One of the issues I've encountered with the Agora: The Role Playing Game contest I am working on is random number generation. Obviously RPGs require a large number of random numbers to determine the outcome to a variety of situations. While I could make the contestmaster responsible for generating all random numbers, that would prevent the contestmaster from participating in the contest, and would introduce delays in resolving actions.
My thought for addressing this issue would be to use an on-line random number generator that can send emails with random numbers to a public forum so that contestants can generate their own random numbers. Would this be an acceptable solution? Does anyone know of any on-line random number generators that could be used for this purpose? I remember using http://www.pbm.com/dice/ at one point, but my emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] are getting bounced currently. -- Jeff Weston (Sir Toby) PGP public key available from http://pgp.mit.edu/ PGP Key ID: 0x14B456ED
