    Ooof sorry about that load time. I had been monitoring the site for most of the day and it seemed to be holding up pretty well. It was probably under a fair bit of load because of …

    Thanks for checking it out and for the feedback! Definitely agreed that map creation would be nice - something I'd like to get to.

    For us, we'd definitely prefer to play in person if we could. But like you mentioned, geography can be a real restriction. The times we have managed to play in person have been gre…

    Wow, great feedback. Thanks! Someone else suggested something similar about the main menu and the right sidebar. I can't quite picture what that would look like but I'll definitely…

    Thanks for taking a look! So one of my goals with Diceright was to make it as welcoming as possible to new players (not really an easy task given how complex DnD is). To that end, …

    Thats a really interesting question. When I first started playing DnD the thing I loved the most was the combat. Loved the mechanics and loved that it was basically a big complex b…

    Yeah, you make a good point. Definitely something I've thought about. When I started working on Diceright, DnD Beyond hadn't even been acquired by Wizards yet, so a lot has changed…

    Totally makes sense - different groups are different and whatever works for your group, works. With Diceright (and Im sure with other VTTs), my goal was to help streamline certain …

    Yeah, DnD is a weird one and it's hard to describe because it's really not like much else. I like to say it's one part shared storytelling and one part complex board game, but I do…

    Great question. So far, I've just been doing this myself as a side project so I haven't spent much time thinking through how I would or could monetize it (open to suggestions on th…

    Hey yeah, totally sensible question - wish I had a better answer. Unfortunately there isn't a great way to transfer an ongoing campaign. That's one of the main issues with getting …

    Hmmm yeah that's a good point. The site does work pretty well on mobile but I didn't make any mobile videos. I'll put that on my todo list. Thanks for the feedback! And if you do g…

    Thanks! Man, so many things. I think maybe the hardest thing was really getting into the weeds of all the class/race features and modeling them all in a way that made sense to the …

    In defense of Cucumber, I've been a rails developer for more than 2 years and I still find it easier to read English than Ruby. I think the extra layer of abstraction is well worth…
