New! Dice Roller is Installed

If you try to edit a post with a dice roll in it, the roll goes away and all you get is the command line.

Which is a very nice feature, btw.

Agreed. Without it, it would be worthless for gaming.

How exactly do you use this thing?

@Imperious:

How exactly do you use this thing?

It is groovy. If you have a small battle and are a competent typist you can type the code :mice xdy: and a random number will be generated. Howevre you must use dice instead of mice. x is the number of dice you want to roll and y is the number of sides on the dice or the range for which you need a random number.

Switch was trying to do some geeky D&D stuff and give a bonus to the random result.

LOL, yep it was indeed my AD&D game heritage that went into thsoe dice attempts.

But alas, AD&D appears to be passe, so it did not work

But I was able to work out the pairings for the Tournament anyway :-D

I’ve been using this and actually liking it more than frood.net in some ways - the results are there and saved in the forum immediately, and you don’t have to have as many windows/tabs etc. Also, even pretty complicated battles can be done fairly easily, ex:

(reliving my most glorious recent combat, killed 73 IPCs and lost 35 IPCs:)

Dice Rolling 21 6-sided dice:
2, 1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 6, 4, 2, 5, 6, 2, 2, 5, 2, 5, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2

The problem there is to distinguish what units are what… thus the multiple entries for various units.
