There is an add-on for vBulletin that allows Players/GM's to roll dice within their post.

Forum Die Roller Code: [dice=x]#[/dice]

Chances of adding this to the site?

Not sure what dndgammer.com uses (that is where I got the idea)

Considering it is for a completely different forum system, probably not easily.

errr..

thought this was vbulletin.
I'll search for a phpBB mod.

What version is this site running?

the most recent 3.0.5. And why do you need a die roller in the forum posts? Other than for fun? I'm not seeing the use case here.

@Terl - I have not built and case and thought it would be obvious.
I've never played a play-by-post game where the GM/Player's could see the dice rolls.
A friend on dndgammer should me how it worked and I thought it would be a good mod for here.
I'll use it in the near future. (After getting the Online Gaming Layout finished)

All Your Mods Are Belong To Install. :lol:

Is there play by post on here? I've used more than a few forums in my time, and I don't think I've ever seen a die rolled on a forum. There are plenty of online die rollers out there. I think a few of them allow multiple users to see the result--i.e. you could send the result to the other gamer.
