Thinking of running a game online (via Skype, G+hangouts or similar), and one of the few sticking points is wondering how to make it so that everyone involved can see and/or make die rolls. The simplest is just for everyone to buy some dice, roll them, and tell the group what you got, but it would be far more fun IMO for everyone to be able to see what's going on.
The only other option I can think of, though, is to run the Java die roller app that someone put together in a shared desktop. That's kind of limiting, though, since only I would be able to roll on it (short of handing control of the desktop over to each person in turn, which sounds incredibly kludgy).
I know there are shared virtual tabletop apps out there, but do any of them support custom dice? That might be the best option, but if they only support standard polyhedrals that will just slow down the game as much as passing control of a shared desktop.
Thanks!
