Hide gm rolls D&D 5e

Using the standard character sheet. At one point I successfully had all GM rolls whispered and PC rolls were public. By GM rolls I mean clicking attacks on monster sheets or rollable tables. Then all of a sudden all PC rolls were whispered by default, and the players complained they couldn't see each other rolls. So I switched to whisper query, which worked for players, but now all my rolls were public. Rollable tables were now showing spoilers. I asked roll20 support for help and they said that this wasn't supported, but I swear it used to work. I tried all of the whisper settings, each time applying default settings, but now I can't ever get monster or NPC attacks, or rollable tables, to roll privately. This sucks. Did something change a month or two ago? What do I do now? NB: I'm not looking for a command line solution, i.e. `/gmroll 1d20`, I'm looking for an overarching setting. AFAIK command line doesn't help rollable tables or clicking attacks on the monster sheet. Thanks! Gene

Not sure about the Rollable tables, since that  is a feature of how they are called in a macro, but for sheet rolls, here is my all-in-one whisper guide. use the part that applies to you. My advice is to get the NPCs in order, and then tweak PCs manually as needed. Many more NPCs than PCs. Note that the whisper settings are attached to each individual sheet, there is no actual game setting. These instructions are for changing the defaults for all the character sheets in the game, then applying the settings to all existing sheets. Note that this will also change your PC sheets - you will have to manually change them to a different setting if one is preferred. Here are the ways to toggle this behavior: Always Whisper Go to the Campaign Settings Page Choose "Always Whisper Rolls" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings Save Load your game Go to the settings tab on the right and scroll to the bottom where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar. Never Whisper There's a bug in the game settings that doesn't recognize "Never Whisper Rolls", possibly because it is trying to write a blank value. The solution is to use Whisper Toggle. The default is public, so once this is set, all rolls should show. Go to the Campaign Settings Page Choose "Whisper Toggle" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings Save Load your game Go to the settings tab on the right and scroll to the bottom where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar. Query Whisper The default is public, so once this is set, all rolls should show by default unless you choose otherwise. Go to the Campaign Settings Page Choose "Query Whisper" under "WHISPER ROLLS TO GM" in the Default Sheet Settings Save Load your game Go to the settings tab on the right and scroll to the bottom where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it. Choose to update the Whisper settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve. There is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar.    7. Have fun!
