Nick, I swear that you are responsible for like 75% of the APIs that I run in my game!

Nick, you keep coming up with amazing new functions for roll20! You're a game-changer!

If I could give this video more than one like I would! Thank you for the help!

Thank you again Nick for another useful video.

Dang! That's pretty nice ... I guess I have to start using APIs now, lol

Suddenly, this morning, some macros stopped working. The common culprit appears to be that each macro starts with an !rt, so I'm guessing its the RecursiveTables API script. I re-strarted the API Sandbox, no change. I rolled back to version to 0.2.4 in case The Aaron is troubleshooting the most recent version, no change. So now I turn to Nick O. :)

Great video! ...but now im kind of curios what your "go-fish"-tables are and how you use them in-game? =) I have been thinking of implementing some quick rules & macros for hunting & foraging and perhaps gathering herbs for the players to use when they travel. I dont want it to bog down the game so it has to be quick. Like a macro were you get the question "How many days to you travel?" and then generates what you find, if any. The players skills should be involved ofc. the higher skill, the better chance to find something. So if you already have a macro for something like that, would you mind sharing it?

Hi, I really liked this video. If anyone else is trying to do the same thing I did, i.e. have a macro that asks which table to roll from, then I will put the syntax for one that I made based on this video below: !rt[Delimiter:BR] /w gm &{template:default}{{name=Random Encounter}}{{The players encounter:=[[?{how many rolls?}t[Random-?{Table?|encounter|other tables}]]]}} This will ask you how many rolls, that is a query for how many treasures you would like to generate. Then it will ask what table to roll on. As long as all tables are called "Random-" and then something else the macro will work. In this case, the table that I have created is called "Random-encounter", the "other tables" is a placeholder. This is where you put the last part of the name, so for a treasure table called "Random-treasure" you put treasure there. You can then obviously put as many tables as you want in the macro. Thanks so much for the video!

Hi Nico. I've been following you a lot and you've helped me a lot with your videos. I hope it continues like this. I have a question. I am playing a wild wizard and would need a macro that rolling a 1d100 gives me a random effect of wild magic on a specially created table. Can you help me? Do you have a link for a created macro? Thanks again. 😉

Nick, how many API scripts is it okay to run in a single game? Do they interfere with the speed of gameplay? How many do you use? BTW, thanks for all the scripts - I use about 5 of them.

Nick, this is really late after this video has been uploaded but I've found it super helpful but had a question. Can you call on another table through a random die roll? I have a a table that's calling upon another table and the scenario says to roll 2d4-1 times on the second table. I've tried using [[[2d4-1t[table-name]]] but that syntax doesn't work. Is there another way to do this? In your example you call on the second table a set number of time (3 in your case) but a random number in there would be super nice. I hope you see this message and can help (or if anyone in comments knows if it can be done I'd appreciate it). Thanks.

this is awesome, is there a way to make it work with the treasure hoard table for example. like one line says 2d6 gems and roll 1d6 times on magic item table a. is there a way to make it roll the number of gems, roll how many times to roll on magic item table and give the results of rolling on the magic item table in one macro?

Hey Nick, found this video extremely helpful and so succinct! Was wondering if you had any idea what I might be doing wrong with my macro. As I understand it the latest version of recursive tables (0.2.5) allows for icons in the rollable table to be show using [showicons|iconlabels:on] but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Have looked through the forums but can't seem to find the answer. Current macro is... !rt [ShowIcons|IconLabels] /w gm &{template:default}{{name=A hush comes over the swamp as}}{{you are attacked by=[[1t[Swamp-Random-Encounters]]]}} Although I have tried [ShowIcons:on|IconLabels:on] and various other combinations. It's driving me crazy not being able to figure this out.

I am getting an error with this script. !rt It says I have an API error when using !rt. Any help would be nice. Thank you.

In the video you use default template. What are some other templates? I tried looking some up but I was unsuccessful.

Hello Nick, So I'm not getting the pretty results you demonstrated in the video. When I run the following !rt[Delimiter:BR] /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Random Treasure}}{{You Found=[[[[2d4]]t[250gp-Art]]] 250gp [[[[1d6]]t[MITA]]] Magic item}} it doesn't break the results up into lines, rather I just get a run-on sentence. Any ideas?

I have installed the script but it keeps being disabled. It says there is a SyntaxError : Expected “[“ but “r” found. I have deleted and reinstalled. Same issue. It had been working previously. I don’t know what has changed? Any advice?

GASP! Amazing! But wait, I have a question. I use tables like this for random encounters, while adding some flavour text. And the way it looks in my macro is like this: /desc As the party traverses the foreboding swamp, they encounter [[1t[encounter-table]]]. But if I use the recursive table API, would I be able to use that same descriptive text (/desc)?
