"Enable Advanced Dice" option in Settings

I'm so confused. This option is on by default, which isn't a problem, as it seems to cause no issues per se. However I can't figure out why it's even an option: The help files say:  " When enabled, dice icons will become available in the chat log when dice are rolled. You can drag those dice icons around to reorder the dice, and even drag them onto a map to have a Rollable Table Token of the die." Why would you want to be able to do these things? I'm always looking for cool uses of features Roll20 integrates, but this one is beyond me. Any creative ideas out there as to why I'd want to be able to drag dice to the map, or reorder them in chat? 

If you are going to run some dice focused mini-game, it can be good for people to drag/drop the dice to the vtt.  The players can then drag select dice, right click, and hit random side to roll the dice on the vtt. It is about as close to rolling physical dice as you can get on Roll20. Another thing it can be used for is to save a value.  I haven't run it yet, but have set up for a game of Ex Novo.  That game uses only 6 sided dice, usually in sets of 3.  One of the mechanics of the game requires that each of the players have 3 dice that they have rolled before the game and have set aside.  They can use those set aside dice to substitute for dice rolled during the game.  Each die can only be used as a substitute once, and is then removed.  So they can roll their three dice, drag them to the vtt to save for later, and then delete them as used. Since the dice match the player color, a player can also make different colors of dice by altering their player color before each roll.  If you need dice with different colors for certain game mechanics, this can be a way to go about doing that.

Also good for games that require sorting, saving, or re-rolling dice (Ex. Yahtzee). Those dice on the tabletop can be rerolled by right-clicking and choosing "Multisided > Random Side". (Don't remember the exact wording). You can also set the dice by choosing the side. This is useful for ad hoc labels on the map: point 1, point 2, etc. >  Easy Area Markers / Room Numbering

Dragging dice onto the Map = free sets of Numbered tokens. Use for monsters, mooks, building numbers, map labels, aura-holders, whatever! Didn't know you could re-order dice in Chat, that's a new one to me, thanks! Part of the concept is the system-agnostic, Kitchen Table nature of roll20, where you're able to do almost-anything that you could do with paper, pencil, dice, at your game-room table IRL. On ttrpg tabletops (sometimes with a map laid out), people use dice as an impromptu miniature, place-holder, number tracker, room number marker.

Thanks, all! You know, Gold, it never occurred to me to use them on the map the same way I would in person. LOL Sometimes the brain just...glitches. These ideas form all of you unglitched me. Thank you again! 

I usually drag die to the VTT for "A quiet year" to indicate the projects currently active and to count those down...
