Show HN: Dice for Board Games and RPGs
Online Dice launched a free browser-based dice roller targeting board game and tabletop RPG players, posted to Hacker News by creator artiomyak.
Online Dice, a free browser-based dice rolling tool for board games and tabletop RPGs, launched publicly on August 30, 2026, according to a Hacker News Show HN post by its creator, artiomyak.
The tool is accessible at onlinedice.app and appears aimed at players who need a quick, no-install way to roll dice during tabletop sessions. The Show HN submission did not include details on supported die types, platform availability beyond the browser, or pricing beyond the implied free access.
The HN post received 1 point and no comments at the time of submission, suggesting early-stage visibility. No additional sources corroborate technical details, funding, or team information beyond what artiomyak shared in the post itself.
Online dice rollers occupy a crowded utility space alongside established tools such as Roll20's built-in roller, Google's native dice feature, and purpose-built apps like RPG Simple Dice. The segment largely competes on speed, simplicity, and the range of polyhedral dice supported — standard tabletop RPG sets typically require d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20 variants. The sources provide no information on how onlinedice.app differentiates from these incumbents.
No forward-looking roadmap, team size, or expansion plans were mentioned in the submission. Readers interested in following development can track updates through the HN thread or directly via the app.
