As some of you might have gathered, I am interested in gaming on Google Wave, and as such I have decided to test out one of the more popular dicebots out there, Random Lee Twenty.
You might have seen him if you frequent any roleplaying waves, he usually looks something like this:
As far as usage goes, Lee is very easy to use, to roll dice, you just need to type in: zdx + y, where z is the number of dice you wish to roll, x is the number of sides of each die, and y is the number to add to the total (the d is just a d).
for example:
2d6+8
d20+15 (You can leave out the 1 in front if you are just rolling one die)
d4 (The same with the number after the plus if it is 0)
In addition to the basic rolling, Lee Twenty has a lot of support for other rolling systems for specific games (including FATE, Burning Wheel, World of Darkness, and numerous others). In addition to that, you can specify target numbers, and what to display if the roll passes/fails. To figure out how to do all that, you might want to check out their Official Site.
Lee Twenty is continuously in development, and the author is very responsive to user feedback. The Lee Twenty Wave is very active, and a good place to discuss useful features and bugs for the bot.
Overall, I think that Lee Twenty stands head and shoulders above all other dicebots I have seen, either in or outside Google Wave.

We used Randomlee in a test game on Saturday, works very well ingame, with very little delay between clcking done and the result coming in.
Good find. I came across Dice Bot yesterday, which promised exactly this but didn’t seem to work. Random Lee performs perfectly – thanks for highlighting it and helping me to find it.
