/diceroller

Perso mean Character and Lance de des mean roll dice.

You write something like 1d20, 2d30, 1d4 + 5, etc. So dice(+/-)modifier.
You have to refresh the page in order to see the result in the list.

You can clean the list by click on 'clean list' link.

Feel free to test it, I don't use it in this site. Feedback are welcome.
