Cube hoarding is a typical pastime 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 consists of all of the dice-rolling options it is advisable play tabletop roleplaying video games immediately out of your wrist on the push of a button.

It’ll additionally show particular icons when a D20 rolls a 1 or a 20 — often known as a “important failure” or “important success” respectively in D&D.
“We needed a enjoyable animation whereas rolling, but additionally an total subdued look so you might ‘take the sport with you’ and even put on the watch on the workplace,” Timestop says in its weblog describing the design course of. “We included day and date problems with a perpetual calendar so it was nonetheless a sensible timepiece.”

One characteristic you gained’t discover on the Timestop D-20 is an alarm, as a result of alarms “aren’t enjoyable,” in line with its creator. In any other case, it’s waterproof, encompasses 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 undecided what number of fireball spells could be thought of typical, nevertheless it definitely provides a extra distinctive approach to play than conventional cube or digital dice-rolling apps.
