No worries, here's an App for you and your friends to still play and have fun! Everyone at your table opens the app, joins the same room with a 5-character code, and rolls dice together. Every roll appears instantly on every player's device with the raw roll, the modifier, the total, a tier call (Natural 1, Low, Medium, High, or Max Roll), and a short flavor line from a bank of witty one-liners. FEATURES • d4, d6, d8, d10, and d20 with a tumbling roll animation • Stat modifiers (STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA) applied with one tap • Live shared roll log — see everyone's rolls at your table without refreshing • Party roster with a DM mode that hides the DM's modifiers from other players • Kid friendly sayings per tier, saved for the whole table • Suggested fantasy character names, biased by class • Regenerated flavor lines when you want a fresh voice • Haptic feedback on every roll, with distinct patterns for critical hits and critical fails • Screen stays awake during a session so your phone doesn't sleep between turns • Dark tavern theme designed for dim lighting at the table • No accounts, no sign-up, no tracking — just a room code Built for phones at the table on game night.
