Dice Goblin is a tool for the statistical analysis of attacks in tabletop wargames. The program simulates a large number of attempts at rolling a given number of dice, applies one or multiple modifiers common in tabletop wargames, and reports the average "damage" inflicted in the simulation. Conveniently, the modifiers are selected by the user in several simple, consecutive steps. Unusually among similar apps, a graph with the distribution of "damage" is also shown, allowing the user to see not only the average result, but also the probability spread. Each simulation can be stored in the app's archive and visually compared with other simulations. The application offers a free trial for seven days.

With "TDE Chances" you can calculate the success probability for any given skill check for the German role-playing game "The Dark Eye". Especially for new players it is often difficult to gauge how likely their character will succeed or fail a skill check. This is quite understandable, as the game mechanics lead to a rather odd probability calculation. "TDE Chances" allows you to quickly enter your character's stats and see how certain your victory (or doom!) will be. Of course this works also for spell checks and checks with modifiers, you just enter your spell level or the modified skill. By the way, the allowed range of values covers every possible outcome, from "as sure as can be" to "you better have written your last will". Everything above or below the maximum and minimum values will not change the result. The app is designed to be as unobtrusive and minimalistic as possible so it can be used right at the gaming table without disturbing the flow. And for the old school gamers who still want to use their beloved older rule editions it offers switching to earlier game mechanics, too. DAS SCHWARZE AUGE, AVENTURIEN, DERE, MYRANOR, THARUN, UTHURIA, RIESLAND and THE DARK EYE are registered trademarks of Ulisses Spiele GmbH, Waldems.
