Most players know a d20 when they see one and stop there. The Book of Dice keeps going for 107 pages: where the shapes come from, how the table talks about them, every way to roll, and why we keep coming back [1]. Full disclosure: we wrote it. rpgcreator.net is ours, the same people who run this roller. What is…
Gen Con 2026 ran from July 30 to August 2 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, and it was the biggest Gen Con yet. I was not there. I was at my desk in a different hemisphere, refreshing three liveblogs at once and doing the time zone arithmetic every non-American gamer does in early August. So this is not…
DnD Dice Roller has had its biggest update since it launched. Your dice lines can live on an account instead of in one browser, the save button is gone because the site saves as you go, and you can see, and choose, where your random numbers come from. Here is what changed and how to use it. Your dice lines…
D&D repeats itself. The same attack, the same damage, the same Constitution save every time the wizard takes an arrow. A preset is a roll you make often enough that rebuilding it wastes a turn. In DnD Dice Roller a preset is a dice line with a label. Name each line, press ++ to duplicate one instead of rebuilding it,…
Pathfinder 2e and D&D 5E attract the same players and still split tables down the middle. Both are d20 fantasy games with classes, spells, monsters and loot. They don't feel the same at the table. D&D 5E is easier to start and easier to improvise. Pathfinder 2e is more structured, more tactical and more precise. Neither is better; they solve…
. . . If a character sheet, spell or stat block has ever shouted this at you, you were reading dice notation: a shorthand for how many dice to roll, which kind, and what to do with the result. It looks like algebra for about five minutes. This guide gets you through those five minutes, then into drop, reroll and…
In January 1974, a small Wisconsin company shipped three booklets in a woodgrain cardboard box. The whole print run was 1,000 copies, assembled by hand, and it took eleven months to sell out [1]. Since then Dungeons & Dragons has had more makeovers than a polymorphed wizard, and every edition has partisans ready to tell you theirs was the real…
Greetings, noble adventurers, rogues, and people who press the refresh button too often! I want to step out from behind the curtain (and the code) to say this: the dice roller you've been using, through crits, fumbles and the occasional emotional breakdown, is no longer a small hobby site. I built it for fun, hoping it might help the D&D…
DnD Dice Roller is quick for a single and flexible enough to hold a whole character: a multi-line combat setup, a 5E ability score roller, or AD&D and homebrew rolls that physical dice can't do. This guide covers the controls, the advanced options, and worked examples with the odds behind them. Figure 1. Overview of the main controls. The basic…
