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, however you cannot make hidden rolls. 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.

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.

HP Tracker

HP Tracker fully integrates dddice without need for the standalone extension. It allows to roll directly from statblocks inside HP Tracker, 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 HP Trackers dice-roller integration only if you want access to your premium themes.
