DiceCloud Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• [online] [5e] [15+] [Fridays, 5 PM CEST +2] Shadows of the Abyss

  We will communicate and roll the dice through Discord, but I will need you to make your character sheet on either DnD Beyond,DiceCloud v1 or DiceCloud v2, since we will use Avrae for rolls to make it easier. All players will have a private channel for notes that only they will be able to see. Source: 11 months ago

• Do you know any website for characther sheets like dnd beyond, but it supports homebrew

  We've really liked Dicecloud. https://v1.dicecloud.com/ is the link to the original which requires more set up but is more flexible. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anyone else frustrated with the lack of quality character sheet apps?

  It's got a learning curve because it's super customizable even for other non DND rpgs, but it does DND the best in my experience, but I love v1.dicecloud.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is V1 staying around?

  I had a play alarmedley message me to say her character had disappeared. No worries, turns out the main site link now leads to V2, not V1, which has it's own link at https://v1.dicecloud.com/ - but it does have me worried that my party's character's are jeopardised long-term, especially as we have no desire to transfer to the new version.

• DiceCloud Version 2 is out now. DiceCloud is an open source fully automated character engine with dice rolling, Discord integration, and a whole lot more.

  Version 1 will stay up indefinitely at https://v1.dicecloud.com, you can find your old characters there. Source: over 1 year ago

• "First Time DM" and Other Short Questions Megathread

  Aside from that, I know of Dicecloud and Myth Weavers. You could also have your players use a form-fillable PDF and upload their character sheets as a file to a dedicated text channel in your Discord server between every session, if that's easier. Source: almost 2 years ago

• [Tools] What are your favorite online character sheet tools?

  DiceCloud is not too bad. You can create an unlimited amount of Characters and share them with your players/DM. The Downside is, you have to model every feature/spell yourself and as far as I know it has no Foundry integration. Source: about 2 years ago

• Editable Character Sheets Online?

  Try dicecloud.com free, completely customizable and you can put anything in there without needing the books. It's a bit unwieldy to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it's not bad. Source: about 2 years ago

• Scalable text across devices

  If you're looking for a solution and don't care about making it yourself, digital character sheets exist and can do some pretty awesome stuff automatically. I was going to do the same thing you are until I found Dicecloud. I can't imagine going back to paper now. Dndbeyond has a more traditional-looking character sheet but with a couple more bells and whistles. I might use that if my character wasn't already in... Source: over 2 years ago

• Life cleric extra healing?

  So first off, is this v1 (dicecloud.com) or v2 (beta.dicecloud.com). But assuming you are working with v1, there isn't really a good way to address this. Since there is no way for the system to know what level you are casting at in v1 it cant do out the math for you. Now if you use Avrae when playing I am less familiar with that but I would believe that you could use an alias in Avrae to make it do the math for... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Besides D&D Beyond, what do you use for digital character sheets?

  Dicecloud is the best option I've found for automation and ease of use at the table, though it does take a fair bit of setup since there's very little in the way of preset materials to use. It even has integration with the popular Avrae discord bot if you prefer. It's free to use, and the beta V2 is $5/mo on Patreon and is a total rewrite with a lot more flexibility and options, plus the ability for users to... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Has any work been done with systems built around a companion app or other digital tool? (Not necessarily a full VTT, maybe a dndbeyond-esque tracker). What are your thoughts on the concept?

  I built dicecloud.com, and am working on the next version of it beta.dicecloud.com, which is at its core a general purpose d20 engine tailored to D&D 5e, but I'm also using it to slowly build out my own app-first TTRPG. Source: about 3 years ago
