Next time just put it here:

puts "How many dice do you want to roll?"
roll = gets.chomp
num_rolls = roll
y = 0
x = y.to_i + 1
while x <= roll.to_i
puts "Roll " + x.to_s + ": " + rand(max=6).to_s
end

Take out the gets.chomp:

roll = '12' # gets.chomp

that lets you work on the loop without entering over and over again.

then either fix your while loop by incrementing: x += 1

or use an each loop (which is truly the Ruby way):

  (0...roll.to_i).each do |x|
     puts 'etc'
   end
