Comments on: Shadowrun Dice Roller http://juhani.naskali.net/programming/shadowrun-dice-roller Me, myself and I Fri, 30 Jul 2010 09:51:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Jason Broadley http://juhani.naskali.net/programming/shadowrun-dice-roller#comment-1166 Jason Broadley Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:28:32 +0000 http://juhani.naskali.net/wp/programming/shadowrun-dice-roller#comment-1166 This is great! I also like Xerxos' idea of adding threshold and extended test capabilities, but I don't mind the summing and changeable TN (just keep the default TN at 5 and we're good). Beyond that, all you need is an alternate "compact" version for smartphone users and it would be perfect! (I have an iPhone, and this die roller would be real handy at our SR4 game, but the current interface is a bit difficult to use on the iPhone's tiny touchscreen.) Thanks for making this.

The number of hits is compared to a pre-determined amount (or Threshold) set by the GM for the roll.
