OK, next requests, and these get increasingly difficult to program, I'm guessing, but I'm a dreamer:
"Roll twice, combining" where it shows 2 results (or possibly more, if it keeps getting that one, although if someone tried to break it with an infinite loop, it would need something to prevent that or a warning in the documentation that time loops are bad)
On a related note, and this might relate to the previous request on the backend: let the text of a math entry be another table, so you could click to get 1d12 [turtle doves, golden rings, lords-a-leaping, etc.] (My disability traits tables need this to make them a 1-click result list.)
For my Fantasy Magical Feature Generator, I'd like to be able to give the results parameters, so you choose urban or rural and enter the population, and it calculates (rounding) the number of features. (Or I you just give it the number of features & do the math myself — easier), and it generates the list with a single click.
Table chooser, like a popup or bullets. Maybe this can be done with fancy styling or javascript. I'm thinking about creating an NPC generator. Choose a race from the list, and it generates a name.
Allow html in the results. The traits table above uses wiki code, and I'd like to format the results with that code to make the result clickable. (Or a class choice randomly generates starting equipment, or even an img src)
Combining all these features could allow for 1-click character generation, spell lists, etc. I know that's beyond the scope of what you had in mind for this, but it would drastically expand its usefulness.
These are all great ideas and feature suggestions!
For 'roll twice and combine' - that would be tricky to implement programmatically, but I really like the idea of it and will look into how I can make that work. I've added an issue on GitHub to work on this.
It sounds like your second request can already be solved if you create another table that has various math options, then you set an item in your second table to pull from that one. Perhaps I'm not understanding your needs there fully.
For the fantasy magical feature generator, you could create separate tables for each thing, then a 'master' table that pulls from each of those. I don't think you could do that with one-click though - it would likely need to be at least two separate roll tables. I would need to think on that some more to see what would make the most sense.
You can have a tabbed interface for choosing tables perhaps - that's what I did for the Kiwi Acres toll tables. The tabbed UI comes from a different plugin.
I can certainly allow HTML in the results - for security and formatting reasons I would likely limit it to certain tags, so I'm thinking it would be links, images, and maybe one or two other things. I've created a GitHub issue for this too.
This all sounds great and would be neat enhancements - I'm not sure how I could build all of it, but I'm sure I can find a way! Thanks for your feedback and for sending in these requests.
I love this. I've been looking for something like this for years and have spent many hours trying to make it happen. I am so excited! Tried the standard edition and immediately bought the full edition.
Not a GitHub user, so here's my list of "How do I do this" or feature requests that I can't find so far:
Import a table like this:
d6
Body Part
1-2
Head
3
Shoulders
4
Knees
5-6
Toes
[Compatible with - (hyphen) or – (endash) as range indicators]
Disable animation (Some people have disabilities that cause nausea from animations like this)
I'm sure I'll have more as I go. I have a lot of tables to convert.
There is not currently a way to disable the animation, but I can definitely add that in an publish an update as I think it would be valuable to have that option.
To import a table like that, you would need to add each option as a line in the import textbox and the click import. For something like this where you have an item being a result for more than one number (as with 'head' and 'toes' in your table), you will need to add them to the table as many times as needed.
So for the table you indicated here, you would put this in the import textbox:
Head Head Shoulders Knees Toes Toes
That would create a d6 table with all the correct probabilities.

I would love to have the ability to put a number next to each result and repeat the number.
That way I can get multiple things like 1d20 gold, 1d20 silver, 1 random gem.
so it would look like
1 1d20 gold
1 1d20 silver
1 see gem table

HTML: Links, Images, some basic formatting like line breaks. That way it could be like
Dragon (link), (break)
Image of Dragon (break)

OK, I had a hunch. Hmm…I bet ChatGPT could convert my existing tables to this format for me.
Thanks. And kudos again.
