How do Dice RPs work?

Du Pain · Oct 24, 2015

Hi, so I'm new to dice rps, but they seem very interesting. I think I understand that with them, you have to roll a certain number out of say, 20, to do a certain thing... But how do you actually make a dice system for an rp? Is there a program you use? I've looked on some rps and I don't always see an option to "roll dice," but sometimes it's there....

If I were to make one, would I need to download something for the dice? I need to buy a new laptop, but for the time being I use an IPad, so would that effect anything since I'm on mobile?

Sorry I'm asking so many questions, I'm just really curious!

There are a number of dice systems already out there, such as Dungeons & Dragons, World of Darkness, and Fate.

As far as here on RoleplayNation, there is a dice program already included. Look up on the floating bar; towards the right you'll see where it says "Dice." That will take you to the site's dice roller. No download required!

In RP threads and in Hosted Projects, once you've made a post, you can add a dice roll to it - the button will be to the right of "Reply," at the bottom of your post. It still uses the site's dice roller, but in a handy pop-up instead of having to go to a new page, roll, then copy/paste the roll's link into your post. What dice you roll depends on the RP's system, which will have been designated by the GM (games-master, a.k.a. dungeon master, storyteller, etc.).

Grey's got a pretty nice tutorial on Dice RP, but if you have any further questions, feel free to ask me.

Okay, I think I understand now. Thank you both!
