A while ago, a friend of mine on another board suggested that Roll To Dodge be played amongst the community, except on IRC instead of a forum. Looking at the rules, I saw that automation would be a great help... So I claimed a Programmer's Workshop and created RTDBot.
RTDBot is an IRC bot who is designed to facilitate the GMing of a game of RTD in real-time. He remembers skills, inventories, and currencies, as well as rolling dice and providing a calculator (which is extremely heavy overkill for what it's usually used for during an average game of RTD, I might add). You simply start him up and tell him where you want him to be, and he's there. Data that he stores is all written to disk with a flick of a keyboard. He can roll a hundred thousand d6s without missing a beat, and can remember the skills and inventories of a hundred players. The only thing he doesn't do is write scenarios or provide witty commentary (yet).
RTDBot is an ongoing project, and more features will be added over time. Please tell me if you have any complaints, criticisms, or suggestions; ask and thy will receive (unless I think your suggestion is too hard or stupid; and that's not likely to happen as long as you're reasonable in asking for it).
I haven't seen anything like RTDBot before, only a few little specialized calculators that don't come close to the features and convenience of RTDBot. You will have to make a change to how you do things though; but I think that the change to the more fast-paced IRC system is for the better (no more people screaming ROLL, ROLL, ROLL all the time
).
