🎲 My Rollmate - Cinematic Roll Companion!

Greetings, adventurers and Game Masters! Get ready for a visual candy at your virtual gaming table.

We are absolutely thrilled to present My Rollmate – your future companion for virtually every roll in Foundry VTT!

Currently optimized for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition and Pathfinder Second Edition, this mod is far more than just a dice window. It is a powerful, atmospheric, all-encompassing tool to manage group checks, roll initiative, pick random tokens, and experience it all with real 3D WebGL dice, immersive sound effects, and particle animations! The base version of My Rollmate contains all the power you need to captivate your players.

Buckle up, here is everything you need to know to get started!

🚀 Getting Started

After installing and activating the module, a stylish little dice icon will appear on your screen (the launcher). You can grab it and drag it wherever it best fits your interface. A single click, and your new companion awakens!

When you open the window, you can click the gear icon to open the settings. Here you can easily customize the language (from English and German all the way to Japanese!), adjust the audio volume, and tweak the 3D engine's performance to match your PC's capabilities.

📋 The Main Menu

The main menu offers three mighty main categories:

1. Skill Checks: Handle all rolls for skills, saving throws, and flat checks.

2. Initiative (Combat Preparation): All participants roll their initiative simultaneously—the direct path to the combat tracker.

3. Wheel of Fortune (Cards of Destiny): Need to pick a target at random? Let the cards decide!

⚔️ Skill Rolls & Checks 

1. Gather the Party

No matter what roll you're starting, you first decide who participates! By default, all player characters are pre-selected. Want to add someone else? Simply Drag & Drop the Actor into the large "+" zone, or select tokens directly on the map and click "Gather Party!" or "Gather All"!

2. The Roll Setup

Now it gets tactical. You have three main categories to choose from: Skills, Saving Throws, and Flat Checks. Want the whole party to jump over a chasm? Choose "Acrobatics" at the top under Global Skill, and it will automatically apply to everyone. But Rollmate is flexible: You can individually override this for each character! The Rogue rolls Acrobatics, while the Barbarian uses Athletics. All in a single group check!

3. Difficulty (DC) & Secrecy

You can type in the DC (Difficulty Class) manually. Playing PF2e? Use the Level-Based DC button, and Rollmate will calculate the difficulty according to the official rules based on character level! Use the DC Adjustment to quickly make the check easier or harder. Playing DnD5? Then you can determine if the roll is under Advantage or Disadvantage ans also use the official DC Rules!

Need secret rolls?

• Pass / Fail: Your players only see a green checkmark ✔ or a red cross ✖ when they roll. The actual numbers remain hidden. Only you, as the GM, see the exact result!

• Hidden: Players see nothing but dancing question marks. The outcome is strictly for the GM's eyes.

🎲 The Roll Screen 

Click "Roll it!" and your screen transforms into a stage. Here, players see their character cards. The brilliant part: Players only see their own character in color, the rest are grayed out until it's their turn to roll.

Hover over your card, and it reacts. One click – and real 3D WebGL dice drop physically accurately onto your interface!

Once the die settles, the result hits the table:

• 🌟 Critical Success (Nat 20): A golden glow, sparkling particles, triumphant sound effects, and the card vibrates with energy! That's the good stuff.

• 💀 Critical Failure (Nat 1): Color drains from the card, drops of blood fall, mystical skulls rise, and a sinister sound plays. That hurt!

Does a player want to spend a Hero Point (PF2e) or Inspiration (D&D5e)? Just click the Re-Roll Icon (the little circling arrows); the old roll explodes into particles, and they can roll again!

Once everything is done, the GM clicks Finish & Resolve, and the complete, neatly formatted results are posted directly to the Foundry chat.

⚡ Combat Preparation and Initiative

Say goodbye to clunky combat starts! The setup works just like Skill Checks, except everyone rolls their initiative at the end.

The result isn't just functional; it's a show! Depending on how high the roll is, the character card gets colored glowing effects and wind animations (Tier 1 through Tier 5). High rolls feel incredibly powerful, while mercilessly bad rolls are visually "punished".

Seamless Integration: When the GM clicks "Start Combat," all results are automatically sorted into the correct order and sent straight to the Foundry Combat Tracker! Let the battle begin! GM Secret: Combatants hidden from the players get a grey eye icon on their portrait. Players won't see them in the Rollmate initiative round, but you maintain full control.

🎡 Cards of Destiny

Need a random target for an attack? Why does it always have to be the Wizard?! Let fate decide!

Select the participants and click "Shuffle". The character cards levitate (accompanied by a magical levitation sound), flip face-down, and shuffle at breakneck speed. When they land, a nerve-wracking heartbeat sound thumps in the background.

The GM clicks on a card—the heartbeat stops, a reveal sound triggers, and the "lucky" winner is unveiled with a teal glow! May the slime monster show mercy...

🎨 UPGRADE TO THE DEFINITIVE MODULE

In the main menu, you'll find the My Artist button as part of the Tier 2 SILVER PATREON. This is your personal studio! Rollmate doesn't just have to look the way it does out of the box. You can tailor it to fit your campaign's vibe:

• Board Design: Choose between the floating Immersive Mode (a real 3D table overlay) or the practical Classic Mode.

• Wallpapers: Whether it's Travellers Quest, The Undead, Stone, or Oculus – pick the perfect artwork and adjust brightness and transparency via sliders.

• Colors & Fonts: Customize hover colors, particle colors, and window frames. Set your text to a dark Pirata One or an elegant Cinzel font.

• Dice Materials: Standard plastic is a thing of the past! Choose whether your 3D dice should be made of Stone, Coal, or Wood! (Use the "Test Roll" button directly in the menu to check out your design).

🔮 The Future of Rollmate & How YOU Can Help!

It would be an absolute honor for me if you made Rollmate a staple at your own gaming tables. And with your support, there will be so much more to come in the future! The roadmap is already packed:

• 🎵 Sound Effects: Even more immersive audio options to bring your rolls to life.

• 🖼️ Custom Designs & Themes: Whether Sci-Fi, Steampunk, Shadowrun, or Undead – more skins for the UI! (You already get new cards, dice, and designs every month!).

• 🛠️ Tweaks & Quality of Life: Continuously polishing the module to make it as smooth as possible.

• ✨ Brand New Features: Expanding what Rollmate can do to elevate your game. Quick Rolls, Special Macros for your favourite rolls and many more in the works!

I am working incredibly hard on this, and I even have other exciting mods already in the works! I'm counting on you!
