I'm sure this has been dicussed before....but I was hopeing someone could recomend a dice generator that I can see from my online players...bonus points if it can do percentiles.

Are you playing in IRC?

no.....just over messenger baisically

None that I know of.

Could try something like IRC where there are plenty of dicebots to choose from.

heh...it would help if i had any idea what IRC was........(god I suck)

Thanks Lord NorDeth....it seems to be a capable generator, but i am really searching for something that lets me see my players results

I do not think messenger is going to give you this, unless you can actually share desktops with Messenger.

I will admit that I am quite retarded when it comes to....well ....anything computer related

I use this for my PbP games:

http://www.irony.com/mailroll.html

This allows your players to configure a roll and the results are emailed where ever they like i.e. to themselves and CC'd GM

It even allows you to follow a hyperlink to verify the roll was made as stated and that no hood-winkery has taken place.

No problems so far.

Its a program that lets you and your players run in realtime over the net. I've not used it but obviously have heard about it.

Yeah, if you are looking for a roller this is a good tool. It also has built in chat, allows you to share maps, etc. Best part is that its free.

Gametable is another useful proggy for this sort of thing. Has a playing surface where you can build maps, place markers for characters, etc. Fairly basic program, otherwise, but has a built-in dice roller.

A shareable whiteboard would be cool.

Groovy, thanks guys

And there is plenty of game rooms here at the PB site. Your PCs can even get dressed in their chars, char names and their discriptions in their profiles so they can get more into their chars and interact w/o needing to know which playing is which char.

How is out-of-character chatter and what-not handled, generally speaking?

I mean, for those who allow for such aberrations, of course

*actions*

(out of game/char talking)

--Telepethy or thinking loudly--

"<talking in a language other then the main one of the group>"

<"talking over the radio">

The top three are the Accepted basic forms of puntuation to show what you mean when you are typing.
The telepithy formmat is genrally accepted to. While thinking loudly can be heard by sensitives.
The other language and talking over the Radio are formmats that I've started using recently.

Thank you for the clarification.
