[AD&D 1E] Whisper DM rolls

Hi All, I've been searching for a solid 30 minutes, which in Google time is like 4 years, but I can't find the answer. I'd like to hide my DM rolls from my players in our 1E game. We use Vince's 1e sheet. I dont see any settings in the settings page where you launch the game, and nothing once the game is actually launched. Anyone else solve this dilemma? HELP! Thank you in advance for your kind attention to this matter.  Best regards, TBC

Hi TBC, there is not a whisper option on the original 1e sheet.  You can manually edit any of the exposed macro-text fields and add "/w gm " to the beginning of the macro.  ie &{template:general} {{color=@{color_option}}} {{name=@{character_name}}} {{subtag=Casts: @{spell_name}}} {{Range:=@{spell_range}}} {{Duration:=@{spell_duration}}} {{AOE:=@{spell_aoe}}} {{Save:=@{spell_save}}} {{TEST=TEST}} would become /w gm &{template:general} {{color=@{color_option}}} {{name=@{character_name}}} {{subtag=Casts: @{spell_name}}} {{Range:=@{spell_range}}} {{Duration:=@{spell_duration}}} {{AOE:=@{spell_aoe}}} {{Save:=@{spell_save}}} {{TEST=TEST}} BTW:  In case you are not aware I have been working on an AD&D 1e Revised sheet which I'm planning to release soon™.  It includes whisper options and more...

that "new" AD&D 1e sheet from Vince is going to be awesome when it is ready within the amorphous duration "soon"
Thanks Vince! It took me a bit of trial and error, but I figured out the workaround by adding the text to the macro. I did it, but held off implementing for my game because I wanted to ask you first if it was ok to modify the sheet.  So Im very pleased you suggested it as the fix! Also, CAN NOT WAIT for that new sheet! I've been using your original sheet for 5 or 6 years now. I love it! The new one looks amazing! Thank you again for all of your hard work!
Will the new sheet have a Monster version? I've been using the regular sheet as such, monsters, NPCs, etc.

The sheet exposes many of the sheet's rolls so that you can edit the macros if desired.  Also, if you mess something up, you can simply delete the macro-text and the sheet will "fall-back" to the default macro. ;-)

i foresee an AD&D 1st Edition campaign in my future, when that Vince sheet update is officially live. I've been playing mostly AD&D 2nd Edition, and various OSR like Swords & Wizardry, and even some D&D Basic Expert Companion, over the past 12 months or so on Roll20.  New sheet looks awesome in the screen shots. Keep up the strong progress (when it fits in your schedule)

Could you add a screen shots of this? I have been playing around with something similar but never really found the way I want to do it.  Also exposing fields makes it harder to use CRP as there is hidden logic that any player editing a macro is not aware of. So keeping the balance of keeping macros customizable but still be able to utilize the Power of CRP is a hard line for me to find, and I have been going back and forth on this.

@Peter Basically you use a textarea (could use a text input if multi-lines are not needed) on the sheet to hold the macro and call that attribute as the sheet roll's value.&nbsp; I actually added an example on the wiki in response to a related issue regarding the need to run multiple commands in a single roll (w/out needing CRP) <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Button#Multiple_Commands" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Button#Multiple_Commands</a> I suppose you would need to be careful of what you actually allowed a user to edit in regards to CRP handling. Could just expose one option other than the entire roll on an attack for example.
