This is a Savage Worlds version of my die roller app Blind Roller - Savage Worlds Edition (314) aimed at helping the blind be able to roll their own dice without losing them or having to resort to braille dice or having someone else read them for
them.
One thing I don’t care for in Savage Worlds is the sheer number of dice that have to be rolled especially with the exploding mechanic. It contributes greatly to the speed of combat and lack there-of as a result. This app I believe will help with that problem. I’m going to put USB Numeric Keypads within reach of all the players and connect them to the same machine that’s going to be running this application so each player can roll their dice significantly faster as a result. Pressing 4 rolls a d4 and their wild d6 dice and takes care of any exploding dice etc. Key’s 3 and 7 take care of the most common (IMO) dice for a firearms related game by rolling 2d6 and 3d6 with one key press and of course taking into account any dice that explode.
As a result this is aimed to have all the controls located on a standard numeric keypad. The following keys are
active:
- 4 = Roll a d4
- 6 = Roll a d6
- 8 = Roll a d8
- 1 = Roll a d10
- 2 = Roll a d12
- 0 = Roll a d20
- 3 = Roll 2d6
- 7 = Roll 3d6
- . = Toggle Roll Wild Die
- * = Toggle Use Exploding Dice
- / = Toggle Display Totals or Each Die roll
You can also turn the toggles on and off through the Preferences menu.
