Pixels Dice Extention

Got my die today. Would like to add my voice to 'please R20 extension please, thank you.'

I'm shocked that Pixels aren't integrated with Roll20 yet. Me and my friends just received our dice last week and we were really looking forward to using them to roll for our online games. Please get to it as soon as possible.

Simira said: What happened? And why on earth has no Roll20 staff replied at all in this thread? I find that mystifying as well. Especially when you just read (or skim) through the Comments posted on some of these Suggestion threads, where people say things like they'd be willing to start using Roll20 with their group, or they'd be willing to subscribe and pay, or they're saying they're going to unsubscribe, dependant upon news of a feature. And in some cases saying they'd do that, upon even getting Hope of an update. Yet there is just silence from Roll20 Team on so many of these Suggestion threads. Over the months and months you really see the evident User frustration growing in some of these threads.  In the past Roll20 Team addressed it with a post, and pledged to respond to Suggestions that reach +200 Upvotes. This one isn't there yet. That benchmark was mentioned a few years ago but has not been followed consistently since that announcement.  If you sort the Suggestions thread by number of votes today there are many threads above +200 that also don't have any response from the Roll20 Team. In the Blogs they have said that Roll20 Team reads the Suggestions forum and prioritizes based on it. 

Also shocked. While those who have them (me almongst you all) would love integration... What I think we would all appreciate most is a response from Roll20. Please help us understand what's at issue, what we as a community may be able to do to help, etc. 

I've mentioned this in the past and think that it's still true. I believe that the development staff is just too overwhelmed with trying to get the new D&D character sheet and Jumpgate debugged on top of what it takes just to maintain the site. I think Jumpgate was supposed to implement a lot of the pending requests, but like any new architecture it came with its own surprises, and the D&D 2024 sheet is just needing one patch after another (similar to the process that I've read the 2014 sheet went through). That said, an official acknowledgment would be nice.

You hear that people? Upvote this thing if it's something you believe needs attention!

There was an operational chrome extension a few months ago, but that's been obsoleted I guess?

If you mean the  proof of concept plugin created by the Pixels team , that was never intended as more than a proof of concept and it is not integrated into Roll20 very well. Someone in the Pixels community did put some more work into that a while back, and you can find that  here ; but even so, it's not really a permanent solution. If you're playing D&D 5e (either 2014 or 2024) with D&D Beyond and Roll20 in combination, there is a Pixels extension for D&D Beyond that works with Beyond 20 to roll for your character and have the results show up in Roll20. But if you're playing anything else, or if you're not using D&D Beyond, that's not going to be useful to you. Other than that, dddice is currently working on integrating Pixels into their platform, and therefore into their plugin which supports Roll20; that's still WIP though. And even so, that probably won't integrate with the character sheets on Roll20. The only real way to get a decent integration into the character sheets is probably having Roll20 develop it themselves; which is what this thread is all about. And they did at some point say to the Pixels team, that they were going to do it; however nobody has communicated anything even close to a timeline. It is possible, that Roll20 doesn't even have a timeline for this yet. We just don't know.

Did Roll20 ever confirm that they were working with Pixels?

Got my dice... I really want this working out! I have waited five years for them, and now I still can't use them with Roll20?

Love my Pixels D20. Game changer. Now, I need to get it to work in Roll20. Shame it is not integrated already..

Finally got my dice after all these years. Would love for this to exist as I haven't played DND for a year now. I'm looking to join a group and sadly have to use a different website as I know Pixels works so far with DNDBeyond and Foundry.

There is a Chrome extension that has the ability to plug a macro into it, so you can use it with Roll 20, but it does have some limitations.  For example, I can't get the macro to apply the Critical Success and Failure thresholds properly.  So, it is at least usable, but it would be nice to see something that is more integrated.

Foundry does it so nicely, I click the check I want to roll, and it asks for advantage or disadvantage, and then takes my pixels roll (I have two d20s). I got a handful of macros on the Pixels server, that I will get help to adjust to hopefully do something like the same. Only getting the plain d20 rolls is a bit more work/maths than it is worth some times. :/ (realised now that was from Gozer above here) I hope everyone reading and supporting this suggestion also sends an inquiry via the help pages!
