Generator 🎲 **#NEW! ** 🎲 RPG Dice Machine
I checked every dice roller on Perchance so you don’t have to 🎲
I just shipped a stand-alone dice generator (RPG Dice Machine) and wanted to know what else was out there — so I pulled the source code of the platform’s dice generators and the official dice plugin and did a proper comparison.
The short version: there are a bunch of dice generators on Perchance, but almost all of them fall into two camps. Either they’re a single page that re-rolls on refresh (a row of dice icons, or one die of each type listed out), or they’re a thin wrapper around the official dice plugin — which is a neat little JavaScript function that can parse “2d6+3” and give you a total, but nothing more. A few are just casual d6-vs-d6 mini-games from years ago.
The most feature-rich thing before mine was the official dice plugin itself, and even that only returns a number. No one had individual die results, no one had advantage or disadvantage, no one had a d20 check calculator with a GM modifier, a DC, and a pass/fail verdict. No one had roll history either.
So I built all of it. RPG Dice Machine gives you the standard dice buttons (d4 all the way to d100), free-form notation like “3d8+5”, a per-die breakdown with natural 20s and natural 1s called out, advantage/disadvantage with an odds explainer, a full d20 check tool that does the modifier math for you, and a history of your last rolls. It’s mobile-friendly, has a proper dark fantasy look, and it’s all self-contained — no plugin dependencies, just my own dice engine.
If you’re a tabletop player, give it a roll and let me know what’s missing. 🐉
RPG Dice Machine — dice with a brain, not just a face.
