    Need Technical Help on Dice and Formatting

    Need Technical Help on Dice and Formatting:

    1. I am going to run a game which depends on dice rolls. Since I am not a player and would not benefit from cheating -- fabricating fake dice rolls -- I was simply going to roll dice at home and tell the players what came up.

    However, I would rather use an automated dice roll program or something or another that is on the web. Is there such a thing?

    2. I have seen column charts in RPs here before, but now that I am searching for one, I can't find one!! I want to see how the code and formatting works, for use in my own RP.

    Can someone send me a link? Other players here have taught me so much about using hiders, spoilers, etc.; if I can learn charts/graphs, I'd be tickled pink.

    Thanks,
    That Guy

    No code has to be inserted here.

    ^
    Is that what you are referring to?

    Code: [TABLE*] Example
    ITEM ITEM ITEM
    ITEM ITEM ITEM
    ITEM ITEM ITEM
    NO NO NO NO[/TABLE*] (Without asterisks)

    There are numerous online dice rolling programs online. There's one which is available as a plug-in for windows based skype clients even.

    Here is the link to the official Wizards D&D online dice roller

    And here's another one designed for various dice based games.

    and yet another online dice roller


    btw I found all of these within 30 secs by googling If you're looking for more than click this link

    If you're looking to code one yourself simply choose your favorite programming language and look up random number generators for it.
