"Electronic Dice" device?

I'm also going to try dicenomicon

edit: it too is an ipod app with rpg features.

I still use my Dragonbone from time to time (especially for old-style games), but if I want electronic I tend to use the RANGE 1 these days. Ninety five percent of the time it's good old analogue polyhedrons though.

You mean like this?

Well that's just too cool. And I just got an iPhone yesterday (after a year of pining). And now I've bought my first app for it!

I can chi-square test the die to make sure it is good. I do not know enough of the programming languages to do that with electronic dice rollers.

Huh? You don't need to know any code to run a chi-square test on digital dice. You just do it exactly as you would analog dice.

I also can't turn this bias off on physical dice like you can on a dice app. Back in the early days of UCSD Pascal I even wrote a program to give you either fair dice or biased, so I know it can be done. Unless I know the ins and outs of an app (i.e., the code) I cannot tell if the app has a hidden mode.

Besides, you are there in person to play a game, not sit there and play with your phone/blackberry/computer/whatever. If you want a computer to roll dice for you, then why show up at all?
