Hi all,

I made Rollwright, a dice roller for people who run or play tabletop games in Obsidian. You write a formula in a note, read the result, and click it to roll again.

![Rollwright demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thijsduinhouwer2002-coder/rollwright/main/images/demo.gif)

What I cared about most is the moment of the roll. Click a result and it tumbles and lands. The highest possible roll lands in gold, a natural 20 gets a NAT 20 stamp, and the lowest turns red. Every roll you click goes into a Roll log, grouped by note and session, so after a session you can read back what happened. Roll animations turn off if your system asks for reduced motion.

It uses the same `dice:` notation as the Dice Roller plugin, so notes you already have should keep working. On top of that:

- Roll on your own tables, lists, sections, single lines and tagged notes. A lookup table picks the row that matches a roll.
- `dice+:` keeps a result after a restart, `dice-mod:` writes the result into the note after you confirm.
- Numbers from your frontmatter work in a roll: with `str: 3`, `dice: 1d20 + str` adds 3.
- Keep highest, exploding dice, rerolls, success counting, Fudge dice and Genesys narrative dice.

All rolling is free. There are optional paid skins, which is how I hope to keep working on it. No account and no telemetry.

Install: open `https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/rollwright` and choose “Add to Obsidian”.

I’d love to hear what you roll on and what is missing. Bugs and ideas are welcome here or on GitHub.
