Hello Everyone
very long time no see.
I thought the big time problem wasn’t the dice rolling, but wrangling all the written text in preparation for the dice rolling. [*]
I was thinking that a very easy way to keep the data “platform agnostic” and “forum shareable”, would be an aplication that writes and parses PNG files, pretty much like QR codes (or just using straight QR codes):

If we use png lossless compression, it would be very easy to move around, write and parse these files. (a single strip of 64 pixels of height and 128 pixels of width could store a metric shit ton of players).
I’m thinking about using rgb values, but that may be overkill, a very simple monocromatic QR code can easily store a 3000 character JSON, that contains all the data needed for each player http://qrcode.meetheed.com/question3.php
