This digital D&D watch lets you roll a fireball from your wrist

Dice hoarding is a frequent pastime amongst Dungeons and Dragons gamers, however I’m betting most received’t have a digital watch of their assortment. Alongside displaying the time, day, and date, the Timestop D-20 contains all of the dice-rolling options you must play tabletop roleplaying video games straight from your wrist on the push of a button.

The watch permits the wearer to digitally roll a 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-, 20-, or 100-sided cube, alongside “Advanced Combat” options reminiscent of rolling as much as 12 cube without delay, and D20s with benefit or drawback (a fancy means of rolling two cube and taking both the upper or decrease outcomes). It’ll additionally show particular icons when a D20 rolls a 1 or a 20 — often called a “critical failure” or “critical success” respectively in D&D.

“We wanted a fun animation while rolling, but also an overall subdued look so you could ‘take the game with you’ and even wear the watch at the office,” Timestop says in its weblog describing the design course of. “We included day and date complications with a perpetual calendar so it was still a practical timepiece.”

Pricing begins at $99 and is accessible in three colours: black, orange, and chrome steel. Shipping begins subsequent yr, with inventory obtainable for supply in both January or February. 

One characteristic you received’t discover on the Timestop D-20 is an alarm, as a result of alarms “aren’t fun,” in accordance with its creator. Otherwise, it’s waterproof, options a backlit LCD show, and makes use of a replaceable coin cell battery that may last as long as three years with “typical use.” I’m undecided what number of fireball spells could be thought-about typical, but it surely definitely gives a extra distinctive method to play than conventional cube or digital dice-rolling apps.
