The new "Add a dice roll" button is, for once, a new feature on these boards that is genuinely useful (given what company's boards these are) and not, in any obvious way, a creation of Satan. However, is there any chance of either (a) removing it from boards it's not so obviously useful on, like the Magic ones, or (b) better yet (and possibly easier to implement), making it a button in the toolbar above the post, rather than floating inside the posts after they're made?

One really nice advantage of the latter is that it would let you make more than one, say an attack and damage roll (needing both at about the same time is not exactly rare in D&D, to understate the case).  EDIT: Never mind, I see you can do more than one. However, any way to list them in the order they're made, rather than the reverse of that order? It's Magic that uses LIFO, not D&D Sealed.

also would let you put it mid-post. like, I attack, roll, see I hit, and then type up the rest of the roleplaying bits afterward.

It's baaaaaack, and spilling over into the MtG forums.

I'd rather have a tap button that turns my post sideways

The implementation of this strikes me as incredibly odd obnoxious.

Occassionally when catering, I've been put the task of arranging Fruit and Cheese or Grilled Vegetable platters.  More than once a high class buffet has started with the mark of Phyrexia upon it.  Since i've got a good eye for color so it looks great to people who don't get the "joke" (it's a niceley divided circle after all: the outline gives you 4-6 "regions" to work with), this has actually got me put on platter design more often, resulting in Phyrexia's presence at more private and industry events.




I have 6743 Planeswalker points, that's probably more than you.
