svRoller: Roll some dice

svRoller is a die roller widget. Now you can quickly add dice rolling to your website. Here it is:

How to Use It

Among gamers, dice are described in "d" format. Example: "2d6" means to roll two six-sided dice. Step-by-step, here's how to use svRoller:
  • Next to "type of dice", enter the number of dice to roll, how many sides they have, and any number you want added to the total.
  • The "Presets" buttons gives you a quick way to enter the most common game dice.
  • You can choose to enter a "Multiplier", which is a number to be multiply every roll by.
  • You can choose to enter a "Success" number. If any of the rolls is greater than this number, it will be marked as a "success", and the successes will be counted up for you.
  • Finally, enter the number of times you want to roll the dice, and click the "Roll Em" button to see your results.
  • Add svRoller to your website!

    You must be logged in to add a widget to your account.

    I am working on a plan to allow users to add the svUnits widget to their own websites. I will be asking for a $2 donation, but there are many benefits over competing "free" tools:
    • No spying! I'm not saying everyone spies, but as a webmaster I have a hard time figuring out who to trust when it comes to add-ons. You never know what weird things they might be doing in the background. I'm not interested in gathering user data. I'm not in that market. I will count hits, so you know if people are using the tool, and that's all.
    • Configurability. With a user account on my website, I will provide tools to let you choose the widgets you want and configure them to fit your site better.
    • Pure javascript. The whole widget is a single Javascript file, configured by PHP on demand. Very easy to install. Just cut & paste a little piece of code.

    More Notes

    A caveat for physics pros: mass and weight are combined here, to make it easier on casual users. Just assume "weight" means "mass equivalent at one gravity."
