Angela Mont (ID: 00000050281dd802) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/08/2023 Thank you for making a dice roller that actually moves and has the visual of a dice with dots vs. just numbers. I use this in teletherapy with students. It helps increase engagement and is easier to use than loading up a separate window with an online dice roller.... my only request is please make is look like a normal die - white cube with dots. One like that does not exist. It would be great for teachers and therapists supporting students through virtual learning. It doesn't exist! Only lots of D&D dice... normal dice roll extension please!!
