A downloadable mod

Enter the Juggler! And yes, I just used the Jester art. But I assure you that everything else is original!

Every character in Dicey Dungeons has their own unique "flow". The Warrior rerolls his dice to get them as high as possible and then uses them, the Thief splits his dice into smaller ones and uses those, etc.

In this mod, my goal was to create a new character with a new "flow". No bizarre rules or effects that you have to wrap your mind around, just a fun new way to play the game we all know and love!

The Juggler, well, juggles things. You'll find that all of your equipment is pretty bad, but the trick is, you get to use it several times per turn, and all of your equipment returns your dice (rerolled, that is). When you do it right, you'll be able to unleash a wave of hits that will whittle down your opponent's health while inflicting status effects to slow them down. In this way, he's kind of similar to the Jester!

Anyway, I don't want to spoil it too much. I'm really happy with how it turned out, and I spent quite a while balancing the episode, so it should be tricky but not too hard. I hope you enjoy!


Only one episode right now, but it's a good one! I don't expect anyone to spend too much time on it anyway. Any feedback and ideas are appreciated! (You'll see I have an idea for the second episode, but I haven't made it yet)

Known issues:

  • Game crashes after beating the episode. Any tips for fixing that would be greatly appreciated. But you can still feel good about beating it!
  • Silence is pretty debilitating. I removed Loud Bird and Banshee.
  • Thorns are rough too. Good luck with the Cactus.

Other than that, the mod is glitch-free, as far as I can tell! Let me know if any issues crop up.

1/12: Released new version which fixes several inconsistencies between upgraded and downgraded versions of equipment. Also added Juggling Clover! It will appear in shops.

Install instructions

In case you haven't played a Dicey Dungeons mod before, here's the simplest way I know how to install it...

Find the Dicey Dungeons folder. If you're on Steam, go to the game's properties, go to "local files",  and click "Browse..."

There should be a folder called "mods". Simply unzip the mod and put it in the mods folder.

Then, launch the game, hit the esc key to open the settings, click the big red MODS button, select "thejuggler", and click the big green "LOAD MOD(S)" button. You should be good to go!

Alternatively, you can create a "batch" file with the text "diceydungeons.exe mod="thejuggler" in it (just make a .txt file and change the extension to ".bat") and place it in the Dicey Dungeons folder to create a quick shortcut to open the mod. I think that's right. I only did it once.

Thanks for playing!
