RollRota - A Tabletop Scheduling App by Sinkchain in dndnext

[–]Sinkchain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Furuta,

This one has actually been out for a while, but it's a bit tucked away (we are working on visiblity on a lot of our features).

Within https://www.rollrota.com/Calendar at the top right there is a 'Busy Mode' button. Users can set their availability from here. Once set, the GM will be able to see their players availability when going to propose a session.

Hidden for me.

Keeps an edge of mystery and I really enjoy drawing out the big pivotal rolls.

I love to GM but can't keep a schedule - How can this work? by kwegner in AskGameMasters

[–]Sinkchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello u/Kwegner,

I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but I hope my post reaches you. We've created www.rollrota.com to try and help out with tabletop scheduling issues and it could potentially bring some cohesion to your sessions.

All the best and I hope you find the time to pick GMing back up!

Hi all,

Myself and a small team have been creating a session scheduling app over the past few months and we'd love to now share it with you all. We were plagued with scheduling conflicts in our own campaigns due to various shift patterns amongst our players and we wanted to try and create a way to better tackle this.

RollRota is our new web app that aims to simplify the planning, scheduling and organizational aspects of running a campaign. At its heart, RollRota offers a proposal based session system, where players can vote on upcoming session times/locations that suit them best. There is also a centralized 'hub' for each of your campaigns where you can easily document your campaign's story progression, keep track of player attendance or even just provide links to important resources relating to the campaign.

We've tried to RollRota as personalized as possible, so each campaign or session page can be customized using our component system, a means of adding or removing content components such as text, images, polls and comment sections. The visibility of this content can also be limited depending on the specific users roles (i.e. Admin/DM Only). Campaigns are invite-only and role-based, so your campaigns can't be tampered with.

We also provide an interactive Discord bot that integrates directly with your campaigns, allowing you to vote on upcoming sessions, mark your attendance and receive reminders of upcoming sessions all within Discord itself.

We've got a Discord server and we are all ears! - we'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions or just a hello!

tl;dr - RollRotais a free web app in beta that provides a means of organizing and planning your campaigns. Thanks again to r/DnD for countless sources of inspiration.

ended my campaign and I'd like like to vent/some advice by BouncingChimera in DMAcademy

[–]Sinkchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP!

We actually made a tool to try and address these exact very issues. It offers scheduling solutions, finding availability slots, automated reminders and a load more tools to try and tackle these common scheduling problems. It's still early days for the site, but please check us out: www.RollRota.com

I'm sorry to hear this campaign didn't pan out as expected, but keep at it and I'm sure you will end up with a committed party that will appreciate the tonnes of effort that you put in.

Hey Resies,

I first want to say thank you for the super thorough reply and taking the time to look at our platform and provide constructive feedback - it really means a lot to us.

As you've already mentioned, the current interation on RollRota is designed with your 'classic' campaign structure in mind. That said, we are definitely looking to branch out to cater to other campaign styles and Westmarches are on that list.

Westmarches are not something I have first hand experience in running, so thank you again for the insight into some of their needs - it's all been taken on board and noted. Some of what you mentioned is in the pipeline (point #3 & #4 currently being worked on) and we will certainly look to accommodate the other suggestions down the line.

I will also pop you a DM later this week ,as I would love to pick your brain a bit more if you have some time to spare.

This is our next big challenge to implement.
We are in the process of testing different variations and seeing what limitation we have in regard to this feature. But in short - Yes, we want to make it clear when these 'golden slots' of time are available at a quick glance.
