The virtual tabletop platform Roll20 is launching its own digital dice roller. The recently released Roll20 Dice Roller app for smart devices and browsers will bring Roll20's unique dice rolling engine to new users separate from the platform, letting them enjoy its use in their home games.
The Roll20 Dice Roller App Launch
According to its press release, the Roll20 Dice Roller is a free, standalone application that can be used on smartphones, tablets, or PC browsers. The roller uses Roll20's QuantumRoll engine, the same technology it uses for virtual dice rolls across thousands of online games on the VTT.
The Dice Roller will retain the dice syntax seen on the Roll20 platform. This includes advantage/disadvantage rolls, keeping the highest and lowest rolls, exploding dice, reroll rules, and support for custom formulas. The roller even has dice presets for popular TTRPGs, including Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Daggerheart, Call of Cthulhu, and others.
“For years we've had the best dice engine in the hobby, tested across billions of rolls by millions of players, hidden behind a login screen,” said Dean Bigbee, Director of Operations at Roll20. “That felt like hoarding one of our best features. Other online dice rollers don't offer the functionality we’re used to within Roll20, and are often reliant on math.random() formulas that can't compete with our QuantumRoll engine. Now, anyone who needs to roll dice, simple or complex, can do it instantly and trust every result."
Overall, the introduction of the Roll20 Dice Roller offers online players more options for how they play digital TTRPGs. Plenty of players take advantage of Roll20's VTT features, including the recent addition of UVTT support and its vast catalog of support RPGs across both Roll20 and Demiplane. But having an app that you can pull up when playing with friends without fussing with setting up a campaign or logging in is always welcome.
