Your instincts are correct, yes you can own all of the indulgences, but their effects are not independent. If you can “keep up to 5%” and “keep up to 20%”, 20% is as much as you can keep.

tbh the stacking rule was a necessary addition for other purchases to work how I wanted, and the cathedral purchases have been a little confusing ever since. Saying “up to X%” was my best way of simply saying “you get this much and no more, regardless of which other indulgences you have.”

I didn’t include a rule to prevent buying ahead with indulgences, so you can do it if you like. As you say, I did try to be explicit about stating when another purchase is a prerequisite but I also understand that there is a bit of ambiguity here. Ultimately though, it’s your game and you can play however feels right for you :)

edit: oh and as for the level up purchases, it was my intent to buy them in order but I can see now that I was not as clear in that case. That said, with the cost increases being what they are it’s pretty fair to play it either way I suppose.

I wouldn't worry too much about honest mistakes like that, it can be fun to work out ways to correct or rebalance for them - but also it's fine to just carry on and play differently. Whatever you're happy with is cool :)

So the WP shouldn't actually decrease, it's just there to compare your blood drops to. So the cost of the side quest doesn't change until the world (and therefore the demiurge WP) changes

Your first idea is the right one. The d4 sets the base amount of class dice each day, and cluster attacks adds more dice on top of that. 👍

You're super welcome, I'm glad you were able to grab one and I hope you have a good time rolling!

You’re super welcome! I hope your campaign goes well! :)

You can use the sheets however feels best for you, but your current approach might become overwhelming after playing for a bit.

What I’d recommend is using a row for each dice pool (or parts of a pool even, if the pool has a lot of different dice).

So currently you would have one row for your class (Knight, d10) and one for your allies (Mouse, d3). Tomorrow you can roll each and write their results in the “Drops Drawn” column before totalling them and adding that sum to your Blood Drops. Then erasing everything from the “Drops Drawn” column ready for the next day.

This way you’re only adding new rows when you acquire new dice pools, and only changing their details as you upgrade the pools.

I’ve tried to include things like that in a few places. After all, the game takes place across multiple false worlds - including some that are out here with us.

I will, thanks!

Not yet, sorry! There’s an issue with getting it printed that is still being worked on.

Thanks for sharing! I’m really glad you’re having a good time with the app! :)

Hi sorry about that, those are both my bad! I wanted to make this page public even though the game isn't released. I'll change the page to make that clearer!

It shouldn't be too long though, hopefully next week (or maybe the one after) I'll be able to release it. There's just been an issue with DriveThruRPG that has hindered getting a final print proof, but it's being worked on.

websocket stuff is probably a little out of my way, buuuuuuut depending on how binding for streamdeck works - this might already be possible!

If you save a roll expression, you can then edit it (right-click/long press and then click the wrench icon) and give it a hotkey (which can be a keyboard or gamepad input). Pressing that input will trigger the expression to roll, so if the streamdeck can trigger inputs like that - it may already work?

tbh though I don't know myself for sure how a streamdeck works and I don't have one to test, so I'm mostly just typing this and hoping for the best for you!

maybe you didn’t realise I was this community’s moderator when you reported my own post as:

“blatantly attacked another user though a comment, insulting what they assume is their personal life at am attempt to force them off the platform”

which it clearly isn’t. Obviously. You’re wasting my time, I told you not to do that. So you’re banned here. (And again, this isn’t censorship: you’re free to go be annoying elsewhere, but not here. I’m not even going to delete your posts, but frankly you shouldn’t consider this a favour- they make you look very foolish. I advise you find something else to invest your time in.)

okay so first of all, this is not censorship. If they deleted your comment then you can post it elsewhere. You are not endangered by doing this, nobody is threatening you or anyone you care about, there are no consequences for your critique except maybe it getting deleted, and nothing is stopping you posting it again elsewhere.

secondly, I have to assume that since you are putting so much energy to an issue so trivial that either having your comment deleted is the worst thing that has ever happened in your life and you have nothing else to be concerned about… Or (and, to give you some credit, I think this is much more likely) you actually have some shit you’re facing IRL and feel you have no control, escape, or way to deal with it. And instead you’re doing this.

If you need actual help, I beg of you to seek it out. There ARE people that will look out for you, even if it doesn’t seem like it.

otherwise, don’t waste my time. I genuinely do not care that your comment on a game got deleted.

I thought I had implemented this feature already, but it turns out I haven't. I'll try to make it work in the next version.

For now, I think dice expressions are the closest thing. When you create a new expression it will by default match whatever roll is currently out, so that might save a little time but obviously this is probably not ideal for you. Sorry!

Honestly, I can’t remember! I’m not at a computer right now so I can’t check, but even if it does make a difference it will probably only affect the order they are listed in. I’d recommend doing it that way just to keep your folder organised but it probably doesn’t matter too much beyond that.

the images that the app loads are all from a single folder, so you can just put your images there, but when you’re editing the die faces you’ll still have to apply them one at a time.

Detailed docs are here: https://sophiehoulden.com/dice/documentation/customising_dice.html

Sorry! If the solution above doesn't help there isn't anything I can do right now. I'll look into making a signed version but I'm pretty busy with  other things right now and I haven't done it before so it might take quite a while!

I don't know of any automated way to do it and I haven't implemented that myself, sorry. You'll need to do it manually by copying the files betweein the dice folders:

https://sophiehoulden.com/dice/documentation/customising_dice.html#custom_dice_f...

yep! When you create a new dice bag, you can choose to include the example dice in it, this will add a copy of all dice and bags as they were when the app was first run.

This is a bug, sorry! If you test the die after closing and opening the app it should work properly.

The bug is that edited dice have several hundred faces (that don't get used), and loaded dice have the right number of faces. So any time you make or change a die, it will do this when testing (until the app reloads). I keep meaning to fix this issue but I've not been able to get round to it yet, sorry!

After running the app, there should be a "Sophie's Dice" folder in your documents directory, put the divination dice in there and they will be loaded the next time you run the app. 

There's a little more detail in the app documentation here:

https://sophiehoulden.com/dice/documentation/customising_dice.html#custom_dice_f...

if you go to the settings and then “Results”, you can disable String Stacking. This is ungrouped, but not necessarily unsorted, because they will be in the order that the dice spawned. If all the dice are the same type, or you spawn the dice in an arbitrary order, then the order of results will also be arbitrary. Hope that helps :)

Yes! This is part of the idea behind the “Dice-Type Swap” variant, though having the extra difficulty of determining which die is which piece for which player might make it more of an obstacle than an aid…

Hmm, perhaps instead, a kid could roll “with advantage” (roll twice and take the higher value)? Something I’ll have to test!

dropped/disregarded dice are not counted towards dice sums, though I am not familiar with Wretched and Alone mechanics - if you need to completely remove a certain kind of dice from a pool so that they aren’t included in re-rolls, you will need to do that manually for each individual die (though it may be simpler to just have an expression that counts the 1s, and then you can roll a pool with that many fewer dice next time).

I hope that helps!

The reason for that is actually mechanical! If the last wheel is correctly placed when the cam is at a certain angle, the lock can jam. The number range isn’t the same on all IRL locks, because the dial can be rotated differently to the cam - however it is common for real locks to not have the final number be set in some specified range to prevent any problems.

In the simulator, the contact points are always the same relative to the dial, and so the final number in a combination will always be outside of the same range.

The app won’t ask you specifically, but you can specify which dice you roll before rolling by using roll expressions (the button between the dice bag and the X buttons).

You can enter your expression like this for two simultaneous rolls:

5d6, 7d6

Or if tunnels and trolls uses opposed rolling, you could subtract one from the other like this:

5d6 - 7d6

You can view full documentation for notation that expressions can use here.

I’m not 100% sure I understand the behaviour you’re describing, but it can’t be done with current roll condition syntax alone.

I think, it might be doable with a customised d100 however (though the actual d100s take a long time to roll).

1. Make a new d100, call it something unique (eg “merp”)
2. On faces 96 and up, use string values of “[96+merp]”, “[97+merp]”, etc
3. On faces 5 and below, use the string value “[5-merp]”, etc

Though like I say I’m not sure I understand exactly, since this can mean alternating additive and subtractive explosion on the lower rolls, and it doesn’t incorporate any rerolling.

Either way I think that is as far as you can get in the app right now without doing things manually, sorry!

Thanks! ❤️

I modelled the various swirls and stripes in blender, and made a script to colour them randomly when instanced. The glass balls themselves use a shiny spatial material, but I think it was enabling refraction that really makes them seem more ‘marble-like’.

Thanks for letting me know! ❤️

This one is actually pretty tricky, so it’s probably easier to just roll the dice and work it out yourself, but here’s my best attempt at a roll expression to do this (you might be able to do better with a good understanding of maths and the available dice notation:

roll=2d8, doubling=((roll-8)*2)*roll#, max(roll,doubling+(roll#*8))

This outputs three results, “roll” which is just the 2d8, “doubling” which sums any doubled values as a result of rolling 8s (roll# is the number of 8s in the roll pool, using the ‘count’ condition). The final result is greatest value; either the roll, or doubling plus 8 times the number of 8s rolled.

The final result will work as the value you want unless both dice roll 8, in which case you’ll need to use the ‘doubling’ result (or just remember that it is always 32 for that roll).

Like I said, it’s tricky! A lot of roll logic is deceptively complicated even when it seems simple in English (the ‘other die’ is the main complicating part here. If you wanted to just double the value of both dice for each 8 it would be much simpler:)

roll=2d8, roll*max(1,roll#*2)

Anyway that’s the best I can do for now, sorry. Hope it helps!

I’m really sorry about this, the app not running on M1 is something I’m looking into but in all honesty I’m not sure if it is an issue that I can fix.

Hey so first up:

You can make a dice bag that includes all the example dice at any time by selecting the '+' button on the hotbar and choosing the dice bag icon, from there toggle the 'Example Dice' option and then select 'Create Bag' - the new bag will have all example dice in it, including the Lancer dice :)

Secondly:

A "Copy from tray" option is a very good idea, especially since I've been thinking about how to check the dice other people roll when I add online play. I'll add it to my notes and think about how it could be implemented for a future version.

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm sorry I didn't reply before recreating a die the hard way (though I respect your love for ensuring a die's preservation!)

Hopefully for the next update, sorry about the inconvenience!

You could definitely explode a d20 into a d8:

d20!{20=[d8]}

but the d8 will be added to the d20 result because it is part of the same dice pool. To sum the damage pool with the exploded d8, you would need to look at the dice and do the sum yourself.

So whilst it is possible to roll both attack and damage at the same time, I would recommend rolling the attack first and then rolling damage afterward if the attack hits (this saves good damage rolls from being wasted too ;p)
