Complete Guide to Dice Rolling

What is a Dice Roller?

A dice roller is a tool that simulates rolling dice, generating random numbers just like physical dice would. Our virtual dice roller supports multiple dice types commonly used in tabletop games, role-playing games (RPGs), and board games.

You can roll multiple dice at once and choose from various dice types: D4 (4-sided), D6 (6-sided), D8 (8-sided), D12 (12-sided), D20 (20-sided), and D100 (100-sided). Perfect for D&D, board games, or any game requiring dice rolls.

How to Use Our Dice Roller

Select the number of dice you want to roll (1-20 dice)
Choose the dice type from the dropdown (D4, D6, D8, D12, D20, or D100)
Click the "Roll" button to roll all selected dice
View individual die results and the total sum
Roll again as many times as needed for your game

Example: Rolling 2d6 means rolling two 6-sided dice. You might get results like [4, 6] with a total of 10.

Understanding Dice Notation

Dice notation is a standard way to describe dice rolls. The format is: XdY, where:

X = Number of dice to roll
d = "dice" or "die"
Y = Number of sides on each die

Common Examples:

1d6: Roll one 6-sided die (standard die)
2d6: Roll two 6-sided dice (common in board games)
1d20: Roll one 20-sided die (standard in D&D)
3d8: Roll three 8-sided dice
