Hey Lord of Kaos, Skorm brought up adding a dice roller, so I looked into how it could work on AnimeBase. Is that something staff would consider for the RP forums?

Members could click a dice button beside the post editor, choose their dice and any allowed modifier, and have the result attached to the post. For example, a D20 roll of 14 with a +3 bonus would display a total of 17. Just an example, obviously, the RP rules would determine what that result means.

There’s a XenForo add-on called [DD] Dice Roller that supports custom dice, rules and forum permissions:

It requires [DD] Core, and whoever handles installation would need to check compatibility first. I’d also want to check how it handles rerolls and edited posts so the results stay trustworthy.

I made a separate working demo to show the idea. Could something like this be worth trying in one RP forum?

I would love this. I don't even really want to be on Discord... So if this could become a thing, I'm all for it. Especially as someone who needs rolls for my core abilities.

I agree. This could help improve the RPing on the site significantly. The site needs to be more convenient for all users.

This would be a nice thing in general. It may also encourage more RP in general outside of the NRP such as DnD like text based games

My thoughts exactly. It will expand the forum to be more inclusive.
