The only time I use it is in a play by post game if I'm playing while out of the house. If I'm home, I have my dice on the coffee table.

I don't use dice apps for RPGs, but for PBEM wargaming I use the PBE Games dice roller at http://www.pbegames.com/ -- it will email results to multiple addresses and signs rolls for verification.

Usually that means links down the left column of the page with common die pools, links for ten d6s or d20s at a time (for hit points, attacks and saves of large groups), a reaction roll, some chance-in-6 rolls, and tables for encounters (by level and terrain), spells (by level or as scrolls), and treasure (by level or type). When clicked, the links fire off some javascript that prepends the result to a rolling log in the right column (usually I put them in a big text box in case I want to add notes).Joshua L.
