If you're here, you're looking to roll some dice without having your DM present. Maybe you want to earn some money, craft a weapon, or organize some workers for your big construction project. In any case, you're going to need to make sure those dice rolls are officially recorded (and to make sure that you haven't just been rerolling until you get that sweet, sweet 20).
Now I could go ahead and code a big extensive application that would let us get the result of these rolls together and noted on a log, or... well, someone else could have done it. Also, I have very weak coding skills, so in all honesty, we are better served by the sweat of someone else's brow. So here's a shout-out to PBE Games, fine purveyors of numerous RPG gizmos and doodads to better serve your games.
We're going to be using their Dice Roller, a relatively simple tool that will explain nonetheless. With pictures!
This is what you will see when you use the link. It shouldn't be too complicated to figure out. Let's go through this process step by step.
At the top, put in your email address. Beneath it, type in the email of the person you are sending this roll to (presumably me). As someone on the receiving end of this roll, I would like you to include a "Summary of Rolls" so that I know what they're for. for example, your summary may be "For Crafting."
In the games that we are currently playing, we have no need for "Signature Only," so I would disregard that unless told otherwise. It will send an email without showing the result of the roll. Finally, the results should be sent to Email or Both. I can't exactly rule on a roll if it doesn't get emailed to me.
And of course, the dice rolls themselves.
- Number of Rolls indicates how many times you would like to make that roll. This way if you need to, for some reason, roll the same skill check multiple times, you can do so without using the Dice Roller multiple times.
- Example: I'm going to roll 1d20 five times. I put "5" in the Number of Rolls category and will get five different rolls.
- Dice Type is what roll you're making. This could be in the form of 1d20, 2d12+3, or even the fabled 7d42-13. The website itself has more examples of how you can use the dice type.
- Rolls per Line is just a formatting preference. You really don't need to futz with this.
- Comment will tell me what that specific roll is for. You might have sent me a number of rolls "For Crafting," but some are for "Crafting Scrolls," "Crafting Potions," or "Crafting Weapons."
So there it is. The Dice Roller in all it's glory. Just make sure that you send me the email and I'll respond what the results of your rolls (give me some time, as I am a very busy Dungeon Master). Also, contact me for my email if you don't have it.
Happy rolling!
