It's not an exceptionally sophisticated mod, but it did need some tinkering to make the locking per-user specific
GM / DM creates a session and runs /claim, this tells the board who the owner is.
Players can connect and add their own drawings / icons. They will automatically be attached to the user. Alternatively, the GM / DM can use /give <name> to assign an element to a user.
/roll <notation>Rolls a dice publicly, with notation generally from: https://dice-roller.github.io/documentation/guide/notation//dmroll <notation>Rolls a dice privately/clearClears the chat (locally)/wor/whisper<user><message>allows you to whisper to another user/takeAssigns a selected element(s) to the user running the command/give <user>Assigns the selected element(s) to the user specified by the command/set <attribute> <value>Assigns an attribute to each of the selected elements/setr <attribute> <notation>Allows you to assign attributes to the selected elements, with a roll. It will roll for each element (this makes it easy to roll HP for a few tokens at the same time)./unset <attribute>Removes an attribute from selected elements/mod <attribute> <notation>Allows you to modify an attribute by a roll. It will roll for each element (this makes it easy to roll HP for a few tokens at the same time).
When you use /roll <notation>, you are able to refer to stats from the elements you have selected, for example,
If I wrote /roll d20+STR, as shown in the image, it will pull STR from the selected element, and roll d20+4
If you use /set name <some-name>, it will make it easier to refer to the element from the stats, and will show up in the dice roll if you used attributes.
If you reference stats from your rolls, and have multiple elements selected, it will roll the dice for each selected element, making it simpler to run encounters.
The app hosted at excalidraw-d20.netlify.app, and supports the same features as mainline Excalidraw:
- 📡 PWA support (works offline).
- 🤼 Real-time collaboration.
- 🔒 End-to-end encryption.
- 💾 Local-first support (autosaves to the browser).
- 🔗 Shareable links (export to a readonly link you can share with others).
We'll be adding these features as drop-in plugins for the npm package in the future.
