Dice Roller Settings

Settings → Main Settings → Dice Roller.

Whether dice rolls are shared with your players.

Option Effect
Public (default) Dice rolls will be visible on the external screen and web client.
Private Dice rolls will be hidden.

Which roller is used. Premium subscription only — without it, the standard roller is used and this row is not shown.

Option Effect
Standard (default) Standard dice roller using a pseudo-random number generator.
3D 3D dice roller using a high precision physics simulation.

Choosing 3D reveals the 3D sections described below, directly under this row.

The source of randomness behind every roll, for both roller types.

Option Effect
Mersenne Twister (default) Fast PRNG using the GameplayKit GKMersenneTwisterRandomSource implementation.
System Random Standard PRNG using the Swift random (arc4random_buf) implementation.
Crypto Secure Cryptographically secure PRNG using the SecRandomCopyBytes implementation.

All three are fair; they differ in speed and in how the randomness is produced. The default is the fastest and is fine for play.

The dice rolling sound. On by default, and applies to both the standard and the 3D roller.

Shown only with a Premium subscription and Type set to 3D.

How fast the dice simulation runs.

Option Effect
Normal (default) 1.0× normal speed.
Fast 2.0× normal speed.
Ultra 3.0× normal speed.

Faster speeds settle the dice sooner, which keeps play moving.

Overlays the renderer’s performance statistics on the dice view. Off by default; this is a diagnostic aid, not a play feature.

A theme is a material plus an optional tint colour and text colour.

The theme used by every roll that has no theme of its own.

Four roll kinds can each carry a theme of their own — Attack, Damage, Save and Check — so you can tell at a glance what was rolled. Any of them may be left unset, shown as Default in the list, in which case it follows the default theme.

Tapping a theme opens the editor, which shows a live preview above the settings:

  • Material — the dice surface, picked from the built-in materials.
  • Tint Color — the body colour. Swipe the row to reset it back to the material’s own colour.
  • Text Color — the number colour. Swipe the row to reset it likewise.

The editor is the one place in Settings that does not save instantly: press Save to keep the changes, or Reset to clear the theme entirely and fall back to the default.
