There are a variety of online dice rolling apps and sites meant for gaming over the web (mostly intended for RPG’s). I’ll have to look into that – I’m guessing my final series this year will be played via Skype.

If you try it, be advised that it’s invoked by “//roll”. Note the double-slash.

that /roll is a neat feature. I might see if Skype has that capability.

I’d miss rollin’ the bones, tho. my cam is set on a small pole which allows me to pick it up and zoom in on the dice when I roll sixty-six. ;-)

I’ve done “f2f” over AIM chat. One great feature – in an AIM chat window, if you type “//roll” it will simulate a roll of 2 6-sided dice! Perfect for APBA!

Haven’t tried webcams. I don’t think anyone in our league has one, but it sounds like a great idea.
