Online dice roller?

My game is moving into scattered mode as several of my players will be going abroad. Since none of the online game tables I've found are working for me (OpenRPG, gametable, MapTools all seem to hate me), I'm using an online whiteboard, which is actually a neat, low-fi alternative. What i need is a dice roller that can be used by multiple people, though. so we can see each others' results instantly. I'm sure something like this exists out there but I haven't seen it yet. Can anyone help?

I use Invisible Castle (Home).

Oops, that what Ebonyr linked to as well. It's a good one.

While invisiblecastle is not exactly what you are looking for, it should get the job done.

I think there is also an option to roll dice in IRC, which could be closer to what you seek.

If your all on windows (2k, XP thru to Vista) then you can try my dice roller. Its a self contained app where you all join up and log in - i.e. not web page based. It shows 3D dice rolling, does macros, does the expression parsing like (3d6+8)*2+1d4 and shares dice rolls instantly. Has options to hide dice from certain users, different dice styles and colors. Does d3, d7, d214 etc as well and can roll up to 21 dice in 3D or 1000 dice and get you the answer.

Oh and its completely free.

Gametable & Skype is what our scattered group uses. Gametable for maps/dice rolls (excellent use of macros) and Skype for the talky.

Gametable

Here is a die roller that I made some time ago. While it doesn't store the die rolls, it does have a bit of functionality.
  • Total Results = shows results and a total
  • Drop Lowest = Rolls the desired number, but drops the lowest (ex, 4d6, drop lowest)
  • Wild Die Explode = From the Star Wars RPG, if the last die is a 6, it rolls until the die is no longer a 6.
  • Hero System = Stun and Body Damage per the Hero System rules.
Designate the number of dice, add a modifier if needed, and click on the die that you want to use.

Edit: Updated to handle multiple rolls of the dice indicated (ex, 6 x 4d6 + 2)
