I've noticed that there are lots of folks out there who occasionally want to perform rolls on Reddit. There have been a few roll-bots that have been created, but most of them are basic.

At Roll20 (where I'm the lead programmer), we've already developed a robust library that can handle many different types of games and systems, including advanced mechanics like groups and penetrating dice.

I've always wanted to create a Reddit bot just to see how it works, so I thought this was a good way to bring the rolling of Roll20 to reddit for play by post.

Using the RollMe bot is simple. Just include double-bracketed roll expressions anywhere in your comment (note: doesn't currently work for text posts, only comments in posts), and then make sure to mention the username of the bot -- like so: +/u/rollme -- anywhere in the comment (the very end works just fine). RollMe will reply to your post within a few minutes with the results of your rolls.

This is brand-new and I've never written a Reddit bot before, so please let me know if you run into any issues or bugs. And let me know if there's more I can do to make the formatting of the results easier to read.

I'll post a few examples as comments to this post to get the ball rolling.

Thanks!

I've tried /u/rollme [[1d20]] And it keeps saying no valid rolls available

I look like a dumbass in my thread trying to roll, why is this not working? I've tried it literally every single way.

[[1d20]] + /u/rollme

Test roll

[[1d20]] u/rollme

[[52d52]] + u/rollme

Feel free to reply here to test out the bot. It's not rate-limited on this subreddit. Reference of supported rolls: https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference

Want to see if it not responding because of number of rolls in call comment or just in general

[[1d20]] +u/rollme

[[1d50]]
