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.
