This is a great extension. Works really well, my group had a lot of fun with it last night.

One request - on some themes (e.g. FG Dungeon) the instructions are black text on a dark background, and they are really hard to read. Anything that can be done about that? Thanks!

Thanks Merecraft. I stuck with CoreRPG graphics so I was hoping there wouldnt bee too many issues like that. Ill try out some options tonight.

With Goblin Kings Dice I wonder of people think there should be an upper limit on Dead Rolls in a round eg 4 Dead Rolls is an (not quite) instant loss?

I added a new game today - Pig Dice

Roll 1d6 to determine order.

The highest roll eats first. You roll 1d6 - if you get a 1 your turn ends and you get no points for this round. If you get any other number you can bank that score or roll again and add that to your running total. You can bank that total at any time until you roll a 1 which will empty your running total and end your turn.

The first player to reach 100 points wins!

Added another new game Last Man Standing

Each player rolls 3d6 and the GM double clicks the right hand Score/Lives field - this will cost the lowest scoring player 1 life.
When a player has 0 lives they are eliminated.
Last Man Standing wins.

I changed the scoring in Drunken Unicorn you now score as many points as the round number.

Before I purchase this, quick question; is there anything embedded in that allows for PC Skill Checks? Or, is there room for me to make skill checks, for cheating as an example, and have that reflected in the games?

Also, is there an easy way I can add my own games - such as the Critical Roll ones?

They are dice games - they should be based on luck - maybe a little on strategy for some. There is no allowance for skill. Im not even sure how you would do that as there is no way to influence what the dice actually roll in FG.

The dice games included are the ones in the description. There are 5 different games included.

Fantasy Grounds does not have a feature where you roll dice that only you can see the result of so I doubt you can play the CR game.

All the games require coding to make them work. You would have to write code if you want some sort of tracking or automation in your dice games. Otherwise just throw dice and track it as you go. Thats how we used to play Ship Captain Crew before I wrote this.

Im pretty sure you can refund Forge products within a certain time period if you are not happy with it.

Good point on the CR games. I've only had PC versus NPC, with me rolling in the tower, for now - but PC vs PC would be impossible within FGU.

I will definitely be grabbing the extension, and thank you for it, as it's a great idea! However, I have a Fighter PC who is 'proficient in dice games' and would like to tip things in their favour somehow. If you, or anyone, can think of a good way to grant advantages in these games, please do let me know!

Roll one more dice than needed and drop the lowest? You can set that in the quickbar with /roll 4d6d1 for example which will roll 4d6 and drop the lowest dice.

It has been reported that some elements of 2 games dont work when the players perform the rolls.

The two games are: Last Man Standing and Drunken Unicorn

I am investigating.
