Die Rolling Ap?

Someone suggested this on my blog (or maybe it was on here!). Here's what I'm looking for.

1. Roll customizable dice, at least of the form: Xd20 +/- Yd6
2. Total those rolls if possible.
3. Be able to be authenticated. Like the Ref gives you a code corresponding to your roll and you make it?
4. Be deliverable via text or Tweet.

Ideally, in online/text RP, the Ref would call for a check: Make an attack roll (XXX - where XXX is the code for the roll). The player initiates the program, it rolls the appropriate dice, and a text is sent to the player (and ref?) with the result.

We've used invisible castle in PBP and it's really good. Very easy to use and can be used for all sorts of die mechanic.

I've take a look at it. That's great, actually. Might just work.

Thanks!

It would work for twitter, but not not for texting which is what I would like to see. I suppose twitter could be used instead of texting if all the players had smart phones or as trodgers said on his blog, just use the honor system.

Yes, smart phones are so prevalent now it would work for many groups...but I don't have one. In fact, my wife and kids all have smart phones. I remain low tech.
