Roll beautifully rendered 3D dice that tumble, bounce, and settle with real physics โ the closest thing to real dice in your pocket. Dice Rune is built for tabletop RPG and board game players who want their rolls to feel real. Every die is a true 3D object with rounded fillet edges and engraved pips and numbers, thrown into a 3D arena with an orbiting camera, directional shadows, and satisfying collision sounds. Then it gets out of your way so you can play. REAL 3D PHYSICS - Dice are thrown forward into an open arena and tumble until they settle - Rounded, engraved meshes โ not flat textures - Orbiting camera, directional shadows, and impact sounds - Pan, pinch to zoom, and rotate the view with gestures DICE NOTATION - Type rolls the way you say them: 3d6+2, 2d20kh1, 4d6 - Keep highest / keep lowest for advantage and disadvantage - Add or subtract modifiers inline EVERY DIE YOU NEED - Standard polyhedral set: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d100 - Special dice: d100 (rolled as real tens + units) and dF (Fudge / Fate plus-minus) MIXED POOLS & STATS - Roll different dice together in one throw - Clear results with totals and per-type breakdowns REROLL & EXPLODING - Reroll or explode dice, with each type color-coded so you always see what happened (reroll in purple, exploding in orange) PRESETS & FOLDERS - Save your go-to rolls as presets - Organize presets into folders, one per campaign or game night SKINS & MATERIALS - Choose dice skins and material tints - Engraved pips and numbers on every face ROLL HISTORY - Look back at what you rolled DICE RUNE PRO (OPTIONAL) The full app works free, and the core โ single-type d4 to d100 rolls plus notation โ is always free, with no catch.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aokun's Game Workshop at none against Dice Rune's 3. Dice Rune's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
