Developing a D-20 Watch for Tabletop Roleplaying Games

How much does it cost to create a custom LCD? Sensor Watch [1] has created a replacement Casio watch LCD for his replacement Casio module, and I can&#x27;t wait to get mine. The fact that he&#x27;s done several iterations of LCD prototypes means that it can&#x27;t be <i>that</i> out of reach, and yet I somehow doubt the price for qty 5 is going to be that attractive.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.crowdsupply.com&#x2F;oddly-specific-objects&#x2F;sensor-watch&#x2F;updates&#x2F;announcing-the-sensor-watch-pro-campaign-pre-launch" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.crowdsupply.com&#x2F;oddly-specific-objects&#x2F;sensor-wa...</a>

Pretty neat! I like the idea of an electronic device for tabletop dice rolling that isn&#x27;t a smartphone, something with more &#x27;tactile feedback&#x27; so to speak- more built-for-purpose and less of a distraction. Obviously you can just roll dice, but having the system-specific math automatically calculated based on the rolls can save so much time and keep the game moving. That&#x27;s partly why we&#x27;ve largely moved to VTTs (Foundry is excellent)<p>I&#x27;m not sure about the wristwatch form factor though, most dice rolls in TTRPGs are visible to everybody as they&#x27;re made, so I would&#x27;ve expected a device you can place in the center of the table so everyone can see the rolls (the exception being private DM rolls of course). Being system agnostic or programmable would also be really cool, but I can understand why a hobby project would just focus on the game the creators (and 99% of the TTRPG market) are playing.

This looks like such a fun product. Similar to another commenter, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s all that useful, since the tactility of the physical dice roll is such a big part of tabletop gaming (for many people at least). But to me, watch complications are not so much about utility as they are about being cool for its own sake.<p>I would <i>love</i> to see something like this made into a mechanical watch complication.

That thing is screaming for an accelerometer or something so you can shake your wrist to roll. Very cool.

This isn&#x27;t quite as purpose-built, but if you want dice on your wrist this WearOS project deserves to be shared:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;A31Nesta&#x2F;OptiDice">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;A31Nesta&#x2F;OptiDice</a>

This is really cool. I am curious though, did using the PineTime from Pine64 cross your mind as a way to handle the hardware? If so, what was the reasoning for not going that route?

I have been wanting to create my own watch, too. I&#x27;ve never made a physical product (as a SWE by profession). Any more detailed blogs that detail such processes?

I was really hoping this would be a mechanical complication when I clicked the link.

disappointed because there&#x27;s no information on the hardware (what kind of microcontroller is it using ?) or the software (is it custom ? is it using an OS ? is it written in C ?)

Cute idea.<p>Not a single photo of this from any other angle than straight-on, so I presume it&#x27;s very thick and that such off-angle&#x2F;oblique photos would be unflattering to the product.
