Not sure where to put this thread - so mods feel free to move it.
When I was a kid we played D&D in class secretly or when traveling by car long distances and it was just not convenient to use dice.
What I did was write down several numbers in a range, say 1-20 for a d20.
The next number I wrote on the page ahead time was the 1 for the die. The player then would state their number guess.
Example: my next written down number is 18 for d20. Player says 19 - they rolled a 2. Had the player said 17 they would have rolled a 20.
Not much use for such a system today with cell phone apps, etc. The article on D&D in prison made me think of it.
We pulled all kinds of shenanigans back in the day to get our game in!
