Can we make the dice bot more accessible?
Yes, let's do this. Make the d6 use numbers instead of pips.

Is it just me, or did the tags suddenly get bolded?
This is intentional, however, it has been reported as a bug at Meta SE and is related to recent tag updates.
Yes this whole answer is bold and it looks terrible. Just like the tags.

The Role-Playing Games title image looks blurry because of the boarder, almost as if the image was badly scaled up.
Just blow up the image 300% and see.

The new header is styled to linebreak even in the middle of words. It probably shouldn't be.
