How do you roll the multiface tokens privatly as GM?

So, I recently discovered that there is the ability to setup multisided GM, however when trying to random roll the token, it will send a roll in chat, is there any way to make that roll private only to the GM? Or even better yet, not have the roll show up in chat? Since there is no need for that.

You have a couple of options... 1) /talktomyself You can use the /talktomyself option to "turn on" talking to yourself, make the change on the token, then run /talktomyself again to "turn off" talking to yourself. The downsides (if there are any) are that the context menu you get when you right-click on the token (in order to choose "Mulit-sided" and then "Random side") does not automatically close when in "talk to my-bad-self mode." You have to click off of the menu to get it to close. Also, during this period of talking to yourself, API scripts will not run, so you have to be sure to exit talking to yourself. 2) TokenMod Using TokenMod will let you change to a given face, or a random face, with no report to chat: !token-mod --set currentside|* That will select a random side. If you want to manipulate the roll (for instance, you want to add a modifier to the "roll" for what side to show), you can bring metascripts into play, as well, but that's beyond the scope of what you asked for, so I'll wait to make sure you're actually interested before I post an example of that.

Note that TokenMod will only be able to switch to user library images, so if you're building your tokens using marketplace content, using /talktomyself will be the way to go.

I think the Token mod might be interesting, however this would be the first time hearing about token mod. The images are in my library, so that should not be a factor. and this will also future proof games when I start learning API and everything.
