    Dice

    It would be really cool if my players could see my dice when i roll them instead of just being shadows.. is there a way this is/can be implemented? Part of the fun of rolling dice is being able to show them off.

    No, the DM dice are never shown, only as shadows. Just like at a real table where the players wouldn't see your dice behind the DM screen.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    Options -> Chat: Show GM rolls -> on

    Had a discussion with my players about that this week. Or you can roll "as shadows" and reveal the roll by clicking the middle mouse button. It´s how i handle it as i can decide what to show and what not.

    I think the OP want’s the players to see the actual dice roll. Not just the result.

    I figured as much.
    The actual dice roll will be shown when “Show GM rolls“ is “on“.
    It just has to be activated under Options as i wrote in the first line you quoted 😉

    No, they won't This option is just about showing the roll results made by the GM The physical dice will still be a shadow (you can test that via joining yourself if you want )

    *slaps his forehead* Now i get it. Thanks for pointing it out to me...
    Time for bed. I didn't see the problem that way as for me the “shadowy“ effect means the DM rolls his dice... Perhaps there should be an option for DM dice effects. (Thunder & lightning, skulls, something like that) ��

    yeah,, ok thanks guys.. it would still be nice to be able to turn the shadow function on or off, there are instances at my real table that i don't always roll behind the screen and this would be like that,, anyway, thanks for the input
