Ultimate RPG Dice Roller: Roll, Track, and Save Your Results

RPG Dice Roller App: Custom Dice, Macros, and Statistics

What it is

  • A mobile/desktop app that simulates tabletop dice (d4–d100 and custom faces), records roll history, and provides analytics for RPG sessions.

Key features

  • Custom dice: Create dice with any number of faces, labels, icons, or weighted probabilities. Save presets per campaign or character.
  • Macros & presets: Define reusable roll formulas (e.g., 4d6 drop lowest, advantage/disadvantage, skill checks with modifiers). Trigger macros via buttons or hotkeys.
  • Statistics & analytics: Track frequency, averages, highest/lowest, and distribution histograms for specific dice or macros. Export CSV of roll logs.
  • Roll history & session save: Keep per-session logs, searchable by tag (combat, loot, skill check). Optionally timestamp and annotate rolls.
  • UI & UX: Tactile virtual dice, keyboard shortcuts, vibration/haptic feedback, dark mode, and customizable layouts for quick access.
  • Integrations: Copy/share roll results, link to VTTs (virtual tabletop) via webhooks or simple text output, and import/export presets.
  • Accessibility: Large targets, screen-reader labels, and color-adjustable themes.

Typical user flows

  1. Create a custom die with 12 labeled faces (e.g., weapon effects).
  2. Build a macro: 3x custom die + +5 modifier, save as “Flame Strike.”
  3. Run the macro during a session, annotate outcome, and let the app update statistics for that macro.

Design considerations

  • Ensure randomness quality (use cryptographically secure RNG if fairness matters).
  • Let users opt into or out of persistent logging; provide easy export and deletion.
  • Balance feature density so new players aren’t overwhelmed; use progressive disclosure.

Monetization ideas

  • Free core features; paid tier for advanced analytics, cloud sync, and VTT integrations.
  • One-time paid custom dice packs or themed UI skins.

Privacy & data

  • Store minimal personal data; keep roll logs local by default with optional encrypted cloud sync.
