I’ve written a bit of a client/server app to allow remote users to roll dice and their results will pop up on in big beautiful letters on a display on my side.  Fairly basic right now, you can type in the number of dice in one box, any bonuses in another box and then click the dice to roll. Â  I need to add-in some set it and forget it boxes though so the users can set buttons to specific die rolls like 1d10+1d6+2 in addition to the more generic ones.

Doubt if I’ll add chat because well with various VOIP systems there’s not much need to have text chat for remote gaming.

Between the die roller and a web cam I think a remote game could work fairly well with one remote user.  More though and perhaps it’s getting into things.  The biggest problem with remote users is they’re remote and at their computer which means there’s a lot of readily available distractions.  I mention this from experience trying to play over WebRPG where there’d be many ‘moments of silence’ because people would get distracted by something on their side and not be paying any attention to the game.
