Hey all! So, I know a guy who runs a dice rolling website, and I got him to add EotE to it. Its simple, but hopefully you can all get some use out of it!

www.orokos.com

Format for rolling for EotE is as follows: XeY where X = the number of dice, and Y equals the first letter of the type of die, so A for Ability, P for Proficiency, so on and so forth.

Example: 3eA+1eP+3eD+2eS would roll 3 Ability, 1 Proficiency, 3 Difficulty, and 2 Setback.

It generates a number that represents the net number of Successes, so, if there's a positive number, you succeeded, if its a negative number, you didn't. Have to count Advantages/Threats/Triumph/Despair on your own though. However the Success/Fail aspect of Triumph/Despair IS already factored into the success count.

You can assign a character name and a Campaign name, and then the site will track all the rolls by campaign and character, so no ability to cheat either, and easy access to all past rolls.

Hope you guys enjoy and get some use out of it!

Awesome! Nice one, and thanks to your friend!

You can tell your friend that the toolbar at the top (I assume it's a toolbar) doesn't seem to work in Opera 12.02.

Make an account? Really?

Nah, I do not really need a whole other site with Logins that my lunatic players will forget passwords too anyway. I think I will stick with the Dice Roller we are building out for MapTools.

Aye, any reason you need to make an account just to use the dice?

Orokos was made specifically to aid PBP format games being played on forums IIRC. The account tracks the roll history of a player by character/campaign to keep everybody honest.

Okay, fair enough. He created it, so it really is his choice. I have a hard enough time getting half my players all connected up on skype sometimes… let alone MapTools. I just do not need anything else to assist in confusion haha.

Is there a reason he can't provide both? I mean, have the dice roller open so anyone can use it without needing an account, and then have a option to use an account to keep track of rolls.
