My journey into the world of Dungeons & Dragons began in 2024. As part of a group of misfits scattered across the globe, my first experiences were entirely digital. However, after having a couple of in-person sessions—and dabbling in the tactical thrill of Warhammer—I had a lightbulb moment.
Digital dice rollers are fast. They are accurate. They are also, somehow, totally beside the point. You can't fudge a roll you didn't make. You can't crit-cackle at a number a server picked for you. You can't pass your lucky d20 across the screen to a friend who needs it.
It started with a simple webcam pointed at a felt tray and a few weekends of deep-dive computer vision tinkering. Before we knew it, DiceCam was reading our rolls into our VTT chat faster than any player could type them.
We are now building DiceCam for everyone—every die, every VTT, and every chaotic table of friends scattered across timezones who still want to hear that beautiful, rhythmic clatter of plastic on the table.
