Using the Polyhedral Dice Roller
Joining a Room
There are two ways to join a room: Use a Direct Link or the Room ID and Passcode.
- If you have a Direct Link, paste it into your browser.
- If you know the Room ID and Passcode, you can enter them (and choose your Avatar) while in the Dungeon.
Once inside a room, a player can change their Avatar by using the Switch Avatar button.
Making a Room
To make a new room, you must be in the Dungeon, and then click on the button (bottom right) to make a new room. You will be asked to give the room a Name and choose to have the room Open or Closed.
- Open Rooms can be joined by anyone who knows (or guesses) the Room ID.
- Restricted Rooms require a Passcode to enter; when you create one, you will be prompted for a Passcode.
- If you send the Direct Link to your players, it will have the Passcode embedded.
Getting Room Info
There are two places you can go to find Room Info.
-
Inside each Dice Room is an info link (
) found on the top right of the page (next to the Profile Drop-down).
Both Players and GMs can use this link, but GMs have access to more information.
- (GMs only) Once you're on the Hub Page, look for a plus button ( ) for your room; clicking that reveals info that only GM's can see.
GM Controls
GMs have additional privileges in their rooms. (The user who creates a room is GM by default.) GMs can:
- See more information about the room (including Direct Links, Passcode, etc.)
- Ban/Unban players; GMs can also make a player the GM for that room.
- Archive a room. Archived Rooms are hidden (but still accessible) on the Dungeon; they also have Dice and Chat turned off.

Resources
Dungeons and Dragons
- Official Website - Wizards of the Coast's website. Find all things D&D here.
- SRD for 3.5 - (System Reference Document) A fan run site with tons of resources
- SRD for 5E - "3.5"? "5E"? Being the original, D&D has been around so long there are a plethora of editions to choose from. 5E is the current.
Pathfinder
- Official Pathfinder Site - You can also find info about Starfinder.
- d20 Pathfinder SRD - Basically, think of this as a Wiki for Pathfinder, except you're not allowed to edit it.
- Archives of Nethys - Another really useful fan site with Pathfinder (and Starfinder) resources.
