How to Use the Dice Roller
The Dice Roller is a versatile random number generator supporting multiple dice types essential for tabletop gaming, role-playing campaigns, and probability-based games. Roll D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20, D100, or any dice combination you need with realistic 3D animations and instant results for seamless gameplay.
Select Your Dice Type
Choose which type of die you need to roll from the available options. D4 (pyramid-shaped, 4 sides), D6 (standard cube, 6 sides), D8 (8 sides), D10 (percentage die), D12 (12 sides), D20 (20 sides for classic RPGs), or D100 (percentage rolls). Most Dungeons & Dragons players use D20 most frequently, but different games and situations require different dice types. Select based on your game's requirements.
Set the Quantity of Dice (Optional)
Decide how many of that die type to roll simultaneously. Rolling 2d6 (two six-sided dice), 3d10 (three ten-sided dice), or even 4d12 (four twelve-sided dice) are all common combinations. Many games specify "roll 2d6 for damage" or "3d10 for initiative." Input the quantity you need, and the Dice Roller handles all dice in one smooth animation.
Click Roll to See Your Dice in Action
Press the roll button to initiate the animation. Watch as your selected dice tumble and bounce with realistic 3D physics simulation. Each die rotates independently, creating a satisfying visual experience that mimics rolling physical dice on a table. The animation takes 2-3 seconds, building tension as you await your result.
Review Your Individual and Total Results
Once the dice settle, the Dice Roller displays all results clearly. You'll see each individual die result plus the total sum. For example, rolling 2d6 might show "Die 1: 4, Die 2: 5, Total: 9." This breakdown is essential for games that care about individual results, while the total is crucial for damage calculations, skill checks, and other game mechanics.
Roll Again for Additional Rounds
Most games require multiple die rolls during play. Simply click roll again for your next check, initiative, damage roll, or whatever your game needs. The Dice Roller resets and stands ready for the next roll. Continue rolling as many times as your game session requires.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Dice Roller
What dice types does the Dice Roller support?
The Dice Roller typically supports all standard polyhedral dice: D4 (4-sided), D6 (6-sided), D8 (8-sided), D10 (10-sided), D12 (12-sided), D20 (20-sided), and D100 (100-sided percentage dice). These cover virtually all tabletop RPG and board game requirements. Some versions may support even more specialized dice types.
Can I roll multiple different types of dice at once?
Most Dice Roller versions require you to select one die type at a time, then input the quantity. However, advanced versions may allow "mixed rolls" like "2d6 + 1d4 + 1d8" in a single roll. Check your specific platform's capabilities, but you can always roll different dice types sequentially for different game mechanics.
How many dice can I roll simultaneously?
The Dice Roller typically supports rolling anywhere from 1 die up to 100+ dice in a single roll. Even rolling 20d20 works smoothly with individual results for each die displayed. This flexibility accommodates extreme game situations and magical effects that require enormous numbers of dice.
Is the Dice Roller truly random for fair gaming?
Yes, absolutely. The Dice Roller uses cryptographically secure randomization algorithms that ensure fair, unbiased results. The 3D animation is purely visual—the actual roll result is determined by true randomization, not by animation mechanics. You can use this tool with confidence in competitive gaming situations.
Can I apply modifiers to my dice rolls automatically?
Many advanced Dice Roller implementations allow you to add or subtract modifiers automatically. For example, you might roll "2d6 + 3" for a skill check with a +3 bonus, and the tool calculates and displays the final total automatically. This saves calculation time during gameplay.
What's the animation speed, and can I make it faster?
The standard animation takes 2-3 seconds for dramatic effect and to mimic the experience of rolling physical dice. Some versions offer speed options—instant results for quick play or extended animations for spectacle. Check your specific implementation for customization options.
Can I use the Dice Roller during online video gaming with other players?
Perfect use case! Share your screen during video calls so all players see the same roll results simultaneously. This transparency is essential for remote gameplay and ensures all participants trust the randomization. Many game masters use the Dice Roller specifically for this reason during online campaigns.
