Share Your Dice Rolls! (Digital Dice Open Beta)

Hey Folks,

Today is a big day for our team. We're releasing the first production test of our Game Log which will allow you all to share your dice rolls with other players in your campaign!

This is part of our Digital Dice Open Beta and is now available to all users! Everyone will have access to test it out and give us feedback.

How-to Guide

If you'd like to try it out, make sure your character is in a campaign. If you don't have a campaign, you can create one and add your characters to it to test it out yourself.

Once you have a character in a campaign, you'll see the campaign listed in the top right of the character sheet like always as well as a new button that will open the Game Log.

Pro Tip: To test the game log by yourself, you can add multiple of your own characters to a single campaign, open those characters in different browser windows and watch one character's rolls display the results on the other character's Game Log.

Game Log Button

With the Game Log open, you will see new rolls from other characters show up at the bottom of the Game Log. If you don't have the Game Log open when another character makes a roll, a notification will pop up to let you know.

Game Log Notification

If you prefer to keep the side panel open to always see the roll results of other players, you can use the buttons at the top of the panel to lock the side panel open and even nest it side-by-side in with the character sheet. Play around with what works best for you.

The Game Log

The Game Log also lets you see the history of your rolls and all other rolls from characters in the campaign! To see rolls in the past, scroll up into the history of the Game Log. When you find the roll you're looking for in the past, you can open it by clicking the result.

Also, at the bottom of the roll result, you'll see the actual die that was used with its result. If multiple dice were rolled, you can click that die in the bottom left of the roll result and see each die and its results. You can also get a better view of the dice set that was used for the roll. Clicking the"View Dice Set" will take you to the marketplace page where you can zoom in/out and rotate the dice set to see better details of the dice set itself.

The Game Log around D&D Beyond

You'll also notice the Game Log in other places around the site. The campaign page itself now has a slide-out panel that houses the Game Log for that campaign. You will also see the Game Log in the Combat Tracker for encounters that have linked a campaign in the Encounter Builder. On those pages, the Game Log works the same as it does on the character sheet.

The Future of the Game Log

Sharing dice results is just the start. Keep an eye out for new features on the Game Log.

Here's a list of things we have planned right away, in no particular order.

  • The ability to only share with the DM for the campaign
  • The ability to not share with the group
  • Game Log on the mobile app
  • Game Log and Avrae sync
  • Rolling on Monster Stat Blocks in the Combat Tracker
