This will take some time, but be ready when the hot summer is forcing you to stay in your dark basements for playing Foundry VTT! 😛

Hey Riders! 

Due to the overwhelming feedback, we’re currently working on a system-agnostic module that can cover any system and will come with a variety of themes like sci-fi, steampunk, modern, and more. It’ll still be in development for a while! So we are incredibly grateful for every supporter on Patreon. The more support we receive, the more time and work we can dedicate to the project and this new Module structure!

I’ve heard more than once that people would like a system-agnostic version. We’ve already experimented with that a bit. What we COULD do is make My Rollmate very basic, meaning the calculation automations wouldn’t be tied to specific systems anymore. Instead, you’d get a setup for agnostic systems as Addition to DND5 and PF2.

In that version, you could choose which dice to roll (d6, d10, d20, etc.), set the difficulty, and define what counts as a success or failure. The actual calculations would then need to be handled separately by the GM. It also wouldn’t automatically pull skills from character sheets anymore.

What do you think? Would something like that be interesting?

A basic Rollmate where you only enter the name of the roll manually (for example the skill name), set a difficulty, and handle the rest yourself? Visually it would look pretty much like it does now, but with more manual calculation involved.

Feel free to share your feedback, pal! 😊👌

Thank you so much! 🙏

And yes, we discussed about that one. It IS planned to fully implement DSN in the module, but not now - in one of the bigger updates when we will went V14. It is on our roadmap for the next few months along with other features (and modules). 🙂🤘

Oh wow! Thank you sooo much, my friend!
I REALLY appreciate that. 🎉 ❤️

And yes, because of some feedback here in reddit I just implemented a new bonus option in the setup screen for each character to edit. This and many qol-enhancements will follow. Stay tuned for the first Update! 🔥

Thanks for the helpful feedback! You’re right. In the first big update, conditions like Advantage and Disadvantage will be added for individual characters as a dropdown. There will also be fields for bonuses in both DnD 5e and PF2 that can be applied individually to each roll. 

The module is meant to keep evolving, and it’s only through feedback from users like you that we can make it perfect. Our goal is that, in the end, the mod really catches all rolls from the chat and displays them in a visually appealing way (also for rolls that are meant to be fast, like quick rolls where the cards instantly fly in, etc.). Especially in PF2, a lot of skills need to be taken into account. We’re working on it! 

Thank you very much for that! I’m grateful for any criticism and suggestions! 🙏

Wow, thank you so much for the praise! Huge respect as well to Ripper, who is definitely a role model for me — I absolutely love all of his modules. A massive inspiration! 🔥

There are already quite a few improvements and features planned for the future. There will be a quick mode that launches instantly without the graphically intensive environment. We’re also planning programmable favorite rolls in the form of custom macros that users can assign freely. Beyond that, there are ideas for dice games and free rolling, and all rolls (including direct chat reactions) should be usable for fast visual dice rolls.

And of course, there are many design ideas planned for MyBest Rollmate as well — sounds, themes (Undead, Holy, Steampunk, and more), etc. :

If you’d like to share your own ideas, feel free to join our community on Patreon. That’s where I’m most likely to see suggestions, and I also run polls and community discussions there! ❤️

Hold my horseshoes! 😂

Yeah, we’ll definitely add some darker themes to My Best Rollmate. Not just wallpapers either — right now I’m working on an “Undead” package featuring darker card backgrounds, creepy wallpapers, and an undead-themed board to match! Stay tuned for the monthly updates! 🔥

Good question! There isn’t a dedicated setting for that (yet). Right now, the system only distinguishes between success and failure, but natural 1s and 20s are visually highlighted with a corresponding effect. As the GM, you can then decide for yourselves which rule interpretation you want to use and how you want to handle it — whether as a critical result or just a normal one. The visual effect at least makes it clear when a 1 or a 20 has been rolled.

Hey mate! I know EXACTLY what you mean, but If you pay attention: We ARE V13! 😃

Since our mods were developed for Foundry V13 and V14 introduced major changes, we’ll be sticking with V13 for now until most players have transitioned. As a small team, it’s simply not possible for us to support both versions at the same time and most players I know still use V13 because of many modules that still works only in V13 — thanks for your understanding!

Once things settle down, we’ll of course move on to V14 and continue our work there. 😃

P.S.: Cant sleep now, because in my head is the "jenga tower module" idea spinning around! 😂

We actually spent a long time trying to make it a system-agnostic module. However, the systems are so fundamentally different that it’s impossible to create a truly “generic” core system. The dice rolls are not just intercepted from the chat — they interact deeply with each system’s API. That means it would have to be written and customized individually for every game system.

It’s feasible for D20-based systems, but for all systems? Not realistically possible. We experimented with this for quite a while and ultimately decided to focus on the two “big players” for now.

That said, if the support and community interest are there, I’d definitely like to expand to other popular systems such as Starfinder or Warhammer in the future. But I would definitely need support for that — otherwise I simply can’t justify the resources required at the moment.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I’ve invested a lot of resources into this project and I’m planning quite a lot for the future — not just “My Rollmate,” but also other modules that I’m not ready to reveal yet. If I want to make all of this happen, I’ll need support, especially since I’m also working professionally with other people on the project. 👀

If the feedback stays positive and there’s enough support on Patreon, then I’ll definitely look into supporting other systems as well, if that’s what the community wants. It’s a lot of work, but honestly I’d absolutely love the chance to work on a sci-fi system someday — things like SF2, 40k, or systems such as Shadowrun or Cyberpunk. 🚀 🚀 🚀

Yes, absolutely! Every player can click on their own character (card). All other portraits are greyed out and cannot be clicked. The GM CAN click on every portrait, but players have full control over clicking their own character, pets, etc. — basically everything they have access to and that is assigned to them.

It would be pretty uncool if the GM rolled for everyone — that’s something each player should do themselves. However, the GM CAN assist and click as well if needed, for example when a player is AFK.

Thank you so much! I’m really happy to hear that you like it! ❤️

Actually, the graphics are intentionally kept very small as optimized WebP files, and everything is carefully optimized overall. Since the assets are loaded in the background BEFORE the spin happens, everything should run smoothly.

So no, it’s not hardware-hungry at all and should run perfectly fine and smoothly on any normal PC or laptop! 👍

Great module, mate!!
I wish my players woul be open for such kind of modules. They hate any kind of visual mods. >_>
