However, not being an RPer myself, I haven't really come up with anything other than this sweet item.
Of course, I doubt random numbers are such a hot commodity, so what else is there?

...Honestly there isn't much. I don't know how the DSB runs things but MBA doesn't have many numbers or mechanics, so to speak. And what it does have we can honestly just do in an AIM chat. <_<
Now, if somebody started a site-wide RPG...!

Also, I was testing it using Preview Post, which doesn't show it.

On the other hand, like I said, I didn't want to build gaming the system into the system itself, so I made the rolls generate right before the message is inserted into the database. This also makes it possible to add something to the header as discussed above if necessary without having to make further changes to the way rolls are processed. I guess this way you can't see what the numbers are and write out the rest of your message accordingly, but that seems weird anyway.

I attempted to intimidate him in order to make him rethink said plan and got a partial/moderate success, which probably wouldn't overcome his [insert stat that governs that, probably Will or some such], except that, as a moderator, I get a modifier of +35 to all intimidate checks.

On a more serious note, I'm pretty sure some colleges do. It's not that bad an idea, at any rate. There's a lot of possible angles you can go to mine something valuable out of these things.

Of course, this isn't entirely the reality of it: to expand on this example, romantic-era poetry isn't a perfect substitute for (or strictly better than) Harry Potter. There are themes and circumstances Harry Potter provides that the poetry cannot. I mean, for one thing, the sociological information provided by the two (on a purely textual basis) are totally different. That is, the rhetoric employed by the authors - the doxa, to make use of that one English class I was forced to take - is vastly differentiated. Replace romantic-era poetry with just about anything (except perhaps Twilight) and you'd get the same issue(s).
Like I said, the utility of such a class isn't undermined on the basis of the material in se. It's middling because it isn't as complete, well-developed, or informative over all as the alternatives. It does however have a niche, defined by the incompatibilities of the form I talked about above, and if you happen to be interested in that niche then it's well worth your time.
