Has any consideration been given to adding a dice roller to the forums to assist with PlayByPost games? I quick google search came up with this:

I have dice in my bag. They are very random. :P

An integrated dice roller could be fun, though a logging mechanism might be needed. :)

LOL , I have dice in my bag too- but the Android Dice roller can roll all 6 stats in 1 second. But I still prefer real dice! :D

I was actually inquiring about an integrated dice rolled for the forums here. I've seen other sites that have implemented a dice roller to facilitate PlayByPost games.

I'd love to see an integrated dice rolling system. Myth-weavers has a real nice one and if you try to "modify" it (by editing your post, etc.) it flags the roll.

This one, Dicemod, is "In beta" but seems to work for people using phpbb.

Looks like we both searched the same site for Dice mods.

There are a few PlayByPost boards that support dice rolling mods, one of which was mentioned above. I know of at least 3 others, but I don't want to post the links. Finding a LL game on those other sites is nigh impossible and I would rather play here anyway.

I second both of those points! It is hard to find LL/AEC games on other sites and I really love this community; super cool people here.

unseenservant has a great one, but ToniXX set it up as a separate side sorta. unseenservant.us and unseenservant.com but the roller is good and easy to integrate on the forums which are set up to mainly do PbP.
