Is this compatible with multiple rules sytems? I want to be able to throw several sizes of dice at the same time, like D8+D6+2D4, etc.

Are there screen shots ? I couldn't find any

where's the beef?

I can't find any working link to the actual online program...

It works with any rules set. There are no rules specific functions. You can roll any combination of dice, but you have to use your own rulebooks to interpret what your rolls mean, just as with physical dice. You can also make customized character sheets.

No screenshot page yet - workin' on it.

But if you want to see what it does the best way is to sign up, start a test gameroom (use the GM start link on the left), take a look at the various instruction sheets (try using the short versions), and try it out. You don't have to download any software.

Have fun.

Okay. You need to make that GM start link MUCH bigger. I'll check it out.
