Frequently asked questions.

Joe's Real Rolls is a Windows application that recognizes physical RPG dice through a camera and brings the results into Foundry Virtual Tabletop, Roll20, or Discord. You keep the sound, feel, suspense, and personality of rolling real dice while playing online.

Yes. Joe's Real Rolls version 1.31.5 is available now and has been built and tested with real physical dice, Foundry Virtual Tabletop, Roll20, and Discord. It is a real product made for real game nights—not a concept or future promise.

Version 1.31.5 adds mixed-dice training for whole sets, more helpful review tools, and a smoother handoff between Joe's Real Rolls and the game requesting your roll. It is designed to keep setup clearer and the action moving.

Digital rollers produce a number. Physical dice create a moment: the shake in your hand, the sound in the tray, the pause before the result, and the reaction when a natural 20 lands. Joe's Real Rolls keeps that ritual alive without giving up the convenience of online play.

No. Joe's Real Rolls works through camera-based recognition, so compatible dice from your existing collection need no batteries, charging, radio, or specialized electronics.

The complete roleplaying set is supported: d4, d6, d8, d10, percentile d00, d12, and d20. One-die and multiple-dice rolls are recognized where the requested roll and integration support them.

Yes. The included Factory Baseline gives recognition a ready-to-use starting point across many dice styles. You can begin with it immediately, return to it whenever you want a dependable fresh start, or replace it with your own trained model when your personal model is ready. Backup and restore options help protect the recognition experience you build over time.

Yes. Optional personal training lets Joe's Real Rolls adapt to your dice, camera, tray, and lighting. That means lucky dice, collector sets, metal dice, gifts, and longtime favorites can remain part of your character's story.

Yes. Named Dice Sets keep different collections organized, with one active set at a time. It is an easy way to give different characters, campaigns, or favorite sets their own recognition experience.

It can, and patience is part of the process. Early results do not define the final experience, especially with reflective, translucent, patterned, numbered, or unusually shaped dice. The Factory Baseline lets you start rolling while you gradually teach Joe's Real Rolls the special sets that matter most to you.

The current release improves recognition support for dark dice and gives each Dice Set its own enhancement choices. Challenging dice may still benefit from patient personal training, but the experience is designed to grow with your collection rather than limit it to one perfect-looking set.

Yes. Mixed-dice training lets a newly purchased or favorite polyhedral set learn together through natural full-set rolls. Guided review helps you confirm what the camera saw while the application tracks the progress of each die type.

Joe's Real Rolls supports Foundry Virtual Tabletop, Roll20, and Discord. You can keep the same physical-dice ritual across richly automated VTT sessions, browser-based games, and Discord-centered campaigns.

Yes. Choose the experience that matches the game you are joining and switch when your party changes platforms. One tabletop integration is active at a time, keeping each game session focused and easy to follow.

Foundry players can answer supported in-game roll requests with physical dice and send the reviewed result back to the table. It combines Foundry's maps, automation, and module-rich worlds with the unmistakable drama of a real roll.

Roll20 players can bring physical results into remote sessions while continuing to use familiar sheets and game workflows. Your dice stay on your desk, but the moment is shared with everyone online.

A player can answer a supported Discord roll request with real dice and return the reviewed result—with an optional animated replay—to the originating conversation. Customers use the official Joe's Real Rolls Discord experience without needing to create or maintain their own bot.

An optional replay lets the group see the physical roll behind the result. Where supported, it can finish with a closer look at the detected dice, adding transparency, personality, and a shareable game-night moment.

You stay in control. Graphical dice cards make each recognized value easier to review, including larger multi-die rolls, and confidence colors draw attention where a closer look may help. You can compare the reading with the visible dice and correct a mistake before the result is shared.

A Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer, a compatible camera, a visible rolling area, steady lighting, and the physical dice you want to use are enough to create the experience. Built-in camera and lighting tools help you get the view ready. No special branded or expensive camera—and no electronic dice—are required. Joe's Real Rolls has been tested with several affordable webcams and USB document cameras, including options often available for under $30.

No. Joe's Real Rolls does not require an NVIDIA GPU. A supported NVIDIA GPU may make optional personal-model training faster, but the Factory Baseline and normal recognition experience are not reserved for gaming PCs.

The current release improves the experience on lower-resolution and scaled Windows displays, with resizable and scrollable workflows that keep important controls within reach.

No public community model collection is required for your personal training experience. Optional verification media is shared only through the supported online experience when you choose to use it. Review the current terms and privacy information for complete details.

Joe's Real Lore is a separate, free Windows companion for Foundry VTT. It turns synchronized campaign material into a searchable source for lore answers, character dialogue, and play-session recaps.

Players can recover a forgotten clue without stopping the story, find words that sound right for their character, and finish the night with a useful recap. It helps the group spend less time hunting through notes and more time playing.

Yes. Lore answers stay connected to the Foundry material behind them, making it easy to review the full source or return to the original entry.

Campaign material and AI processing stay on the user's Windows PC. Optional outside-material searching uses the question being searched—not the synchronized campaign library.

Joe's Real Lore does not require a Joe's Real Rolls subscription. Version 0.1.15 is available now as a free Foundry VTT companion.
