Good morrow citizens of DnDR,
I was wondering if any knew of a good free dice rolling program. I have crafted my own using DarkBASIC but its clunky and is just a black screen with white font and you have to manually subtract or add or multiply or w/e by yourself without its help. I should go back and recraft it but I want to find one already or I am going to just make a new one in Visual Basic. But does anyone know of one? I need it for my IRC campaign if I start one, it all depends on the feedback I get fro mthe people at the forum I posted at.

Would an IRC dicebot do? Check out this topic ( http://www.dndresour...?showtopic=1202 )for instructions about calling a dicebot into your group on IRC. This only works for the PsionicBlast server though ( chat.psionics.net ).

it could but we are using our own irc server that my webhost has up so I guess not. If I can find one that would work on our server then yeah.

Um, any program that doesn't require Java? My laptop can't run it, and that's the thing I use for my sessions.

I have a couple I use, some very small and simple, some more full featured. Perhaps some of these would be useful.

Watch this game. An online game with heroic character can-do. Everyone’s seen them in films…others have read about them in novels. This never-before witnessed level of software ingenuity brings all your favorites, and more, to life! It’s a fully developed dice program with unprecedented graphic quality and the most powerful die expression parser I’ve ever encountered. Just imagine…Herr E. Long the Sturdy wields a magical longsword that delivers a limb severing (1d4 + 2)d12 + (1d4 + 2)8 points of damage(representing his spinning toss attack). ONLY VEGETO’S BONES easily makes Herr E. Long spring to life without interfering with your role play!

P.S. Use the custom die to mimic your favorite die from flyingbuffalo!

I have a nice one that also includes like cards and other dice sets... I dont have it with me but I am sure I can dig it up... it is set up to run on any IRC server and is pretty nice after set up... I used it back when I hosted that one DND session over the net and it works extremely well.. you just have to have two usernames open in the IRC chan for it to work... (one as DM and one as a "Dicebag", that is if you want to roll yourself...)

For handy gaming on the go try this java program for your cell phone:
http://www2.getjar.c...ducts/2212/DICE
or from your cell phone
wap.getjar.com then quick download and the number is 2690
Should work for any phone capable of using java.
I use it and it works well in the car or on the bus. Just enter in the number of dice and the number of sides and it will generate a result
