Roll for Real
Your dice rolled on your online table
Free to use; subscriptions only for premium extras
Works today (free): Foundry VTT and Discord, including the same channel as Avrae (a popular Discord dice bot) - no subscription needed for your rolls to show up. RollSight Replay (a short clip inside Foundry) is an optional paid extra. Roll20, Owlbear Rodeo, and D&D Beyond are planned next.
You supply the camera. Phone, USB webcam, a desk document camera such as the IPEVO V4K, or our free 3D-print Dragon Rig files all work.
Keep your favorite dice. No special dice to buy. The more people play, the easier reads get for everyone.

How it works
Three steps: aim a camera, roll, and let your online group see the same numbers you do at the desk. The app is free to use; create a free account when you first open it.
Step 1
Point a camera at your dice tray
Phone, webcam, document camera (e.g. IPEVO V4K), or DIY Dragon Rig. You bring the camera; many options work. No hardware purchase from us required.
Step 2
RollSight reads the tray
The app watches the camera feed and reads each roll as it happens. Train your own dice once, then play.
Step 3
Your table sees the result
RollSight sends each roll to Foundry VTT or Discord today. More online tabletop apps are on the way.
Pick a camera that fits your desk
RollSight is software only - you pick the camera. Most people start with a phone on a stand or a webcam they already own: aim straight down, add a little light, and you are rolling in minutes. When you want a sharper overhead picture, a document camera like the IPEVO V4K or a DIY Dragon Rig are great next steps.
Phone + mount
Clamp or stand your phone over the tray. Works with iPhone on Mac and Android on Mac or Windows. A simple desk mount plus our walkthrough is enough for many tables.
USB webcam
Many players already own a 1080p webcam. Add a stable mount and aim it straight down at the tray - our webcam guide lists solid models and placement tips.
IPEVO V4K document camera
Plug-in USB document camera with a crisp top-down view, solid in dim rooms, and simple plug-and-play setup on Mac or Windows. Great when you want the clearest overhead shot without a DIY build.
Dragon Rig
Free files on Printables: print the dragon body, add a small USB camera and optional screen from our parts list, and you get a tray plus a built-in spot for results. Use any dice you like.
Tested & known to work great
- Phone on a mount
iPhone with Mac, or Android with Mac or Windows - where most new players begin.
- IPEVO V4K
High-resolution USB document camera; our top tested pick
- Dragon Rig (DIY)
3D-print from the free files on Printables
Would likely work well
- Recommended webcams
Logitech C920, C922x, Razer Kiyo Pro, Elgato Facecam, Anker PowerConf C200
- Small USB cameras with fixed focus
Tiny plug-in cameras can work if the tray stays bright and steady.
Won't be great
- Low-resolution or very old webcams
Below 720p or poor low-light performance
- Built-in laptop cameras
Usually fixed angle and too far from the tray
- Poor lighting conditions
Dim or uneven light makes reads unreliable; add a lamp or brighten the room for best results.

Why players use RollSight
Reading your dice and sending rolls to your game stays on the free plan. When something is a Champion or Party extra, we call that out. Honest notes on which games we support today and what is still on the way.
Your dice, your table
Use the sets you already own. Teach the app once and RollSight reads faces from the tray. No special shop-only dice required.
Shows up in your game
Foundry VTT and Discord work today, including posting next to Avrae in the same channel. Roll20, Owlbear Rodeo, and D&D Beyond are planned next - see the roadmap on this page.
RollSight Replay
Save a short clip of the dice leaving your hand and landing on the tray. In Foundry, players can tap to open the replay under the roll so the table can see what the camera saw. Champion and Party include online storage for replays.
See how your dice behave
Wonder if a die is streaky or fair? RollSight charts your results over time next to what fair dice would look like.
One link for your rolls
Share a personal page with stats from one night or your lifetime rolls so friends can see how the dice treated you.
A photo library that grows
Thousands of community photos of dice faces help reads stay steady. When you teach your set, you help the next person with a similar look.
Stream-ready camera
The same overhead view you use at the table can feed straight into OBS Studio, Streamlabs, or other streaming apps.
Gets smarter as you play
Quick corrections teach the app your lighting and dice. Your fixes also help the shared photo library so everyone benefits.
Connect to the game your group uses
Foundry and Discord are available now. Roll20, Owlbear Rodeo, and D&D Beyond are next in line.

Rolls without retyping
After you connect your game, RollSight watches the tray and sends each result for you. Roll at the desk and let the app handle the typing so everyone online sees the same numbers.
Show the tray on stream
The same overhead view that reads your dice can go straight into Twitch, YouTube, or common streaming apps - as if it were a regular webcam. Our OBS Studio guide walks through a simple scene setup.
View Streaming GuideEveryone makes it better
Each time you fix a misread or train a new set, the whole community gets a little sharper. More tables mean smarter reads for the next person with similar dice.
Dice photos in the library
Crowdsourced from real tables
Rolls read so far
Climbing as more groups play
Share photos
Save photos of your dice faces so the next person with a similar set can start closer to accurate reads.
Teach your dice
Walk through a short on-screen flow so the app learns odd fonts, symbols, or custom molds you care about.
Benefit
Your corrections ripple outward: fewer double-takes at the table and faster setup for the next player with a lookalike set.
One shared library of dice faces
Think of it as a photo album every player adds to. Your sessions grow the library, and the library makes the next session faster for you and for anyone rolling similar dice.
Built together. Your training time pays forward.
Roll for real - start free
The RollSight app is free to download and use with a non-expiring account - connecting to Foundry and Discord is included. When you want shareable online stats, streaming helpers, and other premium tools, compare Champion and Party (with a trial when checkout is on) on the pricing page.
