I think this is acceptable. What about notifications?

geth roll 2d5 @icyliquid this one's for you

ArbitraryDescriptor

Geth roll 1d5 for Icy loves us this much: <br/>1 So much <br/>2 Too much <br/>3 Potato <br/>4-5 DEATH

Aww,

Ok, one thing that I would find handy, but I'm not sure whether it's in scope for this.

I'm using this in a couple of different games now, and one thing I find I'm doing a fair amount is a "post-roll edit", where I sum up the results of the roll, or make additional choices that the roll dictates. Problem is, when I edit the post, Geth's roll disappears, which makes it harder to refer back to for my summing up.

Would it be possible, during post editing, for the roll results to stay visible? Not editable, of course, but possibly visible just below the editing window, for reference?

Though I suppose I could always just do the summing up in another post.

ArbitraryDescriptor

Like this?

Blah blah blah fluff.

Geth roll 1d2 for No/Yes

Blah blah -No- I wouldn't like another.

Edit: Oh sorry, I get what you're saying.

Geth roll 1d6 for a dice test.

tastydonuts

This is pretty awesome. The only thing I can think of as far as suggestions would be to have an option that would embed the results in their own spoiler, to keep IC posts cleaner.

but then again...

Geth roll 1d20+13;1d10+5 for attack and damage

edit: nope, it doesn't do it!

Henroid

Not sure why you'd want to auto-spoiler tag the results. The roll is a function meant to be seen.

To keep IC posts cleaner! :P

Non-spoilered results probably works fine in a board game, but they stick out in a PbP game imo.

I'm not suggesting that all results be spoilered, but just that when declaring a roll there be a parameter to mask them as needed.

Geth roll 17d76 for When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

EDIT: Ha, it broke at the last "for" in the text.

Bigity

Does Geth do Step rolls for Earthdawn?

Infidel

Depends, what's a step roll for Earthdawn?

Bigity

Well mostly it would be translating 'Roll Step 7' into the corresponding die pool.

For example, Step 4 is 1d6. It gets more complicated, rolling a die of 2-3 different types or multiples of the same type.

Step Action Dice
1 D6-3
2 D6-2
3 D6-1
4 D6
5 D8
6 D10
7 D12
8 2D6
9 D8+D6
10 2D8
11 D10+D8
12 2D10
13 D12+D10
14 2D12
15 D12+2D6
16 D12+D8+D6
17 D12+2D8
18 D12+D10+D8
19 D12+2D10
20 2D12+D10
21 3D12
22 2D12+2D6
23 2D12+D8+D6
24 2D12+2D8

Infidel

Not likely, since when I add features I normally require that they add to what already can be done, to avoid creep.

Bigity

Not a big deal, that's why ED players have a chart handy or eventually memorize it.

agilemania

The good news is that as long as you know what each step is, Geth can still do the rolling.

Geth roll 2d12;1d8;1d6 for Earthdawn Step 23

Infidel

From what I looked up, you would want exploding dice, and you add the entire "step" up to beat a target number?

Something like this?

Geth roll 2d12o12+1d8o8+1d6o6 for Step 23 vs 16

Infidel

Just missed it.

Smasher

Geth roll 1d6 for Science
Geth roll 3d1 for All fоr one and one fоr all!

Smasher

Geth roll 2d10 for Time for a different tactic.

Infidel

Hahaha, did you unicode some shit in there? :P

Smasher

Yeah, went with the cyrillic o. I'm trying to think of a way to put "for" in the label without resorting to f0r.

Infidel

Maybe Icy can change the parser to break on the first "for" encountered instead and it shouldn't be an issue.

IcyLiquid

Maybe...

Geth roll 1d20 for sausages and for balls and for my general amusement

Spoit

Geth roll 1d20 test for reasons

Chrysis

Geth roll 1d6 for 双六

Geth　roll　1D6　For　やった

EDIT: Looks like Geth doesn't appreciate Japanese.

jothki

Geth roll 1d6 and then roll 2d5

Phyphor

Upper limit on # of rolls seems to be much higher now

Infidel

Yes, it is more or less using the Orokos limits. Icy and I moved the limits to an option of the API so he can tweak them if he deems it necessary.

Hasn't ever been a problem on Orokos though.

jothki

What is the limit, though?

Geth roll 123456789d1

Edit: Ooh, threatening error message!

Infidel

Geth doesn't have many settings other than threatening.

TwoQuestions

Edit: yes.
