How to Roll the Dice¶
Once you’ve created a new game, click the “Roll Dice” button.
Here, you can see an overlay with eight buttons and an input interface on the bottom, and “Enable Sum” and “Reset Sum” buttons at the top.
Rolling a Single Dice¶
To roll a two-sided dice (providing values 1-2 inclusive), click “Roll D2”. You should find the result of this roll directly above the “Roll D2” button.
All other “Roll D*X*” buttons function the same, differing only in the range of values you can achieve.
The “Roll” button with a text box below it allows for variable-range dice rolling. While the D2, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20 are common in many roleplaying games, sometimes a Dungeon Master/Game Master will want to roll a dice with a personalized range. Enter the upper bound in the text box (e.g, 212) and after clicking the “Roll” button, you should see a number appear above between the inclusive range of 1 and your entered number (in this example, a number between 1 and 212 inclusive).
Adding Multiple Dice Rolls¶
The Sum buttons are used for keeping track of multiple rolls without adding their sums by hand; one example of this could be when a player falls off of a 150 foot cliff. In DND 5e, the rules state that “a creature takes 1D6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it fell”, meaning a DM/GM would need to roll 15D6. In order to make this process easier, this DM/GM has the option of clicking “Enable Sum”, which will add up the results of all rolls while enabled. A second click to “Enable Sum” will stop adding new results, and to clear the sum one can press the “Reset Sum” button.
