The fix · all seven dice, one case
A DM's Problem, an Engineer's Fix
Dungeon Works began at a real table, run by a Dungeon Master who is an engineer at heart. Running a game means making roll after roll while holding the whole story in your head, and every break to hunt for the right die costs a little of that concentration.
The Dice Scroller started as a fix for exactly that. All seven dice laid out in front of the DM, always in the same place, ready to roll again and again without leaving the story. Spin, read, carry on. With one on the table, running a game felt lighter. The dice stopped being something to think about.
