A respinner, also called a respin hack, is a romhack that lets you easily respin game elements for a different gameplay experience.
The term “respinner” in this context was coined by clymax in 2026 to better differentiate such mods from randomizers, the vast majority of which are external, web-based or app-based randomizers rather than integrated, internal, or self-randomizers.
In addition, the term “repatcher” was also coined by clymax to refer to external randomizers.
Resetting the romhack and trying a new seed is analogized to respinning a roulette wheel to get a new result.
All known respinners are grouped by platform below. Not all are public mods; some are private mods.
Note that some of the detail in the tables are still being finalized and so are subject to change.

Note that roguelikes are not covered on this page but can be covered on a separate page.

Excerpt of the self-promo channel of an undisclosed Discord server:
That’s right, we now have a link graveyard of a self-promo channel.
Not only do stream VODs largely get deleted by Twitch in a matter of weeks, but the stream links don’t even link to the VODs in question.
If you’re a creator of high-effort videos like the one in the next picture, would you bother posting in such a channel?
Spend months making and editing your video, and within a matter of hours, your video is lost in a sea of going-live announcements. Yay!
Solutions for Discord Moderators
First, effort videos and stream plugs should never be in the same channel. Give each its own channel.
Second, in the channel for stream plugs, consider doing one of the following:
Only allow YouTube links in going-live announcements. YouTube livestreams double as the link to the eventual VOD. But this won’t work for Twitch-only streamers.
Require Twitch-only streamers to edit their going-live announcement with the Twitch VOD right after their stream ends. New problem: enforcement headache aside, this won’t work when most Twitch VODs expire.
Only let Twitch streamers plug their channel once. Basically, have a “stream channels” Discord channel, not a “streams” Discord channel.
Or, require them to delete all prior going-live plugs before posting a new one.
In addition, consider also limiting each streamer to a single plug per series. So if they are playing a long RPG that takes a hundred streams, they can only plug it once.
Finally, consider using a forum channel instead.
So, what do you think? What’s your Discord gripe? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord – where you won’t find such a link graveyard, of course.
