What is RoD?

Rod of Discord is a comprehensive D&D helper bot for Discord, intended for use with play-by-post campaigns, but can also be helpful for live campaigns.

Questions

How do I get this bot on my server?

Why does it say [BOT] next to my npcs and aliases?

  • I use webhooks to display chat with unique avatars and messages, so it's actually the bot saying it, not you.

Will you join my game?

  • Maybe? I definitely won't DM it!

Can I host it myself?

Can I pay you for this?

  • In lieu of a donation to me, maybe join or start a D&D game from our LFG section, and enjoy yourself!

I found a bug!
