Modiphius' 2d20 systems seem to commonly used some proprietary d6s for things like damage. I have access to three of the systems - Conan, Fallout, and Star Trek Adventures - and the d6s work the same in all three, so I suspect they're the same in most of their 2d20 games. The dice work as follows: d6 Result Symbol Result 1 * 1 damage 2 ** 2 damage 3 [blank] 0 damage 4 [blank] 0 damage 5 Effect Symbol 1 dmg+effect 6 Effect Symbol 1 dmg+effect In the system, various weapons and attacks can have 'Damage Effects,' such as 'Piercing 1,' which would ignore 1 point of damage reduction for each Effect symbol rolled. Any output would then need to total both the amount of damage rolled and the number of Effect symbols rolled. Would that be doable at all? EDIT: The Star Trek book calls them 'Challenge Dice,' but Conan and Fallout both call them 'Combat Dice,' so the latter might be the better name for them.

Example: An array of 4d6 rolled 8 times, dropping the two lowest arrays. (Net result = 6 rolls of 4d6) Thanks.

Context: I applied to a game by creating a thread for my character. I wasn't selected, the game went private. I then tried to look for my character thread to archive it, but it's completely invisible. In OG MW, we could still see and access threads that we had started even in a forum marked private, if I recall correctly. This new way of working seems excessively restrictive; we can easily lose access to - and control over - precious (to us!) content. Would it be possible to reinstate access (only to threads that we started)?

Two questions/requests: Would it be possible for the parser to check for a hanging semicolon at the end of an entry and remove it? I will sometimes copy-paste multiple rolls into a single entry (e.g. rolling 3d6 multiple times in a row), but forget to remove the final semicolon, which is rejected as a syntax error (but still hangs around in the dice roller). Is there a way to specify a minimum or maximum value for a roll? For example, something like max(1d6+1,3) would return any rolls less than 3 as a 3, and min(1d6+1,4) would return any rolls greater than 4 as a 4. I didn't see one in the dice tower user's guide. Thanks.

So I saw that cloning sheets was added to the que but I also can't change whether my sheet is private or public and I can no longer set sheets to folders. The folders were nice because I could sort characters into campaigns or into a homebrew monster folder. Unrelated to the missing features, with the Pathfinder 1e sheets (and probably the related systems), I have several characters that have a Strength increase but only for carry weight or are quadrapeds so values are doubled. It would be nice to have options to change it without having to recalculate and manually enter it every time I add a temporary modifier to Strength or increase the score when leveling.

Way back when in OG MW you could find and use previous versions of sheets. I really liked this fuctionality. (Especially if you have multiple windows with the same sheet open and accidentally save the unedited one last...) Is there a chance this back log could be implemented in Baldr?

Hey devs, I had a discussion with in discord, and I was trying to figure out how to get images/text in OOC, so far I'm able to put images and texts inside the OOC, as in the example below, but we found out that there seems to be no way of adding <p styles> to it, so we cannot have text alignment in the OOC. Is this a thing that could be added? If so, even further, is adding stuff to OOC something that could be made visual instead of code based? Thank you in advance, and thank you for the wonderful job you guys made on the new website, this here is amazing <3 ExampleColors Size formatting everything

Hey I assume its related to something on how the ToC code pulls the headers as raw text that text inside <> brackets isn't pulled in. But wanted to bring it up incase it wasn't intended. Link: Region with <Write up Required> in it:

Hello! When I go to the "My Games" tab under games I'm presented with a list of only games I own/ am in. However when I try to say, filter all private games OR switch from condensed view to expanded view the "My Games" subtab just reverts to the entire Games Directory. I don't know if you have multiple pages of games if that filter also breaks if you go to a new page or not (should be tested I suppose) Is this a limit of the preset filter for "My Games"? Is there a limitation with the sidebar that would require a specific place to see only your games filtered? Why does the filter break when I try to search within it? Good Luck Eric o7

Greetings all, I would like to request the addition of automated dice rolling for the Marvel Super Hero Role Playing (MSHRPG) game from a few years ago. Some folks call it the FASERIP system, and it's probably better known by that name. The basic system is, an attribute has an assigned Rank, which is one of a number of columns on a table. A d100 is rolled, and a color result is gained (which tells you the degree of success, or lack thereof, you achieved). Each Rank has a unique name. They usually have a two letter abbreviation, but not all do. I'll add an attachment of the chart to this request, which should make things much clearer. The chart is easily found with even just a cursory internet search. I would imagine the rolling syntax would be something like marvel(IN) for a roll on the Incredible Rank. Other examples could be: marvel(shiftX), marvel(class1000), marvel(TY), and so on. These would return a result of something like "You rolled a Yellow (67) on the Incredible Rank column" or "You rolled a White (22) on the Typical Rank column." For extra bonus points, there is also a set of special maneuvers that could be automated. These are the ones across the top of the chart that I will show as an attachment. In these cases, you could set the syntax as marvel(EA) for a roll on the Edged Attacks maneuver. However, for these, you'd have to reference a character's stat (in the case of Edged Attacks that would be Fighting) so maybe the easiest way would be for the player to input that as part of the roll? Maybe something like marvel(EA:GD) — the character's Fighting is Good Rank (GD) and they're making an Edged Attack. These maneuvers would return a result of something like "You got a result of Stun (Yellow 88) on the Edged Attack maneuver." I'd be more than happy with the just the dice roller, to be honest. Getting the maneuvers would be icing on the awesome cake. Thank you for taking the time to consider this! I hope I'm posting this in the correct place, but please let me know if I should have put it elsewhere. Varuna

Could we get the "User CP" page, or something similar, back? Currently the closest approximation is the "My Games" tab, which just repeats the exact same information in three separate elements. (The Name/Link to the homepage of the games were in/following) While relegating the list of specific threads we're participating in, and which likely need attention, to a crowded, incomplete list down the side. Just moving the "Recent Activity in My Games" element back to the top/front/center of the page, or allowing users to customize where each of the elements go, would be a major improvement. As it is, the only effective way to make sure we're up to date is to manually navigate to each game, and each tab in those games, making sure we've checked for unread material.

In the Dice Wizard the Fate option only allows one thing: Rolling 4dF and applying a modifier. Similarly the Dice String command is fate(modifier) for, again, 4dF with a modifier. Some Fate Games require more (or maybe less) dice than this. Could the Fate dice command/wizard be altered to accommodate? I would suggest that the Wizard simply allow the number of dice (pre-filled with 4 if possible) and modifier, and for the String I would suggest fate(dice,modifier) such as fate(8,-2).

firefox 116.0.3 on windows 11 I'm a certified BALDR appreciator, just wanted to point out a few more things. Halloween theme is amazing btw, I personally prefer the orange on black dark theme over the default dark theme, but that's probably also because I'm an ars technica reader (but I digress) The card view seems a bit unpolished. Forum names shoved into corner of monochrome boxes. I'm not sure what the site is going for with the fluid option either. The game ads are not visible and the feed for the first page is all sticky threads dumped into a pile. There is the checkbox thing on the right to toggle on and off various options but ads are not one of them.

First, I absolutely love the filter, as it really is much better than "CTRL+F." Second, you finally have a "last updated" date-time stamp section, which is awesome! Now, what I recommend next ... and mind you TTW had this over a decade ago ... is not just WHEN a file was last updated, but by WHOM. Any chance that could happen?

Can we (in this case, the game owner) see when a roll was added to the forum, and the time of the roll? I sometimes make rolls "off site", meaning the results are hidden from the players, but I mostly let the players do the rolls. An unusual situation came up where there was miscommunication and we both rolled, but I want to know which roll happened first so I can make a decision. (I am a bit OCD so this is really important to me.) In a nutshell: When a player adds a roll using the dice panel i.e. can the GM see when the roll was made?  

I apologise if this has been addressed (and answered) before, but what are your plans for the stat block section on the sheets? (I am using D&D 3.5 ones) As they are now, they create a nice BBCcode block, with URL link formatting and bold text, but this doesn't ryhme well with Baldr. It is really no biggie, but I really liked that feature in OGMW. 🙂

I just noticed there is no option for d3 on the dice roller. Many of the D20 games use it for cantrip damage. Am I just not finding the correct means of doing it?     Is this the right place for this?

Whenever I go to view a post's edit history, it's because I want to see what they changed. But since the differences aren't called out, it can be pretty hard to find them, especially in a big post. Is there any chance we could get the differences between versions shown? Like deleted text is crossed out, and new text is highlighted.

 

Is it possible to get a field to add a border to an image inside the image control popup where you resize or float the image? Would be much easier to do it from there without going into the source.

I noticed this this morning - Normally, ctrl-click in Mozilla Firefox opens a new tab. However, when ctrl-clicking on the page numbers of a thread, , it just switches to that other page. I'd expect this to work consistently to other links on the site. Right click - open link in new tab does work.

The order that my games are displayed in seems to change randomly. I think it's supposed to be latest post, but some stale games sometimes jump to the top of the pile.

I love that each Topic allows you to add information at the very top of it (visible when viewing threads in that topic). However, I would love even more if you could add this ability to every thread too. GMs could track details of a party, and keep a better grip on when resources are spent (or ticking down). Things like current HP, ongoing spell effects, how many of a certain item/power usage they have left, etc. All kinds of useful information could be kept here! (Yes, you could argue that the GM can just repost that stuff, over and over, but it gets tiresome and sometimes I don't always clone the correct post with the latest details.) Below is a mockup:

Is it possible for the site to remember the visibility of dice? Its usually not a big problem but sometimes a thread will have a LOT of dice in them when really makes the page stretch out, I usually hide the dice that i don't need to see, but then when i revisit the page they are back. Its good that dice are visible by default because otherwise you might miss that hey are there at all, but if it remembered what dice were hidden that'd be amazing.

When using the Source option when editing a post, is there any way to make it so that it starts you at the very top of the post rather than dragging you all the way to the bottom? It's just a little annoying (OK, more than a little, at least for me) having to constantly scroll up to the top, especially given how much longer posts are in that format. It can also be a bit disorienting given what one normally expects when editing a post, which defaults to the top.
