Saving dice configurations

Most players generally use the same 2-3 rolls repeatedly. It would be nice to be able to save specific rolls (say 1d8+1d4+2) either as a button or as a quick command like /roll1.

It's already in there - if you go to the Settings tab (the gear icon in the right-hand panel), you'll see that you can add Macros to the game. You can either type them, or, if you activate the new macro quick bar, you can have them stored as buttons to click. The button part was added to the system yesterday, but if you check out the documentation, the macro functionality (where you can type a macro like #roll1) was there from inception.

Hi Andrew I'm glad to say that you actually can! :) In your campaign, click the "gear" icon that appears in the tabs above the chat section. You'll see a section called "Macros" Click "+ Add" In the popup box, give it a name (If you'd like a button, use a single word) for this example I'll call it attack Now, in the command(s) section, enter in your script /roll 1d8+1d4+2 If you want multiple commands, enter each one on a separate line. Now, click "Save Changes" At this point, you're required to turn out all the lights, and say "Hail Cthulu" three times Now, you'll see a checkbox that says "Show macro quick bar?" toss a checkmark in there and check off your macro in the list as well where it says "In Bar" You should now get a thin strip along the bottom of your screen, and any macros you check off will appear there. Pretty gorram cunning, doncha think?

Curse you Chris! You type faster than me! :P

Sorry if this is hijacking this thread slightly but it has to do with “saving dice configurations.” I would find it very useful if I could A) set a default style for my game’s dice rolls or B) set up a macro with a variable. For example if I’m running a new World of Darkness game, typing out /r 4d10!>8 is cumbersome. Setting up a macro doesn’t fix the problem because the number of dice I’m rolling will change every roll. In the current system I have to create a new macro for each number of dice I want to roll 1 through 10+ depending on how high the dice rolls might be. If I could get my A, where I could set the default rolling system to be “d10” and explode “!” and be greater than 8 “>8” as universal rules applied to roles it would be a big time saver for my group. Maybe link this rule set up to a symbol like “$” so I only have to type /r$ 4 to roll 4 dice in that system while still leaving the normal /r system available. The B option above solves the problem in a similar way. Where I could create a macro and feed it a variable “nD10!>8” saved as the Macro “r”. Then when I type #r 4, it feeds that number into the N variable and I get my dynamic roll.
