Going to make a list here, so in case one goes down, you'll be able to access others.

Die rollers are great for making decisions a bit more random, or for coming up with specific numbers based on certain criterion, or even deciding how many children/siblings/spouses a character might generally have--there's no end to the ways these can be used, if you're a bit creative. :)

Hamete Virtual Dice Server - allows everything from D2 through D100, and several versions of some, as well as offering multiple die rolls in one roll for you to pull from.  Allows for modifiers, though for people not familiar with RP or math, this one might seem a bit complicated.

Dungeons & Dragons Dice Roller - Allows for the usual dice D4 through D100, as well as one you can assign a value to yourself, and allows for multiple rolls of the same die at once, as well as additional modifiers.  Also records all rolls until the page is refreshed.

Konkrete Dice Roller - Allows the usual D4 through D100, multiple rolls, and modifiers.  Saves rolls and keeps record of the last 10 rolls.

Virtual Dice - a site that has D6 through D12 to roll

Random.org - allows you to roll 1 to 16 D6

Virtual Dice - allows you to roll 1, 2, or 3 D6, or one D6 and one with plusses and minuses

Unpractical Math Virtual Dice - allows you to roll 1 to 25 D6.

Hamete, D&D and Konkrete are the best of the group, but the others are definitely worth using for backups.

And for more, just google "virtual dice" or "online dice."

Warning--this is an adult-related topic.  Don't follow these links unless you are over the age of consent for your area, and you understand what BDSM is.

There are many BDSM checklists online.  Probably at least as many as there are fandoms.  Each has its own leanings, so if a certain checklist doesn't have something you expect to be obvious, keep looking for others.  There's more than enough to choose from.  If you are looking for variety, I'd suggest looking at three at the very least, just to get some different views.

These are great not just for ideas for a "negotiation session" between a couple, but also for ideas when the tank is running low and you need something sexy to be going on.

My BDSM Check List - A VERY long online list that actually allows you to save all the things you marked on it once you've finished (but again--very long, so it takes a while to fill in), and/or send it to anyone you wish.

Latches BDSM Checklist - much shorter alphabetical list, and meant only for printing out and filling in.

Soul's Haven Printable BDSM Checklist - actually has a few specific versions as well as an overall 200-item version.
