Yes please! I'd like to get into more RPG stuff, but I get intimidated by the fact that, with a lot of these message board ones I've seen, it sounds like you have to calcualte your own dice-rolls. Maybe not, maybe they do have an automatic dice-roller in the system and just put the info on what goes into a roll up for the player's interest sake. But I can't tell, and even with an automatic roller, how does that work? Do you still have to input your own roll info?
