Curious about the Roll RNG

hey Tiko!

we’re running a World of Darkness play-by-post game in our zone, and we’re /rolling a lot. it’s a cool feature to have so thanks for that

i’m curious tho. we seem to get 1s with kind of a high frequency. basically most d10 roll groups will usually have at least one 1, with numbers in the mid range seeming to be much more rare. any roll of more than 3 or 4d10 is basically guaranteed to have a 1

i was curious about what kind of seeding or what kind of rng is used for that feature. is this all in our heads, is it just bad luck or confirmation bias, or is there actually a tendency toward more 1 rolls, y’know?

snarf rolled 100d10: 521
(rolls: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10)

Applebaps rolled 10d10: 43
(rolls: 1 1 2 3 3 3 4 8 8 10)

Applebaps rolled 10d10: 64
(rolls: 1 2 4 6 6 8 9 9 9 10)

Applebaps rolled 10d10: 48
(rolls: 1 2 2 2 4 5 7 7 9 9)

We just have terrible roll luck.

And should just switch to nwod roll rules :p :p

imgay rolled 10d10: 97
(rolls: 9 9 10 10 10 10 10 lO l0 9)

oops i missed this
internally it uses https://pkg.go.dev/math/rand which should be ok for dice i think

the dice library is https://github.com/justinian/dice

yeah seems really straightforward and properly random. we’re just unlucky lol

thanks
