In addition, you might try using AIM chat. It has a built in dice roller that's not very intuitive, but it works. The format is//roll-dice[number]-sides[number], so typing//roll-dice4-sides10
would produce four random numbers between one and ten for all to see, for example.
You might try OpenRPG, designed specifically for this sort of thing. Written in Python, completely open source, and has plugins for a multitude of pnp systems from your standard DnD to Shadowrun, Storyteller, GURPS, etc.
