Re:Null on Thursday January 14, 2021 @07:34AM (#25775616)
Reminds me of the first time my DnD group tried out roll20.net. The chat box allows players to type things like "/roll 1d6" or "/roll 2d12" to simulate rolling dice (in these cases 1 6-sided die and 2 12-sided dice). I quickly tried "/roll 1dNaN", crashed the chat, and we went back to physical dice for the rest of the session.
