Hello all! I am running a game online on roll 20 and the PCs are about to arrive in a gritty pirate town. I would love to include a rigged dice game where the pirates are trying to cheat them. But because we are playing online I can’t think of a way to run it (I don’t think roll 20 allows fake dice rolls)
any suggestions would be appreciated!
I want to game to be simple and most of the fun come from the players using skills to discover they are being cheated, or cheat the pirates in return.
I turned Liar's Dice into a free app with an option to give your players (and npc's) access to cheats so you can play a properly crooked game of Liar's Dice! https://haa-gg.github.io/Liars-Dice/
It's a work in progress so let me know if you think of improvements
Note: to turn on the cheats, start a new table, go to settings and turn on "Honor System Cheats"
Dice is a tool. Do not play the actual mini game, use the rules for tool use. give the Pirates expertise in the tool, give them advantage on the d20 roll if they succeed in a Sleight of Hand check. This is exactly why gaming sets exist as tools.

Maybe buy magic dice, with 6s on all sides?
