I ran a Shadowrun PBeM game in the late nineties where I
rolled what I called the "frictionless dice" and the players
rolled (dice server) the "tension dice."

The rule was as follows:

if the scene had character-changing implications to the players, they could 
roll their own.  I always allowed one re-roll for something I had rolled, 
but the player had to take it good-or-bad.

overall, the players mostly wanted me to roll the dice..... after a while, I 
did all of it.... and more often than not, the answer was, "The die roll is 
influence...not law."
