Put the results into a roll template. Assuming you are using the D&amp;D 5e by Roll20 sheet, that could be: /w gm &amp;{template:npcaction} {{rname=Dark Gifts}}{{description=[[1t[Dark-Gifts]]]}}

It would probably be easiest to put it into a macro rather than typing it out every time. It's just a way of sending info in chat. Roll Templates are formatted chat text, usually used for displaying results of roll on character sheets. Most sheets will have one or more of them for displaying spells, attacks, abilities and so forth. Those templates only work if you have that sheet installed. Only read the first part of that page I linked. The second half is about creating them for a custom sheet. This first half is just about using them. Again, my example assumed you were using the D&amp;D 5e by Roll20 sheet. Let me know if this is not the case, and I can probably provide another that is specialized for your sheet. In any case, there is a default template that will work anywhere. That code would be: /w gm &amp;{template:default} {{name=Dark Gifts}} {{Result=[[1t[Dark-Gifts]]]}} In either case, you could drop the&nbsp; /w gm &nbsp;at the beginning if you didn't mind the results being public.
thanks this works. is there anyway to whisper the results to a drop down menu of players as a macro? for example. roll table select player to giver results via whisper.

Replace the&nbsp; /w gm&nbsp; with either: /w ?{Whisper|Player1name|Player2name|Player3name|Player4name|Player5name|Player6name}&nbsp; for a dropdown list, or: /w "@{target|token_name}" to whisper to a targeted token.
will this whisper to all tokens is there a seperation between tokens and player tokens?

The "target" keyword will require you to select a token at the time the macro is run. You could also use "selected" instead of "target", which would cause it to whisper to the controller of whatever token you have selected when you run the macro. The latter will not function if you have multiple tokens selected. In either case, it will whisper to all controllers of the indicated token. If the token has no controller, only the gm/sender will see it.

Like an encounter table that produces said monster on the tabletop? It's probably possible with the API, but I don't know of any script that does so.

It's probably possible with the API, but I don't know of any script that does so. yeh i mean that would be cool and it does it off map or on the gm layer so we can place it if needed with an added ping for its location too. that would be cool. but if thats not possible just rolling the 2d6 from the table would be nice.&nbsp; for instance. i click roll table. table lands on a description that requires to roll 2 d6. id like it to calculate that roll from the roll table roll if thats possible.

Look into the Recursive Table script by The Aaron. It should handle what I think you're describing.
