## What is SchattenWurf for Shadowrun?

SchattenWurf is a dice rolling app for use with the Shadowrun tabletop RPG (4th/5th/6th Edition + Anarchy 2.0). Roll up to 99 dice and automatically count the rolled hits. Also supports Glitches, "Rule of Six" (for Edge rolls) as well as Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0 dice mechanics (advantage/disadvantage, risk dice, risk reduction).

The SchattenWurf app does not need an internet connection and is completely ad free! This is an app developed as a passion project for my fellow Shadowrun players. If you find the app helpful please spread the word and feel free to contact me (see Credits Screen in the app for e-mail address).

Note: This is not a standalone game app! It is a utility app intended to be used together with the Shadowrun tabletop roleplaying game.

### 5/5 — Best dice roller for shadowrun

*2021-07-19, version 2.4.0*

I’ve tried many apps for dice rolling but this is by far the best, straight to the point, no visual clutter, fast entry, calculate the glitch and have options for edge rolls as well.

The only thing missing is an option for an extended roll.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2021-02-26*

I gave this app 5 stars because, while it is no-frills, it does what it is meant to do well, and can be used with ease.

The only thing feature I would add in a cuter patch is the spending of Edge, specifically: the re-roll all 6’s from “Pushing the Limits” and the reroll all non-hits from “Second Chance”.

### 5/5 — Very impressive!

*2020-12-29*

Solid app, quick and easy to use!  Now, can you make an app to roll up a random npc for me when I need stats on the fly?  Love your work!

### 5/5 — Does what it should!

*2020-06-23, version 1.0.0*

Works simply and effectively. The interface has no unnecessary frills. It does what it says it does - it rolls dice and calculates your hits for Shadowrun. It even alerts you when you glitch.
