@Cao the Exiled That's alright ^^. I'll accept this roll as a blip while we get into the groove of things but here's a rundown of how to do it in future. It's pretty straightforward when you get the feel for it:
At the top of the homepage opposite the Newcomer section, click Dice:
You'll come to the campaign screen with a list of all the site user's dice. You can only roll in your own campaign so click New Campaign at the top right. In future, you'll always be able to find your campaigns at the very top.
Open up your campaign and fill in whatever type of dice roll you are doing. For example, if Atanase made a Medicine check,you could write 1d20+2 in the box and add "Atanese Medicine Check" into the description.
Once you roll it, you can then copy it into your post using the Copy Link button:
I think this is still the most seemless method for the forum since it's in built. However if it's easier for people, I have the characters saved in a Roll20 lobby and people could log in and roll there if they prefer. That would work for me too as I usually have that open with the thread.
Another alternative would be setting up a Discord dice roller but my worry with that is backscrolling through results might take a little longer. Both alternate methods mean they won't be directly tied to the post via link, but it shouldn't matter too much I don't think.
Sorry for the dissapearing act! I'll have something up next few days though likely without formatting, due to typing slowly on the phone (and being a lowkey technophobe.)
sorry for dissapearing over the christmas period everyone. Is anyone still interested in continuing? I entirely understand if not, I'm the one who dropped the ball here.
That's everyone except @Cao the Exiled accounted for thus far! I'm pretty sure we had left off with everyone having posted something and just sorta waiting for a DM post.
