TechDice - a Dice roller for Technoir

Technoir dice

Technoir is an RPG that uses six-sided dice for its resolution mechanic. The dice pool consists of several types of dice:

• Action dice: The player rolling gets a number of Action dice equal to their rating in the applicable Verb.
• Push dice: The player starts with three available Push dice. The player can gain or lose them during play. The player can choose to add Push dice to the pool based on using an applicable positive adjective, object, or tag.
• Hurt dice: The player must add hurt dice to the pool for every negative adjective they have.

The dice pool is then rolled. Any Hurt dice cancel out Action dice or Push dice with the same number showing. The highest number remaining is the result. If there are multiple dice remaining showing that number, the result is .1 higher (to break ties).

Dice rolling syntax

The dice rolling syntax is:

!tech [Verb] push [Push] hurt [Hurt]

The push and hurt modifiers can be dropped if they are 0.

Future work

In the future, the bot could also track push dice inventory for players.
