Summary: [Feature request] GMGen dicebag syntax: XdYsZ

Initial Comment:
Suggestion: Allow dicebag to understand rolling multiple dice, saving 
only a few of the results

ex: 4d6s3 would roll 4d6, and take the best 3

Logic would have to allow for digit following s (SavedDice) to be equal 
or less than the number of dice rolled, but not allow SavedDice <=0.

Suggestion: Add "Ride 60ft" movement to Travel Time frame in 
Overland Travel tab. Alternatively, add a separate frame for mounted 
travel.

I'd like to add more to this, when you roll a die, you can't
save the results of a number of rolls, so if you roll a
character, you have to save each roll.  You can't just hit
the roll button a few times.

What if the dice bag had a history of your rolls with the
string that was entered and the final value:

4d6s3 = 13
4d6s3+2 = 11

Keep it in a scrolling pane and ensure that you can copy the
results.

You could probably save several thousand rolls before you
even make an impact on usability or memory usage.
