Dice roller: printable body/stun

[Strand]

Back in the 90's, when my group would play the game where ever we could, it was tough to roll 12 to 15d6 on a McDonald's table. I came to the rescue with a little program called Diceroll.exe (at least I think that was the one). It printed a chart on an 8.5 x 11 sheet that had a percentile to roll instead of the die sixes. It listed Body and Stun for 1d6 for I think up to 30d6. I still have the program, but I need a computer with DOS. I don't have one and even if I did, I'm not sure it would connect to a USB printer. (Serial Ports and all)

 

Players would probably find Hero Systems Mobile. From that they can just tap the button on the screen.

 

Yet.  Nothing beats rolling dice. I have looked online for something that would create a Body/stun table but haven't found anything.

 

My only other thought is an Excel sheet (I am using Open office/Libra Office) and I figure something like a spreadsheet could do the same thing.

 

I would rather have something that creates a print out like what I used from before. Any ideas?  Thanks.

I'm guessing no one knows what I'm looking for. No problem. It was a long shot. I will see if I can find it elsewhere. Who knows, maybe I can find an old laptop and computer with Win95 (that should be old enough)

Why would you want it printed? I could see why you might want to export as text, so you can sent it over the web, but print?

[edit] I should say that our current D&D game will likely take the entire year to play  before we play another game. The Plan is to play Champions after the D&D game. But given the state of the Vaccine roll out, who knows? You are right about sending the file via email. But I am assuming we will be playing in person by the time we start to play the Champions game. We should be at a table. But 12d6 is still a LOT of dice. I think the group would love the resurrection of that table we used way back when. All I need to do is find it.

This sounds better

Hey Strand, I use these Google sheets for rolling dice. Maybe they can be of use to you. 

 

Just change the value of A1 (or any other cell that's not in use) to re-roll.

Thanks.

I downloaded it for Open office and instead of changing anything I just go to File -> Reload to have it re-roll the dice.

I know the easy way here is to just take what you have here and just fill out a blank spreadsheet for Body and Stun.

I think there is an app for a phone that will do just that. But I just thought I could create this "simply" and if one of my

friends said, "hey, can I have one of these?" I'd say "sure!" and I would just hit reload and have a different version.

But this thing is getting cumbersome to create. I was on reddit Excel forum for help and I don't own Excel. RANDBETWEEN(,)

seems to work, but INDEX [array] does not. I'm pulling out my hair.

 

I'm slow with concepts and usually think things the hard way. Thanks for what you created. I will likely create a sheet that doesn't calculate

Unless I find a different way
