Dice Extensions Guide

Written by Seamus Finlayson on Dec. 23, 2023

Owlbear Rodeo has great dice extensions that work well with D&D.

Dice

First we'll look at Dice, the first-party extension designed by the Owlbear Rodeo developers. It provides several beautiful sets of physics based dice, has a simple interface, and allows you to show your roll to other players or keep them secret.

But, for some, it might be a little too simple. The dice selection is limited and it doesn't save the result of previous rolls, which brings us to...

Rumble!

Rumble! is a chat window that lets you send messages to other members of your group. It's more than just messaging though, it also has physics based dice, well implemented safety cards, and Discord integration. Because of its chat based nature, all the rolls you make are saved. Rumble! lets you customize the dice with many different dice patterns and the ability to change the dice colour to any RGB value you want.

Bones!

A 'barebones' visual dice roller for your room. A small button is adding to the bottom-right of your screen which opens up a pop-up window with the dice controls. You can click a dice to add it to the roll, or right-click to remove it. Clicking the checkmark will roll the dice, right-clicking it will cancel the roll.
Bones! also has a notification system that will pop-up a little window briefly with all recent rolls. If you do a hidden roll, it will let people know you rolled, but not tell the results.

Witchdice

Witchdice provides some more advanced dice rolling options but lacks physics based dice. Witchdice provides discord integration, shares rolls with players, has roll result history, and also has a clock tool if your game uses those.

dddice

dddice is a physics based multiplayer dice roller. A tool that can be used external to Owlbear Rodeo. It connects to its own dice marketplace and has extra tools for streamers. dddice does require an account to take full advantage of all of its features.

Game Master's Grimoire

Game Master's Grimoire fully integrates dddice without need for the standalone extension. It allows to roll directly from statblocks inside Game Master's Grimoire, as well as defining a set of customizable Buttons and a quick-roll button. It also allows to sync dice with external site supported by dddice like DnD Beyond or dddice itself. No dddice account is needed to use Game Master's Grimoire dice-roller integration only if you want access to your premium themes.
