For me, the previous post says "Raiko rolled 3d6 and got a total of 13."

(It also says "[Make removable]", but I'd imagine that's an admin or moderator feature!

If anyone can't see the total in the above post, can you let me know - and also what browser you're using?

I'll let Lee know about the problems.

We'll try to move on quickly to get Amy back with everyone. John has run back to the hotel, where there is a phone, I'll post an update for him once things are moving along at the museum.

Hopefully we can get everybody back together at the Hotel Maury soon.

As it looks like we're a couple of players down, I'm considering taking on another player to play Professor Sánchez.

I've sent you a PM. If you're lurking on the forum without logging in, then please log in and reply to the PM or post something here, as I'm currently assuming that play-by-forum isn't for you.

@Kabukiman as well. You've not logged on for four weeks and haven't replied to my email, if you're still interested in playing then please let me know.

I'm also going to give potential new players the chance to play the young lady whose life John has just saved.

Thanks to his great first aid roll, I've got some leeway to give her a few hit points back when she wakes up.

Perhaps she's another student of Professor Sánchez or a friend of Trinidad Rizo.

Testing the dice roller by rolling 3d6:

[dice]0[/dice]

Even more interesting: Now it doesn't show anything at all ... no results ... absolutely nothing.

Well that's no good. I knew the individual dice wouldn't show, but I thought it might kick the total into action.

I'll swap back now.

Okay, it's swapped back now. So it should at least work how it used to.

I've not let Lee know about the problems yet. At least it's just about usable with the dice showing.

I don't suppose you have Firefox on your Mac?

I can see all your rolls, so it's something Safari isn't liking about the database query. Hopefully something Lee can fix?

Again, if it's too frustrating for you, and you don't fancy using Firefox, then you're welcome to make rolls on Dhole House instead.

Testing the dice roller (3d6):

[dice]0[/dice]

OK, so I got " 5,4,2".

I can always do the totals myself.

Thanks, sorry I've not been able to do anything better.

Just for the hell of it, try putting [dice=total]3d6[/dice]

It probably won't help, but it's worth trying.

I've just had another thought.

Do you still have that broken 1d6 + 1d4 + 1 roll on here somewhere? I wonder if that's broken all of your totals?

Can you see the total for my roll here:

[dice]0[/dice]

Edit: nope forget that, I can see your totals, so it must be a browser problem.

Can anyone else see totals in Safari?

Now " 1, 4, 1" has just shown up. Problem fixed !

I can only see "6, 4, 3". No totals.

Anyway, not a big deal.

I have dyscalcula( basically dyslexia but with numbers) So dumb question: Why 1d10*10 rather than just a straight 1d100 roll?

As for the die rolls, it all shows up for me in firefox.

Trying the dice roller with dice=total (3d6):

[dice=total]0[/dice]

Now, with dice=total, absolutely no numbers show up at all.

Well, we're only trying to replace the tens place with the bonus die. It doesn't change the ones place. For example, you roll a 97 (2 d10s in actuality, a 9 and a 7), but your bonus die (d10) is a 5. The 5 replaces the 9 and your new result is 57. Our Keeper seems to prefer that we multiply the result by 10 so it comes out as a 50 rather than a 5. It makes it a bit easier to read at a glance, I imagine.

FYI: I've successfully used the roller in Chrome (mobile), Firefox (desktop PC), and Opera (desktop PC).

Well, the rules say "use a third die as a bonus die for rolling the "tens" a second time and keep the lowest result".

In practice, I would agree that rolling twice 1d100 and using the best result is much simpler ...

We should follow the ruling of The Keeper on that matter, though.

It's no biggie, I originally misunderstood Mallet's second roll (but it was very late at night).

Tiredness made me a little pedantic. Lol.

Sometimes it's best to ignore grumpy Raiko and carry on having fun.

By the way new user jp1885 will be joining us and playing the student who John just saved.

I'll arrange for her to be in good enough condition to join you without waiting too long.

Hello jp1885 (Jon).

Ah, thanks guys. Makes more sense now.

And welcome to the game jp1885.

For what it's worth, I agree that just rolling additional d100s for bonus/penalty dice is the easiest way online
