Overview

What Is This Tool?

This tool combines two things in one place: a dice roller for tabletop games and quick number generation, and a random picker that selects one item at random from any list you type in — names, tasks, restaurants, prizes, whatever you need to choose fairly between.

Instead of switching between separate apps for dice and random selection, both live in one simple interface.

Usage

How to Use It

Choose a mode: Dice or Random Picker.

For dice: select the number of sides (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20) and how many dice to roll.

For random picker: type or paste your list of options, one per line.

Click Roll or Pick — the result appears instantly, along with a short history of recent results.

Worked Example

How the Random Picker Works

Add your options, one per line — names for a team draft, chores for the week, or menu items you can’t decide between. Click Pick, and the tool selects one entry at random. You can also remove the picked entry automatically, which is useful for drawing winners one at a time without repeats.

Is It Truly Random?

Yes. The tool uses your browser’s built-in cryptographic random number generator rather than a weaker, predictable method. This means every roll or pick has a genuinely fair, unbiased chance — important for anything from a friendly game to picking a raffle winner.
Benefits

Use Cases

  • Tabletop RPGs — roll damage, initiative, or skill checks without physical dice
  • Classroom activities pick a student at random, assign teams fairly
  • Team meetings —decide who presents first, or randomly assign tasks
  • Games and raffles —pick a winner without bias
  • Everyday decisions —can't decide where to eat? Let the picker choose
Avoid These

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Assuming a "hot streak" affects the next roll

each roll is independent; previous results don't influence future ones.

Using it for high-stakes randomness without checking fairness

for casual games this tool is fine, but formal drawings (contracts, legal raffles) may need a verified, audited random number source.

Forgetting to remove picked names

if you're drawing multiple unique winners, make sure repeat removal is turned on so the same name isn't picked twice.
