For game masters
Frostpunkt
The house dice game of Saloon Gloria in Firetown, as a digital table. Open it on a laptop or tablet when a scene lands at the bar, let your players roll against the house, and keep the night moving.
Runs in the browser with keyboard, mouse or touch. Needs WebGL. Nothing is installed and the bankroll is kept in your browser only.
Frostpunkt
Frostpunkt is what Firetown plays when the shift is over: three dice against the dealer, a stake on the bar, and the cold waiting outside. Ones are Frost and freeze a die. Sixes are Punkt and burn for twelve. Two Frost in one roll and the round is worth nothing.
The digital table is not a separate game. It is the saloon scene from Firetown (102 Wiki) (opens in a new tab) made playable in a session, so a game master does not have to improvise dice rules when the characters want to gamble.

How to run it in an adventure
- Set the scene. When your players enter Saloon Gloria, or any bar on the Dark Side that plays the house game, open the dice table on a screen everyone can see.
- Choose the stake. Pick one of the house stakes or type the amount in Kourou the scene calls for. The bankroll on the title screen is the character’s purse for this table; reset it between characters or sessions.
- Decide who plays the house. Leave the dealer on automatic and the app plays the house. Switch to I roll for the house when a non-player character is at the table and you want to roll and hold for them.
- Let the player roll. The player selects dice to re-roll and holds when they dare, exactly as they would with real dice. The log under the table reads out every roll, so nobody at the table has to lean in.
- Use the result. A lost stake is a debt to the house, a winning streak is attention the character did not want, and a Frostbite in the final round is a story. The table keeps the record; you decide what it means.
