Cool, I'm working on it now. Here's a sneak peak. https://www.screencast.com/t/mf8WQgTN5

It'll be done in a day or two. I'll post here when it is.

Thanks it's working again now.

The medallion idea sounds really nice, since I'm currently DM'ing d&d 5e and looking for tools to help speed up some of the less interesting parts of the game.

I appreciate that the current tool shows the names and rolls on the right side of the screen as a reminder, but it would be nice if my players could input their character names instead of their steam names to appear there.

UPDATE: Well, It was a dumb mistake on my part, I saw it when I was trying to explain the bug in a forum post. =P I have updated the tool, fixing it.

Oh, another concept idea was to use medalions with a + and - button on them and a display showing their initiative modifier. The DM has a tablet which can spawn them for players or monsters, you put a name on them and the DM hits ROLL on their tablet. Any medalions out on the table get rolled. A DM could also set up monster medalions in advance, keeping them in bags and pulling them out as play goes on.

To have a version that posts all roll results, see my below comment on the 1 line of code to edit to make it happen =)

Secondly, I intend to make an updated version of this tool. I am on the lookout for ideas on how to clearly present ideas. My thinking was to use 2 notecards, one for players and one for creatures. You put a number and their name on each line, the number being their modifier. Then a central "roll" button to roll initiative on all of those options. If you (or anybody) has some better ideas, I'm open to them.

Finally, as for the bug, I confirmed I got the same thing. However, my code hasn't changed and I was unable to figure out why this is happening. By all accounts, it SHOULD be creating the roll button. But it isn't. I'm posting a bug report on the forums and will let you guys know if I figure out more.

I have a problem where the roll button is missing after i hit reset.
4 players and a GM, notecard still there. (Side note, I too would like a version that made monster rolls public in the notes)
Either way I can always just keep reloading new ones each initiative, thanks for making such a useful tool :)

Possibly. I've been considering improvement, but I think I'm waiting for some improvements to how we can display text. The notecards are pretty limiting, and the notebook is borked. Maybe I'll make a version where all results are printed onto the device using buttons, but then I need to worry about it going too long if you have a crazy amount of initiative going on, plus buttons show through hidden zones =/

I don't suppose you could update this to handle up to 10 seated players? I'm putting together a high capacity player table, but this counter (which is honestly the easiest to use such device there is) only handles up to 6.

super excited, man!

Neat idea, using the bold to track which line its on. I honestly forgot I had added "add an additional card" as a feature lol

I may circle back around to this and improve it in the future. Currently I've got a short list of backlogged projects I'm working on. The next which will be out by this weekend (its for table setups)

I am VERY interested in this! adding another card when first one is full is a wonderfull idea! ( and needed )

another idea for you, add a next turn button which would make the next line down have bold text. the first line would always start bold.

I really hope to see more from this, it is already the best on here!

u r the best

Script commented, although this is slightly older code for me and could be done better.

Pls comment code

I made this for a friend. He didn't want that information to be available to his players directly. But it is a very easy change. Go to line 229 where it says notecard.setDescription(notecard_print_string). Replace that line with setNotes(notecard_print_string)

Any reason why monster rolls aren't published to the notes section? could you make a version where they are? Very nice tool!
