How the randomness works
This tool uses your browser's standard random number source, the same kind used for everyday games, sampling, and casual decisions. It is not a cryptographically secure or independently audited random source, so it is not intended for gambling systems, security purposes, or any use case that requires certified fairness.
Inputs and limits
Dice: 1-20 dice, with 2-1000 sides each. Coins: 1-20 coins. Quick pick: any number of options, split by commas or new lines, with blank entries ignored.
Frequently asked questions
Is this random number generator cryptographically secure?
No. It uses standard browser randomness suited for games and casual decisions, not a cryptographic or independently audited random source.
Can I roll dice with more than 6 sides?
Yes. Enter any number of sides from 2 to 1000, useful for tabletop games that use d4, d8, d20, or other non-standard dice.
How do I add options for the quick pick?
Type each option on its own line, or separate them with commas. Blank entries are ignored automatically.
What is the difference between this and the random name picker?
This tool is for dice, coin flips, and picking one item from a short list you retype each time. The random name picker is built for a longer roster you keep, with the option to remove a name after it is picked.
Is my data saved?
No. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
