Cydel, at a quick glance, will the mob dice be intergrated into the searches. I did a quick search of my previous dices, and noticed that the mob dice was not found at all. Other than that, I like your system a lot, its easy to use, and it takes cheating out of it. :)

 

Just a quick question with the looting dice, will the numbers be adjusted in the future as it currently shows d25 (according to the loot, col, materials guide) rules, but the loot dice is d20. I do understand that is not as important as getting the current dice system running in the short term, but hopefully thats on the radar somewhere down the road to take a look at.

That's intentional.  Its because there are lots of ways to get +LD which makes rolls above 20 possible. I'll have the MOB values added to the search results in future on the Perma roller.

Personally, I believe I've already thrown in my two cents on the matter but I'd to (re)state that I think that a dice system is rather necessary. There are times where I get a bad roll or something and on something I knew I would have hit but there's always that chance of failures(I might suggest later on for added realism we add fumbles but that's a thing for another time) It adds that sense of well, not everything is going to work out in your favor since last time I checked, in an rpg sense I know a lot of people who make characters and want to be the heroes, either that or the overpowering villains. If we didn't have a dice system sure people would be able to shape the fights how they want to but lets face it; NO ONE is going to unknowingly kill off a character(or themselves if they do the whole self-insertion thing) that they like playing as for plot reasons. Not unless they are truly dedicated to their plot and want to make the best story possible. With a dice system you have your moments of going "Well....Sh!t." on the other time you get those rolls that make you feel like a total badass. Excuse my crude language by the way, but still.

      All that being said, personally, I like the built in system and it is extremely rarely I have ever refreshed the page for a new roll. That within itself shows a flaw in the system as already previously stated by others. People are going to abuse or cheat in the system. So it may be necessary to actually use a third party dice roller so you can verify your rolls. However, I think that this whole honor system thing is most likely not going to work out, I still think it's worth a try. I know that the people I roleplay with over skype and the people I've met here don't do that. At least they don't while I'm over the line with them since I'm kinda a stickler about that. To finish this wall of text, I think that it's a necessity and it will help your writing if we keep one. It will let you develop how to write for different situations you didn't think of or you didn't plan for.
