GoCube GoDice D20 Connected – The World’s First Connected Polyhedral Die for Online RPG Play. Physical Die, Real-Time Calculations. Cool Tech Inside

awful to set up or get working anywhere, but does kind of work with the phone app

This is a great addition to my dice collection. For me I play a lot of D&D online with my friends, and after while you start to miss rolling actual dice instead of just typing a console command for it. Even though the tech is new, what they have here to start with is quite impressive. It intergrades with Roll20 and the laptop’s and Bluetooth really well, it was pretty easy and seamless. Discord, is a bit more of a hassle, you have to create a web hook for your server, but it works just as well. I got so addicted just rolling this baby. The design is beautiful, and it lights up when you roll a Nat 20 or Nat 1! How awesome is that?! Definitely adds a little more fun and excitement to the rolls! Anyway here are some pros and cons I found with the dice so far, so you can make your best informed decision. Pros It’s great if you play a lot of D&D online, gives some new life to rolling online if you’re tired of typing up dice commands. Intergrades with the Laptop/Desktop really well, as long as you have Bluetooth you’re fine. Beautifully Intergraded with Roll20, just download the app and you’re ready to go. Charges quickly, you can place it on the charger for 10-20 seconds and it’s fully charged, ready to go, that’s incredible! Super fast and convenient! What they have for starters is fantastic, great integration for Roll20 and discord, it this is what they have already, I can’t imagine what they’ll add next. Cons A bit of a learning curve, but the process is not so difficult, maybe discord is a bit more of a hassle to set up, but if you’re the DM or a friend is willing to set up your dice web hook in their server, you should be fine. You have to line up the shell correctly, or your results will be off. It might be a hassle to set up multiple shells, to me, setting up one is good enough for me. It’s a bit expensive, one single d20 shell and goDice is about 40 dollars. Very steep price for the novelty, but for me I got 10 dollars off, 30 dollars for one dice to me is a bit more reasonable. Technology is still in its infancy, but what they have so far shows promise. There is no mobile app for the d20 GoDice specifically, just some game app using their d6 go dice. If they had a d20 goDice app, they would be golden. GoDice, go make it happen lol. In conclusion, I think it’s worth getting, specially if you play a lot of online D&D and use platforms like Roll20 and Discord. I haven’t tired Foundry, but with what I’ve seen so far, I wouldn’t be surprised if set up with Foundry is just as easy. I love the novelty, it’s a great little add on to my dice collection, and it satisfies my itch to roll real dice when playing online D&D. Hopefully in time, the technology will improve and become more affordable, and I can’t wait to see what this company does next.

Cooler würfel funktioniert auch gut. Ich finde es schade dass man dafür extra eine App benötigt. FoundryVTT Integration fühlt sich nicht gelungen an. Die Würfe wurden nicht immer registriert

I've used foundryVTT for nearly 4 years and done a lot of TTRPG systems and I've seen these products come and go off kickstarter (theres been a few and none worked very well.) But this GoDice D20 works pretty good and the integration was fantastic. It's simply the unfulfilled roll manager module on Foundry + their own GoDice Bluetooth module and you get the choice to either connect your phone/tablet that acts as the bluetooth bridge via SSL (Windows only) or via Web Socket (Just need to disable a setting in chrome.) You take the IP from the app; type it into the godice module in foundry; set the unfulfilled roll module up and it just works. There are a few things to note however and definitely improvements that could be made: - The D20 shell is horrible for readability; the white and black makes it very hard for a camera to pickup and I would of liked to see a design where the light is forced up through the number for better readability. - This system works great with 1 - 4 dice but I can see as soon as you go to 6 - 8 that you will be needing to charge these dice at some point during session. - And while they only take 10 to 20 seconds to charge taking them out of the case can take a second and during that you can't roll it. Manageable for a couple at break time but charging them each a few times and doing shell changes makes me not want to buy too too many of them; either better battery life or a design that allowed charging from within the shell would fix this gripe and a charger capable of charging multiples at once for heavy dice users. - You must place the D6 in a very specific orientation in the shell or you won't get accurate results; it also requires you physically hold your finger down on it for the whole 10 - 20 seconds of charging. Pros: - Out of the box; basic understanding of Foundry; two module installs; a quick typing of a IP; use the unfulfilled rolls module to change your D20 to the bluetooth dice and bam. - Accurate. I have roughly 1 weird weird every 2 - 3 hours of rolling. - I get about 3.5hrs of charge from 100% to 0% but I bet with time I will get less time as the tiny battery gets used in it. - Great integration; love the foundry app and the module and it was very well done. Because it intercepts the roll management even with a super big 150 module setup I haven't found any conflicts. Looking at the product line as it is in 2024 tho I need to point out that buying this D20 alone is IMO better than buying the D20 shell alone because this package comes with the battery-less USB charger which I find to be a lot easier to charge dice with and that large multi-dice holder design isn't very useful as most people have dice cases. But despite these minor critiques; the product works as advertised and only time will tell if they're durable and can handle my rolling addiction.; me; my players and even people who GM for me on Foundry all love these dice and the $30 or so for the D20 alone isn't a bad price point. I would gladly pay more however if we had native d4,d8,d12,d20 that just charged like the D6 does I would also pay way more if there was a wireless charging option!

I bought these for playing Dungeons and Dragons online with a group of friends; While they do the job they say, they're not exactly reliable and can create more problems than they're worth. Pros: - You're able to send rolls digitally to Discord, Foundry or Roll20. (Unreliably.) - Yup... that's about all the pros I got for these dice. Cons: - For what you're getting and the technology these dice are overpriced. The technology in these dice is cheap, you can make it at home or order the parts online for a couple of dollars. - The dice is a little larger than a regular D20 - There is no extension for Firefox, you're forced to use Chrome or Chromium browser. - Bluetooth connectivity is not always reliable - Battery life is not ideal. I commonly have to charge the dice multiple times during a single 4 hour session. - Their support team does not seem very knowledgeable; They provide blanket responses that appear to be more or less copy paste.
