The Math behind Dice

[Daniel Stevenson]

Some interesting videos I found about the mathematics behind how dice work.  Evidently, old-style D10's (D20's numbered 0-9 twice) are more fair.

Heh, most dice are "good enough" for RPGs.  The worst problem for dice rolling come from tabletop wargames where you roll buckets of dice and there are just too many ways to skew the results by dice modification when you are throwing handfuls of dice at a time.  Assuming you don't have someone manipulating the dice by sleight of hand tricks.

Then, of course, you have the hot rollers.  No mods, no tricks, even make them roll in ways to beat the tricksters....and they still roll hot dice when they need it...."there is no spoon"...

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing Daniel.
