Key Takeaways
* Love the feel of rolling dice, but hate losing them? Check out
Mr. Dice - a Raspberry Pi creation for all your dice-rolling needs.
* Mr. Dice handles multiple dice types, adds up results, and maintains manual interaction for a fun experience.
* Abe's Projects made Mr. Dice, which might spark interest in creating your own digital dice roller at home.
How do you like your dice? While some adore the tactile feel and sound
of rolling physical dice, others prefer to have a computer calculate
just how much damage their 9d6 spell did. And while there are plenty of
apps out there that can handle it, why not go for something that will
really get the party talking? Someone created their own dice-rolling
device using a Raspberry Pi called "Mr. Dice", and it's a seriously cool-looking way to perform your dexterity saving throws.

I have Dicenomicon on my phone which does the whole 3d dice rolling.
It's pretty old, and probably obsolete. In fact I haven't even tried it
in a long time, I'll see if it still works. Wow. So obsolete it
doesn't even show up on my phone or the App store anymore. Or maybe
that's from when I had an android and it's not on iPhone?
That was about 5 years ago at least.
Well there's something called Mighty Dice on my iPhone, looks like it
does the same. It doesn't seem to let me roll 100 d6's at the same time though. Sad.

I'm disappointed it's not a cube with a display on each face and an accelerometer to measure how you throw it...

It still looks super cool and I want one.
I guess one could build one with not that many problems.
