just use your scale theory, if you want I IV V progressions
i wonder why they chose to use roman numerals instead of numbers? hm...

Roman numerals are used in studios, so that you can ask the session players to play the progression in the key you want, without having to change the set of sheet music.
There's even particular names for some of those progressions, such as "anatole" (I'm french, it might change in your country) which means the I VIm IV V, and others...
I frequently jam, and some people just call "I IV V in A, and one, two, three, four..." well, it takes less time than calling the name of the chords!!
As to roman opposed to arabic numerals, I guess they are easier to see (less round shapes)

aaahhh i see. they look cool too. hey thats a good idea, for jamming. i only have one jamming buddy ( and he is kinda new at playin and kinda sucks) and usually im just like "follow my riff with some rhythm, and he sits there and watches me...which is the worst thing you can do when your trying to jam with somebody.

if u are trying to come up with a chord progression but keep playing on that has already been written (as i do) there is a quick and simple solution. simply try moving one chord up or down 1 fret. for example the change from Cmaj to Gmaj has been done a thousand times and is a bit boring to build a song around. however try changing to a F#maj instead for a brill sound. using this i have found loads of brill changes which sound out of this world. examples are Bmin - Fmaj and A#maj - Dmin. simple things like this can realy spice up a chord progression and even allow you to change keys easyly. adding a key change in the middle of a solo is a great way to add intrest to an otherwise boring song
