I hope this is the right place to request this, but was hoping to get a new dice rolling system added to the roller. Specifically the Vampire the Masquerade V:5 rolling mechanics.

It basically uses d10s, but with 2 separate colors used for each roll. A simple x white dice d10s and x red dice d10s is all that would be required.

So anyway. Hope this is the right place to ask.

You can sort of do that by typing in a custom die code, say .... 4d10,3d10.

I forgot to mention it needed a target number of 6 as well.

Yeah, my idea won't handle that part.  You'd have to count the hits up manually (which means, remember to check off "Record each die".

So, you'd get a result like this:


23:59, Today: The Game Keeper rolled 27,22 using 4d10,3d10, rerolling max ((8,4,9,6,5,9,8)).

Of the first four dice - call it the White ones - that roll is 8,4,9,6 - three hits.

Of the other three dice - the red ones - that roll shows 5,9,8 - two more hits.

..

It's not perfect, but it's at least workable in the interim.  :)

Thanks.

I had a similar workable solution of using the Target Number system. Just rolling all the dice and saying to my players red ones are your left side, white are on the right.

I was just hoping that the powers that be would create a new one if I asked nicely.

Oh, they certainly might.

But at least your game doesn't have to float around in limbo while you wait to see if they can and will.  :)
