DiceTool makes short work of games that need plenty of dice rolls

If you play table-top games, you will know that many rely on frequent dice rolls to add an element of chance. Most of the time this is all part of the fun but there are times when lots of dice rolls are needed, such as character generation, and it becomes a chore instead.

DiceTool is intended for just these occaisions and can make light work of even the most extreme dice rolls.

The interface is basic, which is a good thing in this case. The dropdown menu at the top left selects how many dice rolls to make and there are nine kinds of dice beneath. The number refers to the number of sides so a d12 has twelve sides. Click on the button to make the rolls.

The numbers appear in the right hand column and there is also a column that adds the numbers together.

There are nine boxes at the bottom where you can add numbers rather than having to write them down until you are finished.

It is even possible to run DiceTool and the other tools from RPTool directly from your browser using Java. Click here to find links for all the different programs including the Maptool and InitiativeTool.

It might be a very specialised program but Dicetool is good at what it does and should save a lot of time when playing table top games.
