I believe they just want some sort of functionality to roll a dice, such that they could go "roll a 12-sided die" and a bot or program responds "Rolled a 7"

Aha. I will ask our system manager about it later then, but it doesn't seem important enough to pay him for several hours of work regarding something like this, so it is not certain that anything will be done about the issue. Can somebody try to politely ask the administrators in the forum that incorporates this feature about further information about how it was installed first please?

I am not going to get an account there in order to investigate. Sorry.
The last time we implemented a feature from another forum (the sandboxes, if I remember correctly) a member there asked about the issue for us.

As the resident D&D guy... meh.
Just play via Discord, man. Not really the point of the wiki or forum. It shouldn't fall to the forum mods, admins, and bureaucrats to maintain D&D support software and whatever else would be needed.

Could be, though I think it's a lot better than forums (personal opinion). Still, as mentioned, it really doesn't need to be Ant, AKM, Prom, or anybody here's problem to try to maintain an RP forum. It's just an extra duty that, however trivial, isn't really at all related to our work.

Hmm, well I've seen that my other friends don't really understand the language used in Vs battle, I mean vocabulary, like in Conceptual Manipulation, I still often see people who don't understand by just reading the Vs battle wiki, and asking people -that person. who understand more
so i guess, maybe try to use language that is "maybe" longer, and a bit easier to understand, so that people can understand it too, well actually this is just a little suggestion

You mean an entire cultural change in which everything is more unecessarily verbose so outsiders that will probably leave a while after can try further to grasp it?
Uh... yeah no, that's just too impractical and there's no reasonable way to enforce that, just drop a question in the Questions and Answers board if you're unsure on something.

I think it would be better to share some thoughts about that in this thread. I am also afraid of misgendering someone, especially when they haven't left any evidences on what their gender is. In some gendered languages, you can guess the person's gender online by looking at how do they decline verbs/nouns/adjectives toward themselves. This, however, isn't the case for English, where only pronouns and some really old feminatives (waitress, mistress, goddess, ...) can determine the person's gender.
In pre-UCP Fandom, there was the Gender section in user global profiles, which helped me to know how to refer to quite many members correctly. Now they abandoned that section, this forum doesn't have anything similar either. So yeah, I support this idea with all my hands and legs.

I also very strongly agree with adding a preferred pronouns button. I really don't have the energy to correct everybody who assumes I'm a man, so at bare minimum it'd be useful for situations like that.
Though I have to ask if adding multiple sets of pronouns would at all be possible.

WordReference, another XenForo forum, has male and female icons in member profiles. I think it shouldn't be very difficult to implement something like this.

Ehhhhhh
I am personally against using gender indicators, especially if they're solely restricted to male/female, given the widely varying ways people choose to identify beyond those two options. Pronouns serve essentially the same purpose, but are more inclusive of trans/GNC members such as myself.

I am fine with this. I was thinking of using He/Him, She/Her, and They/Them, to keep things simple.

We likely can, but it is not a high priority, as increasingly obscure or absurd emojis are not a necessary function for our work here.

I think it would be great to add more features to editing tables.
As for the table border, I think it would be 0 - 5 pixels thick. Sometimes, people don't need borders for their tables, so they can choose 0 pixels for no borders.
There should also be a choice for us to align tables between Top, Middle, and Bottom. As of now, we can only align our tables between Left, Center & Right.
We should also have the ability to change table colors. As for those who don't want their tables to be colored, they can set their table background to be transparent.

Ant, about the line under your name, "Maintenance worker", can it be used by other people? It is far easier to write your gender there, if it is possible. On display and all.

It is an optional title available for the administrators and above. So not everybody can use it. But we are working on a new pronouns feature which should solve the problem sufficiently.

By the way, I've seen some members whose profile photo is in the form of a video, and when I try, it seems like an error and fails, how do I use the video profile??

It seems like we already have a lot of emoji options.
See here for examples:
However, we are considering to add anime emojis as well, if we find good options.

I think that the gif file has to be less than 1 Megabyte large in order to work, but am not sure if I remember correctly.
