From Order of the Dice

Roll real dice. Bring every result online.

A physical dice tower that reads your real rolls and shares the results directly with your Roll20 game.

Order of the Dice is a team of tabletop players and creators building tools that keep the physical rituals we love at the heart of online play.

Late pledges are still available

What it is

Physical dice for virtual adventures

The Vision Dice Tower uses computer vision to identify the die type and result, then shares the completed roll with your online game. It preserves the feel, sound, and anticipation of physical dice while making remote play more connected, beginning with Roll20.

How it works

  1. 1Roll the dice you love

    Drop your physical dice through the tower just as you would at an in-person table.

  2. 2The tower reads the result

    The camera and computer-vision software identify the die type and completed roll.

  3. 3Everyone sees the roll

    The recognized result is shared with your Roll20 game and logged like a digital roll.
