| Could we please enable it? Forumotion has instructions for turning it on in its FAQ page. We're going to need some D10's. If we don't want to enable the forum's dice roller, that's fine; there's online ones I could use, but publicizing the results for everyone would make it harder to fudge rolls. | |

But they are kinda cool. :3 | |

| The one for this game is an unobtrusive little option by the other assorted checkboxes that no-one uses anyway. When it gets used, an automated account set up by the admin (generally a dummy made for that purpose) rolls the dice and posts the results. | |

| Yes, a dice roller would be nice. I might run an RPG of my own here at some point, and I'd like the dice to be done without the possibility of lying. | |

| This is great, but these appear to all be d6's. I need at least one of those to be d10's. | |

| Any chance we can get the following:
d4 d6 d8 d10 d12 d100
Generally the script I see to roll them is /roll 1d6. Haven't done much with forums in a while though and never touched this before. | |

| Uh... why do we need so many different kinds of dice? I don't really play tabletop so I don't really know, but... | |

| Different systems use different dice. Exalted uses d10's only. DnD uses the various other types, which make up the standard set for RPG's.
We already have the d10, so we only need the other ones. | |

| d100s make certain games a lot easier, trust me. I've been wanting to do something percentile based for a while now.
EDIT: Also, anyway to make it easier to roll multiple dice? Let's just say that in some systems (here's lookin' at you, Shadowrun) you'll be rolling a LOT of one type of dice. Think I was rolling 8d8 for my Werewolf: The Wild West game. | |

| a d 100 is usually just 2 d10s. roll 1, that's the tens, roll the second, that's the 1 ones. (not 100% on how it works. I think a 10 on either is a 0, and if you get both 0s it's 100. not sure.) | |

| Just use the drop-down menus under "add reply" and change "dice rolls." | |
