That will launch the program and you're ready to roll dice. Just extract all the files to a single directory and run the "SWEotE-DiceRoller.exe". If you roll a result with Autoreduce enabled and see a Triumph, but no Success, then the Success was cancelled by a Failure. Triumph and despair remain very slight, even at 5 proficiency dice, there is a 42 chance of 1 or more triumph (asymmetrically true for despair). Custom storytelling dice not only let you see easily if you have succeeded or not, but provide opportunities to. Some minor notes: Since the Despair counts as a Failure and the Triumph counts as a Success, those extras are tallied in the score. As in our other Star Wars roleplaying games, Age of Rebellion and Edge of the Empire, the core mechanic of Force and Destiny is a skill check in which you roll a pool of dice to determine whether your action succeeds or fails. The program can autoreduce the result, so that all that is displayed is the final tally after the different symbols cancel each other out (Successes countered by Failures, Advantages countered by Threat) or left to show the full result of the roll to let the GM/Player decide. It doesn't use any kind of physics engine or pretty graphics to represent the dice, just a simple text field that shows the result from the simple random number generated results. There are no fancy backgrounds or clattering of rolling dice. I created this simple application in PERL using wxWidgets to create a very simplistic interface. Also available for iOS (Apple products) and Android for $4.99 is a dice rolling app that provides dice for Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, Star Wars X-wing Miniatures Game and "regular" polyhedral dice for other games (Pathfinder, D&D 4e, etc.). FFG was kind enough to include a set of sticker sheets in the Beta version of the rules, which had their own issues. The game system uses its own custom dice with unique symbols to handle the more cinematic or narrative style. With the release of Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) latest RPG, Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, comes another need for some players.
