@jamesthomson I’m embarrassed to not know the answer, but is the ‘about’ page for Dice a calculator?

@jamesthomson @Verso I am glad the caption explained things. I think. Otherwise, I’d feel like I missed important news or a vital TPK episode. (Update: now also realizing this was a pinned 155-day-old post.)

Sort of the way I’m missing actually running both of my existing campaigns. (Update: this is still true.)

@jaharmi @Verso TPK is weird in my head because we are recording about two years ahead at this point and growing! I can barely remember the adventures as they are coming out.

@jamesthomson I’m following bootlegs, which I think are closer to current time — but I’m also trying to not get spoilers on the off chance I might be able to actually play instead of GM sometime.

@jamesthomson @Verso Separately, I wonder if you’ve seen https://dddice.com/ and might consider integration with it.

@jaharmi Not sure how I’d integrate, since they seem to be doing the same sort of thing as me, but I’ll check it out!

@jamesthomson Apparently they now have some integrations with VTTs and D&D Beyond. (#FantasyGrounds #FGU user on macOS, myself.) Only heard about it after the site was nominated for the Ennie Awards. Seems great for more lightweight online and/or in-person games, especially for a youth game club (since no account is required).
