IGNORE THIS THREAD (unless you have the same questions I had and want good answers ... which is what I got, thank you All !!

I have been a Game Master in real life and now want to do it here.

I want to use the dice system RPG provides, but I simply don't understand how to use it. I know how to create a Dice Campaign; I just don't know what to do after that? Do I have to make all the dice rolls for the players? Or do I provide links in the IC that specify the type of die roll they are to make, followed by them making it? Questions like that.

Would someone with experience using it be interested in playing a little "practice" Role Play -- maybe something D&D like until I understand how to do it myself. (We might even continue our "practice" RP without the lessons if we are having fun.)

As a player or GM you make a "campaign" to hold your rolls and then you copy the link to the result and paste it. That way as a GM you can click on it and verify the results. My only complaint is that it's limited in features so stuff like like exploding dice has to be done manually.

Also, no. Let them roll themselves. If they read the rules they should know what to use or at least ask in the OOC thread. Inputting the commands to roll in a specific manner isn't difficult to do.

Haha, good thing I wrote this up eons ago!



As for running a dice game, simply do much what you do in a real game and add the results of your dice rolls either within or at the end of your post. Players are encouraged to do the same when they post altering takin appropriate actions such as during combat or a skill check. The way dice games tend to be expect more turn-based moments to be somewhat short; can’t detail how your character is throwing twenty attacks unblockable tj the enemy’s face when they statistically only have one attack at a +5 chance to hit.
