I was paging through your system and i would first off like to say, i love this program, its very good for what you are attempting to accomplish and thus suits my needs. So i will get to the point.

Would it be possible to program into the system dice sets for specific systems, as the D20/Old school D&D like systems are taken care of, could you add white wolfs d10 success system or Exalteds d10, which instead of adding the results check to see if the dice make a certain requirement and mark them as a success. EX World of Darkness roll 4d10 with a difficulty of 6, results 4 5 8 9 so two successes.

or Shadowruns system d6's 4d6 3 4 5 6, the six allows another roll and is added onto the second.

Contact me for more information.

Thanks a bunch.

Suggestion: System Specific Dice

Im not sure what you are getting at. The program generates a random number like any dice would. Even non-existant dice, like 1d7. You can type out "/roll xdy(+/-)z" and it will roll said dice.. for example, lets say for some reason I am playing a system built off of the game Vagabonds Quest (found at netdragons.com) which uses a very odd dice system.. and my modifier for damage is 1d9+3. I would type "/roll 1d9+3"...

If thats not what you're getting at... then mayhaps this will help..

All the dice can be rolled in game, then you can interperit the results as you wish. So if you need to roll a dice pool of 4d6 and check the results vs a difficulty 4, then you roll 4d6, and take each individual roll and compare them to the difficulty...

As for implementing another dice system (such as the one in Whitewolf) seems a bit unnessecery as of now.. Tux is a busy man and has a few more important features to worry about.. *cough* battlemap *cough*... did you hear something? ahem..
