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. Features: - Simple interface - Quick & easy selection of the amount of dice to roll - Enable "Rule of Six", e.g. for rolls using Edge - Shows Glitches and Critical Glitches - Toggle between SR5/SR6 and SR4 rules (i.e. in SR5/SR6 a glitch occurs if MORE than half the dice you rolled show a one; in SR4 a Glitch occurs if HALF OR MORE of the dice rolled come up as 1s) - Support for Anarchy 2.0 with risk dice, risk reduction and advantage/disadvantage rolls - Dice-rolling sounds (Optional) - Automatically sort rolled dice from highest to lowest (Optional)
