Roleplay section.

There is now a very, very basic dice roller available: it's the third icon in the icon bar above the smilies when posting.

It automatically creates
[roll][/roll]

tags, which could be filled as follows:

[roll]2d6[/roll] - Roll 2 6-sided dices and sum up the results

[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 2, 6, total 8[/blockquote]

[roll]1d20[/roll] - Roll 1 20-sided dice and publish the result

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20 : 14, total 14[/blockquote]

As far as I have seen, there is no convenient way to make this more cheat-proof and in all honesty, I don't see anyone on the team spending larger amounts of time on this either so, for now, please just tell me whether you'd like to give this a try or not.

Rolled 2d12 : 11, 9, total 20

interesting...


So it gets the "tempered with" message after editing?  That is as cheatproof as it gets I guess?

Rolled 10d20 : 15, 2, 7, 14, 8, 1, 2, 12, 16, 15, total 92

So any edit will result in the warning?
Yup, apparently.

There is only one issue with rolling and not knowing what you rolled until you post. You have to end your post with the roll.

For example, I couldn't say, "Fires Autocannon/5 at the Atlas, striking it in the head and blasting the entire lower jaw off." I'd have to say, "Fires the Autocannon/5 at the Atlas."

However, that means the Moderator/GM can then explain what happens. Sounds like it would work out pretty well, actually.

So, I'm interested, but never done forum RP, so I'll have to watch and learn a little before I can get the flow.

Since it doesn't seem to be possible to cheat by editing out the warning and just posting the roll again, I'd say this should be good enough

Easy way to solve the dice roll issue is to use IRC, that sourceforge project looks really good too.
