Dice and Die Rolling

[Omar Khessib]

If I'm not terribly mistaken (which is entirely possible) this staff has vowed to take away Mod Dot in favor of die-rolling apps on smartphones and tablets. I happen to know of an app or two where you can "weight" the dice towards specific numbers, and others where so far this cheating modification has been impossible. 

So my question is this: Do you intend to post a list of staff sanctioned apps, a single official ECC die app, or something similar? If not, what is your solution to those who may want to cheat at dice?

[Katie Hester]

If staff is interested, I know that Jeff Meaders created a die roller for ECC last time reset was being discussed. It's the same code that we use for LoV and has a log that staff can review at any point in time.

Jeff very generously offered the use of his roller. It's a web based one, which has its pluses and minuses.

For the moment, staff is going to decide between that or another App that Wolf favors. We're going to play around with em at the meeting and settle on it. We still have a week or two before hard RP begins, so its not the most pressing priority at the moment.

[Victor Vaughn]

Can we bring actual dice, or will we be required to use a dice roller?

[Magic Rob]

You may roll actual dice for anything expect for mass combat, yes.

Combat with the intention of character death will need to be administered by a staff member, who will be conducting all of the rolls on their own tablet or smart phone so that we can properly log them and ensure there is no chicanery.

Sounds legit to me!

Staff's official die rollers are:

DungeonZ: dungeonz.com/DiceCalc

Staff will be using Jeff Meader's excellent roller for any sort of combat that we want to have logs of. Any series of dice rolling that may result in character death needs to be administered by staff. Anyone else that wishes to affect another character with any sort of lasting effect should do so with a logged result as well. vampire-ecc.azurewebsites.net/Default.aspx?

Anyone who might not have a smart phone. For a couple of bucks you can get off of ebay small felt lined boxes that can hold the dice and you can shake and open for rolls. At least that's my plan.

Is there a way to assign a difficulty to a roll using this app?

[Magic Rob]

It just reports what the roll is. There isn't a way for this app to dictate successes.
