Anything kept up to date (like, using libraries updated in the last decade) will be statistically more random than any random process you can come across in nature. It will be astoundingly more random than the most carefully created dice that we could create.Now, it’s also pretty easy to screw up that randomness by transforming it badly, so don’t try your own code for modifying a random generator, just use the library code to produce a random integer in a given range to simulate a dice roll and you will be golden.As far as VTTs are concerned, while it’s possible they screwed up their random dice code, it’s not hard code and it’s easier to do it right than wrong, so I’d be very surprised to see their coders make an error.As an aside, people underestimate the likelihood of extreme random results a lot. I had a friend who made his living as a professional gambler by betting that long shots come off, effectively betting against the crowd.</blockquote>
