ALTERNATIVE DICE rolling for Play-by-Post games!

Post by kabkal »

Message from the Moderator:
Admin's note: This is a pretty solid replacement for the DICE rolls ability we lost after the forum upgrade - I recommend all PbP Players/Game Masters start using it! Thanks to kabkal for finding it - admin

OK, so the site is not down, it was user error (two L's not one). It appears if you roll the dice to a room there is a log kept. So, ROLZ.ORG might meet the needs until dice can be brought back in.

To test:
  • Go to https://rolz.org/
  • Click on Try out the Dice room button
  • Scroll down to the Rolz Forum Bookmarklet section
  • Click the Dice Roll button - a new window pops up. In this window,
  • Enter nickname (character name from here)
  • Enter dice room name (kabkal1 is my test site now, but we would use a name similar to game name)
  • Enter dice roll like 1d20+5
  • Hit the Roll button
  • Copy the embeddable forum code . For example: Image
  • Click the Dice Roll button outside the dice roll window to close the window
To see the log of rolls:
  • Scroll up to the join a dice room section (upper right)
  • Enter the name and room used above
  • Join the room
You will see all of the rolls total. To see the individual die hover over the green :info

Not sure what happens to the log after today as I did all of the testing this morning.

Please know I have no affiliation with the site, just looking around. Not sure if it will meet our needs or not.

Sounds like an excellent alternative!
I do think rooms are kept - at least until there is no activity for some predefined period of time...

Game Masters of the PbP could setup rooms and shere the information with their players!

OUT OF CHARACTER
Testing to see if I fixed rolz for me.

Appears I did. Leaving this here in case anyone is checking out the rolz log and is confused why I rolled a d1000
