72/100

Roll 20 is a simple but effective digital dice roller that is clearly made by people who play tabletop RPGs. It’s not a 'game' in the traditional sense, but it’s an essential companion for any D&D or Pathfinder session. The 3D dice physics are surprisingly satisfying, giving that heavy 'clunk' sound when you roll a natural 20.

The app shines in its ability to handle complex macros. Instead of doing the math for your high-level Rogue's sneak attack, you can set up a single button that rolls the d20 and the 5d6 simultaneously. It’s clean, lightweight, and does exactly what it says on the tin. While it’s fairly basic, it’s one of the most reliable and user-friendly dice rollers on the App Store.

Dinsun Review

As a man who still remembers carrying three-ring binders of character sheets, I see the utility here. Having your 5E stats on your phone is convenient. The dice roller is reliable and the sync with the main website is a nice touch for remote groups.

But here’s the rub: it’s only for 5E. If you play Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, or any other system, this app is useless. It also lacks the ability to actually *edit* your character, which feels like a major oversight. You’re forced back to the website for any real changes. It’s a decent companion, but it feels like a work-in-progress that’s been 'in progress' for far too long.

Physics Interaction

You can shake your phone to rattle the dice in the virtual tray, or use a flicking motion on the screen to launch them. The harder you flick, the more the dice will bounce, just like on a real table.
