I know this is not on the table anytime soon for FGU but when I ran across these dice I had to think of the possibilities.

GoDice. (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1928372437/godice-your-favorite-dice-games-reimagined)

Imagine if someone had a set of these and could manually roll their dice and they be used in FGU automatically.

I am not sure how the API for GoDice works yet but if there is a way to submit dice roll data from it to FGU through that would be amazing. I really miss the ability to manually roll dice and have all the numbers crunched easily. The clatter of dice on the desk ... man, it would be nice.

I've signed up for the kickstarter to see what is what and once I get mine and I hoping I can figure out a way to convince the powers that be to add a method of inputting data into FGU on behalf of a character. If the ability was bi-directional could even make a compact version of FGU or even just a character sheet on a tablet/phone using that instead of the entire interface...

Yeah, I know, pie in the sky but... like I said.. possibilities.
