Generating Random Numbers (Aside from Dice and Coins)?

Post by Hrothgar Bloodaxe » Sun Dec 10, 2023 11:18 pm

Hello everyone.

Simple question: Is there any way to generate random numbers, IC, aside from using the dice object/dice tables, or coin objects?

The "question behind the question" is that I'm looking to generate random numbers with digits greater than 6, for a number of IC/RP-related purposes.

I felt like there was some way to do this, but perhaps I've simply made it all up in my mind.|

And, if there is currently no way to create "publicly visible random numbers" outside of the current dice/coins, might I recommend a craftable object like a "bingo wheel," where a player could use that object to roll for a random number within a defined range. I could imagine all sorts of fun uses for such an object, and it doesn't seem like it would be especially difficult to create.

Of course, optional horse death RP is a possibility.
