    GM dices shadowed

    Hello,
    I've just heard from a player that all the rolls I do as a GM are shadowed in the chat. The result is visible (Show GM rolls option is on ON) but the animation is grey. Is it normal ? The players see other players' roll OK.

    What I have always liked about the shadowed dice when the GM rolls them is you can tell when they explode... this might seem a "problem" to some people but I disagree:

    1) If I am running a face-to-face game I would have to pick up the dice and roll them again so my players already know I have aced
    2) If you are rolling for damage or an NPC hostile action the players start to worry BEFORE the result arrives (always fun as the GM)

    The best roll I have ever had was 45 on a d4, oh boy was the player freaking out (he had said just before I rolled the damage, "the things only got a strength of d4 how bad could it be")
    My players just defeated an army, had a dogfight with aliens, machine-gunned the zombies, stormed the tower, became Legendary and died heroically

    Yours are still on combat round 6

    I've done something similar to three characters in the same round, after doing it to two other characters the round immediately before. A sour tasting TPK.

    EEEEP!
    That's why I use the 4 wounds damage cap option in 4.7 all the time now
