Traveller RPG Die Roll Programs to Peruse

For the last week and a half or so, I've been working on a Windows die roll program for Mongoose Traveller. I wanted it to be dangerous, but not too dangerous. A KISS sort of app. It displays a graph. And it'll also speak, if you let it. But that's as complex a computer program I'll let it get for now.

The program has tested out fine on Windows XP/7/10. Don't know about it working on Windows 8 or not.

Anyway, there is a Mongoose version, as well as a Classic version, for download from my Google drive.

A new 0.8.0 (Beta) version has been added. Uses a combo box instead of a dial for difficulty setting.

ADDED:
A new 1.0.0 (Beta) version has been added for Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition.
