Questions people ask

Is an online d6 as fair as a real one?

Fairer, usually. Cheap plastic dice with drilled pips are slightly unbalanced. RollPick uses your browser's cryptographic random generator with rejection sampling, so each face has exactly a 1 in 6 chance.

Why do opposite sides of a die add to 7?

It is a long-standing manufacturing convention that spreads high and low numbers evenly around the cube. Casino dice and most game dice follow it.

What is the average of a d6?

3.5. Eight d6 (a fireball) average 28.
