Where is a good dice roller ?

[Bigkrieg]

Does anyone have a good dice roller program they wouldnt mind posting on here? When I Gm games, my old laptop I use does not have internet access so I will not be able to use the dice roller under Utilities on the rancor pit website. Does anyone have the program for download or another good one?

Thanks guys!

This is an application I've used for a long time, QuickDice download and install, stand-alone application.

If you know anything about HTML & JS you could also create a stand alone locally served 'web page' that requires no internet and will do your rolling, I have one of those as well with animated dice ( was bored one day.. )

There's others out there, but with most people having internet or smart phones, most are moving towards internet based solutions, or smart phone apps...


EDIT: Note neither is specifically set up for SWD6's Wild Dice, so a ruling would need to be made that the first dice in the batch rolled is always the Wild Dice, or some such, as long as everyone knows the rule shouldn't be a problem...

Vong has actually made a WEG D6 dice rolling tool. Check with him and he might give you a link or something.

Looks at my drawer full of dice, the 5 sets of 10 10D from World of Darkness, the 6 sets of 10 D6 used for Star Wars & Battletech, and the 5 double sets of D20 dice for Pathfinder/D&D/Exodus, . . . .

Raises hand, "This is how I roll."

Seriously though, QuickDice is actually a pretty decent program if you dont want to use physical dice. Like Ty, I've been using it for a long time.

I just messaged Vong. If and when he responds to me, I will see about posting the link. Thanks everyone for your help!

I like it man. Thank you! If anyone has any other dice rollers, please post!

[Azai]

Yea, thanks Jamfke, that roller is really useful.

Here's one that's awesome for my D6 games. It will show you what you rolled, show in a separate form what the Wild Die was, gives you the option of adding wild die up normally or dropping the highest and lowest. Further, you can click a button and add a character point. It also accounts for re-rolls for 6's on the wild die. I love this thing.

Thanks Cheshire, Is there anyway it can be downloaded and used on a computer that will not have internet access though?

[cheshire]

yeah, it's an html file, but you can run it locally. Just save it to your hard drive (or flash drive), then run it from the drive. Your web browser will still recognize it even if you don't have internet access.

I like the roller posted by Cheshire but would really like to get the one under utilities on the Rancor Pit home page. I would like to have that on my old lap top in where neither the internet or the browser works.
