you know how 3d6 means d6+d6+d6?
i think we should generalise this
(d6)d6: add up a number X of d6's, where X is determined by 1d6
((d6)d6)d6: add up a number X of d6's, where X is determined by d6(d6)
and so on

((d6)d6)d6: add up a number X of d6's, where X is determined by d6(d6)
and so on
in fact let's just remove the brackets and write it as
d6d6
d6d6d6
no wait another concept:
1d(2d8): roll one X-sided dice, where X is equal to 2d8
d6d6
d6d6d6

@schappi Allow me to propose the following notation:
d^nk where n is the number of nested rolls and k is the type of dice rolled (and note the carat is meant to represent exponentiation but I can’t superscript). The downside is that it doesn’t work well with mixed dice, but repeated applications of rolls of the same die is easily captured, maybe adding a subscript would give more flexibility…
