Anyone who's ever played a tabletop role playing game (such as Dungeons & Dragons) knows how complex combat can become. Did I miss? Did I hit? How much damage? What kind of damage? Do I have any penalties or bonuses? In short - it winds up being a lot of math that can bog down an intense combat scene... and that's why we have "Attack!", making RPG combat a whole lot easier. Just choose the options based on your current situation, roll the dice when prompted, and let the app figure it out for you! The best part is "Attack!" is fully compatible with the D20 system, the most widely-used RPG rule set out there. And even if "Attack!" can't satisfy your combat requirements, you can still switch over to Hero Mode and roll whatever dice you need!
This is the dice bag of the 21st Century! All the common dice types are included - just pick your favorites, give them a shake, and watch them roll! An app for Nokia Symbian phones.

"Attack!" Preview
"Attack!" is one of the new game modes in Dice Hero 2.0! While attempting to make a five-minute preview video of Dice Hero 2.0 in its entirety, the file became corrupted. We were able to salvage all the footage of "Attack!" in action, however, so we might just be releasing a preview video for each of the five game modes.

Mmmmonday!
When you wake up Monday morning, May 9th, 2011, two things will become apparent to you: You're still alive, and DAMMIT CARL, ENOUGH WITH THE WEEDWHACKER! Or maybe that's just me.
What's important here is that Monday, we release Dice Hero v2.0! "Gee willickers," you say, "That sure sounds spiffy!" Well you're right, hypothetical Beaver Cleaver sound-alike reader! We've added two new game modes, Loaded Dice (a drinking game adapted from King's Cup) and Attack! (a utility to help with tabletop RPGs such as Dungeons & Dragons). We've improved most of the dice animations (a constant work in progress), gave the engine a little upgrade, added some more articles to our Wiki, allowed for additional backgrounds, and...
Made a Facebook page. We're soooo 2007, y'all.
Here's to Monday, where 'M' stands for "May we have an A in the class now, Professor Levine?"
(PS - The lady that weedwhacks at 8am every Monday at my apartment is not named Carl. But it reeaaaallly bugs her when you call her that. Kinda like how weedwhacking at 8am really bugs sleep-deprived software engineers.)
