How to make Rolls in Roll20

There have been many questions over the years about how to make one roll or another that are answered in the wiki, but the answers might be spread among several different pages. So I wrote up an article which collects almost everything about rolls in one place - making rolls, exploding rolls, roll and keep, using macros, chat buttons, reusing rolls, and so on. <a href="https://cybersphere.me/roll20-dice/" rel="nofollow">https://cybersphere.me/roll20-dice/</a> It does refer to the roll20 wiki (which is an amazing resource, largely due to the fantastic work of Andreas), and some things are a bit more condensed than I'd like (but the article is already long), but still, I needed this so maybe others will find it useful.

You should link it in that wiki page, if you haven't already done so.

That's really nice! &nbsp;You should add an image showing how labels look in rolls and inline rolls here:&nbsp; <a href="https://cybersphere.me/roll20-dice/#tab-usingtagsorlabels" rel="nofollow">https://cybersphere.me/roll20-dice/#tab-usingtagsorlabels</a>

You include the Macros link there twice, Keith. I added a link to two pages - Dice Reference and the Complete Guide page.

Edited. My mistake. The same sheet is linked twice on the Wiki Home Page.

Great idea :) I do use less images than I should - I have added that.
