The headline covers the general idea, but for full PBP or hybrid campaigns, it would be nice to not have to resort to linking to exterior dice rollers. Creating some sort of dice roller that you could annotate or collapse into a forum post with would be really nice.

There is inline rollers for pbp games. You use brackets [[ ]] around your dice in the chat area in the campaign page. I'm in a pbp game and run one also. Now this site is not like unseen servant and other pbp sites. This site is setup for live gaming but you can adapt it to run pbp games rather well.

We already have inline dice rolling in the application. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference#Inline_Dice_Rolls" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference#Inline_Dice_Rolls</a> However, as Metroknight stated, we are not set up for dice rolling in a forum post.
