A thousand rolls of the dice? More like 7,752.
I like my games simple, but not all games are so. Some require more dice than the d6s the BITS System uses – this can be a problem if a player doesn’t want to carry around a dice bag 🎲🎲 Or a new player isn’t sure they are ready to invest. Yet other times a die just cannot be found!
Instead, I want to share with you different dice each with 1292 random rolls that are ready for print to distribute alongside any other piece of gaming material – physical dice not included 😉
d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, and d100 are all included in the DICE ROLLS – Essential doc on Google Drive.
Each page has labels for your convenience. All sheets have a normal distribution of probability, so the rolls are as accurate (or more) than physical math rocks.
A person can start from any corner and go in any direction so long as it is consistent (I would suggest the ol’ left-to-right, top-to-bottom approach). As you go along, mark off which numbers have been used.
Some dice are missing – with a little imagination, all the sheets can be more than they seem:
- All sheets are also d2s.
- d6 becomes a d3, d66 (first number x10, add second), or 2d6 (first + second).
- d8 into a d4.
- d10 replaces d100.
These are convenient sheets, though beware! Anyone who uses them may feel influenced to “meta game” – giving in to the temptation to look forward at what the next rolls might be and choose to act or not in certain unsporting fashion.
You can also make your own like I did:
- In a spreadsheet, resize columns and rows to be square.
- Use this formula: =RANDBETWEEN(1,6) (replace ‘6’ with your die size)
- Copy, paste!
Or you can skip all that to make a copy from my sheets in Google Drive 😉
Enjoy your games and your play, now made easier with a thousand some-odd rolls of the dice. Cheers~
