Cube hoarding is a typical interest amongst Dungeons and Dragons gamers, however I’m betting most gained’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 want to play tabletop roleplaying video games straight out of 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 “Superior Fight” options comparable to rolling as much as 12 cube directly, and D20s with benefit or drawback (a flowery approach 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 — generally known as a “important failure” or “important success” respectively in D&D.
“We wished a enjoyable animation whereas rolling, but additionally an total subdued look so you may ‘take the sport with you’ and even put on the watch on the workplace,” Timestop says in its blog describing the design process. “We included day and date problems with a perpetual calendar so it was nonetheless a sensible timepiece.”
Pricing begins at $99 and is on the market in three colours: black, orange, and stainless steel. Transport begins subsequent yr, with inventory accessible for supply in both January or February.
One function you gained’t discover on the Timestop D-20 is an alarm, as a result of alarms “aren’t enjoyable,” in response to its creator. In any other case, it’s water resistant, contains 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 unsure what number of fireball spells could be thought-about typical, but it surely definitely gives a extra distinctive approach to play than conventional cube or digital dice-rolling apps.
