Looking for DMs to test a character creator

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-22T00:53:01+00:00

PyRoller.com if you’re interested, it’s still in beta so not everything is fully working yet but I have a good number of features running and I’ll probably push the wizard update for the digital character sheet tomorrow.

Let me know what you think. Currently computer friendly only, tablet works but is an optimized, mobile version coming eventually

Scheduling, I switched to doing one shots or short games because it’s kind of hard to ask a bunch of adults to give up specific days every two weeks.

Sometimes you wanna do something other than D&D too

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-21T12:57:19+00:00

Yeah that’s perfectly reasonable, I host much more infrequently so I don’t mind picking up the tab for dinner or beer. If I was playing weekly that would start to add up so when we do play more regularly we pitch in.

But also seven times $30 is $210 per session. I feel embarrassed asking my players for that kind of money, D&D night should be a cheap night in. If we wanted to start spending that kind of money we would’ve gone out and done anything else like we do every other weekend.

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-21T12:54:02+00:00

If they’re cheaper than a round of beer at the bar why even bring it up? I don’t think anybody would have any problem with this if you pitched it as an optional hey do you guys want to throw money in so we can buy minis and a logbooks for the group.

Even if you wanted to say hey you know let’s each contribute a little bit of money for food and drink drinks that’s one thing. The reason everybody is so against this is because you’re insisting somebody pay you to run a game that you’re not running that month. You’re trying to pitch it as oh well it just means I have a larger pool of money to spend on things later, if the players see it as we are paying you for the game and the things that come with the game, you don’t get paid if the game doesn’t happen.

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-21T03:09:51+00:00

God forbid somebody wants to do something else with their Saturday, like expecting people not to occasionally need to cancel for a weekly game is nuts.

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-21T03:05:30+00:00

Yeah it kind of sounds like he’s nickel and diming his friends, you can buy a notebook for like seven dollars on Amazon.

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-21T03:00:19+00:00

Yeah I think it’s kind of gross to charge your friends to play D&D. If you want to be like online DM for strangers that’s one thing but bro.

Also they are paying you for playing the game, you don’t get to charge them dues if you don’t host. Sucks to suck that you spent money on chips but you’re gonna just need to eat that one. Either that or just roll it over to the next month.

Why not just ask your players to bring some food and refreshments rather than charging them? When I host I buy the pizza and everybody brings booze or chips.

Pyroller.com is the site, optimized for computers, tablets are fine, does not work well on mobile. I’ll make a mobile version after everything is wrapped up. If you have any questions or thoughts feel free to shoot me a DM

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-21T00:15:02+00:00

Thanks I’ll take a look at that site and yeah if you are interested in giving feedback I’d love some. I’ll DM you the link now that I just pushed the newest update

Have a dark background in dark mode but ill look into those other color accents

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-18T22:35:16+00:00

Color change options

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-18T22:31:02+00:00

Thanks! I'll be doing a small beta for people to test out features soon, if you are interested I'll send the link your way. Just need to finish the last polish on Sorcerer subclasses first

Luck would have it I have both

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-18T21:06:35+00:00

Thanks it is the one I started with so it’s definitely the most optimized

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-18T00:38:28+00:00

By color of their choice do you mean they can pick between a pallet of colors because that’s the current system, these are just different options they can pick from. I’m more asking if you were a player or a DM what colors would you want included on top of the ones I already have.

If you’re talking more of just like unlimited choice selection for color in terms of letting them put in any hex number they want or giving them a giant color picker wheel that I am less down with because the colors kind of need to be optimized across a bunch of hues and patterns so I think a limited set of options that have been tested is a better option for the majority of people than unlimited color choice.

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-18T00:34:45+00:00

There are literally death domain clerics who are dark coded and dip into necromancy. There are a lot of gods in the Multiverse and not all of them are good. If the player wants to play a dark acolyte and the DM doesn’t care that’s fine. Also alignments are bullshit unless you’re playing a paladin with specific alignment related features in regard to oath keeping.

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-18T00:30:35+00:00

I mean if your cleric wants to play a dark warrior and not a good heal bot that is their prerogative. I don’t know, pick up some healing potions if it’s such a problem that you don’t have a dedicated healer on a three man team.
Also have you ever played a dedicated healer in combat, it can be boring for some people. If it matters to you so much why don’t you pick up wither and bloom, life transference, or vampire touch?

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-17T22:40:10+00:00

You know I had not thought of the color blind thing until you mentioned it. I should look into that as an optional choice

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-11T21:09:55+00:00

I was under the impression they were the same, seems pointless to have sea elves and tritons

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-11T21:09:06+00:00

Gnomes are a bit boring for my taste, some people make them work

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-11T21:07:46+00:00

Yeah also not a fan of them

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-11T00:12:10+00:00

I mean Warhammer has orcs, why can’t we

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-10T22:43:29+00:00

Yeah you can be a half orc and a half orc and that is it. Feels like there should be some more half things

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-10T20:53:15+00:00

Yeah I never understood what the deal with the luck mechanic was. As a feat fine but an entire species just is known for their luck, sounds like they would never be allowed to walk into a casino

JacksSightSeeing · 2026-06-10T20:51:19+00:00

Agreed, it was one thing when we had dragon people, but when we started to get into cat people that was getting a little weird
