Hi

I've looked at Chribba's dice and I'm just wondering if I'm being really dim, or if there is no API to access it? (not character access, but access to the dice data, unlocking it and so on....)

I'd like to have quite a few random numbers generated for something I'm planning (but nothing excessive). Doing this manually is going to be a pain. Filling in the form through PHP / cURL calls seems a bit hacky.

Any thoughts?

Why not just use whatever you're going to be using the random numbers in?

If you're using google's spreadsheet, randbetween(bottom,top) would do it.

Woo! CSM XI!

Because no Eve player in their right mind is going to trust me when I say "the number generated was X". And rightly so.

It needs the ability to be verified by players, like what dice offers.

How many rolls?

This http://www.pbegames.com/roller/ is forms / email based but supports up to 1000 rolls and provides verification of emailed results. Might work for a one-shot situation.
