Hit a critical with the D&D Roller for iPhone
Last Friday night was spent in my apartment (as it is once every month) tracking HP and rolling dice-- my D&D group came over to continue fighting our way through our latest campaign. And while we all have plenty of real dice to roll (kept in official Gen Con dice pouches, natch), sometimes you don't have your dice around, but you just need to roll a d20 anyway. For those times, there's D&D Roller, a dice roller for the iPhone.Yup, just plug in how many of each die you want to roll (remember, to roll up ability scores, you roll 4d6 and ignore the lowest roll), and then hit "Roll," and you can see each die rolled as well as all the totals down the line. You'll never have to wonder how much damage you did against that Mind Flayer ever again!
D&D Roller: Just in case your iPhone was making you look a little too cool.

I push the Red button that says "end call".

LOL. Nothing says a platform has arrived like a d20 simulator, unless it's a version of Breakout.

What does D&D stand for? Desperate and Dateless?

Ha ha ha. That's great. I suppose it works on the iPhone just the same way it works on a regular Mac?
This is just one of many reasons why I want an iPhone... To play Dungeons & Dragons in a geekish way... Because playing D&D is just nerdy, not geeky. ;)
BTW, I DM a friday night game- but then, who doesn't? LOL
And as my signature suggests, I often play Rogues- mostly Half-Elves...

This may be the only post in a long line of iPhone posts that I've found amusing/useful. More stuff like this is neat!
