A Free Online Initiative Tracker for D&D

RollInit is a free combat tracker and dice roller for Dungeons & Dragons 5e and other tabletop RPGs. Run initiative order, hit points, and conditions from one screen while your players follow along live on their own devices — at the table or over a video call.

Everything You Need to Run Combat

Real-Time Initiative Tracking

Roll initiative with advantage support, drag to reorder, and advance turns and rounds. The turn order syncs live to every player's phone, tablet, or laptop the moment it changes.

Full Combat Management

Track HP, temporary HP, armor class, and conditions for every combatant. Dying characters stay in the order for death saves, and monsters can be hidden from players until they strike.

Built-In Dice Roller

Roll d4 through d100 with modifiers, shared with the table or kept private as the DM. Prefer real dice at the table? Physical dice mode lets you type in the results instead.

Prep Encounters in Advance

Build multiple encounters before game night — the ambush, the boss fight, the escape — and switch between them mid-session without re-entering a single monster.

No Accounts, No Installs

Nothing to download and no sign-up for you or your players. Create a session, share a six-character join code, and everyone is in from any web browser.

Free and Open Source

RollInit is completely free with no ads, no premium tier, and no locked features. The source code is on GitHub — bug reports and contributions are welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is RollInit really free?

Yes. RollInit is a completely free, open-source initiative tracker and dice roller. There are no ads, no paid tiers, and no features behind a sign-up wall.

Do my players need to create accounts or install anything?

No. RollInit runs entirely in the browser. Players join with a six-character code, and the DM gets a private link — no accounts, downloads, or installs for anyone.

What game systems does RollInit work with?

RollInit is built with D&D 5e in mind, but it works for any game with rolled initiative and hit points — Pathfinder, older D&D editions, and most d20-style RPGs.

Can players see monster HP and hidden enemies?

Only if you want them to. The DM can hide monsters from the player view entirely and choose whether players see monster health bars.

We roll physical dice at the table — can we still use it?

Yes. Turn on physical dice mode and enter the rolls you make at the table, while RollInit handles the turn order, HP, and conditions on screen.

How do I get back to my game later?

Bookmark the private DM link created with your session. Sessions persist, so you can prep encounters during the week and pick up where you left off on game night.
