Roll20 Tip 💡 Quickly label areas on your map with this dice hack! Here’s how: 1️⃣ In the VTT, open the Settings Tab and turn on Advanced Dice (✔️). 2️⃣ Then, roll and drag the die result directly onto the map. 3️⃣ To set the die to another number, right-click → Multi-Sided → Choose Side. 4️⃣ To change colors, just swap your player color and roll again! ✨ Use different dice shapes or colors to mark specific things—like d20s for numbered rooms, d6s for random encounters, or d4s for traps.
