Rolling dice is rather simple...


type in the amount and the type of dice you want to roll in the manual section, type in a reason why you are rolling it.. and click roll.

To make it easier, some players paste the results as a pvt thread to the GM in their post. And then descriptively explain to the rest of the world their results.

In Alien, there are normal dice and stress dice..
I will offer two suggestions on how we can manage the roller.

The roller can be done separately .. first set of dice is the skill, stating the reason why it was rolled. Then roll again with the number of stress dice.

For example.

13:30, Today: MU-TH-UR rolled 12 using 5d6 with rolls of 2,1,1,6,2.  Skill dice example
13:32, Today: MU-TH-UR rolled 19 using 5d6 with rolls of 3,4,2,6,4.  Stress dice example

So no ones on the stress dice, and 2 6s combined.

In the first scene, I asked the players to make a air supply roll of 5d6.. so the result in the chat log should look something like this.
13:40, Today: MU-TH-UR rolled 22 using 5d6 with rolls of 2,6,5,4,5.  Air supply roll example. So no loss of air supply.. which is good, to bad it is just an example!!

Or we can do it this way, and combined all the dice together.
Here is used the command 5d6+3d6 in the roller, and this is what I got below.
13:34, Today: MU-TH-UR rolled 34 using 5d6+3d6 with rolls of 6,3,2,3,4,6,5,5.  Skill and stress dice.
The way the roller works, is the first 5 results are the skill dice, the last 3 are the stress dice results.

Personally, I prefer if we use the second option, as it reduces the amount of separate rolls.

So, the first group of dice are always skill dice, the next set of dice are stress dice.
(# of skill dice)+(# of stress dice)

I hope that makes sense?
