A backup of a really handy dice-pool tool
Just making a copy and backup for my own use of this project. He is the original creator so all credit to him.
For the mathematically inclined, it is, of course, a binomial distribution with p = 0.5. To help me understand it, I wrote a little javascript application. It will also hopefully be helpful if you need to look something up, either mid-design, or mid-play.
