[QUOTE=kenji;46894031]There a source for that?[/QUOTE] [url=https://wiki.roll20.net/QuantumRoll]roll20's Wiki entry for it[/url] or the [url=https://app.roll20.net/home/quantum]QuantumRoll status page[/url].

Huh, that's pretty intresting, thanks

[QUOTE=Rats808;46893955]Roll20's dice use a 'quantum roll' thingy, which basically just means they change the seed they use for it once every few hours(I think) to a new random one. Which means, if you're rolling bad, it's probably because the seed is leading to low numbers or something. [editline]9th January 2015[/editline] Same for if you're rolling really well; just means the seed is leading to higher numbers.[/QUOTE] yeah no, the quantum roll system is just closer to true randomness than the pseudo-randomness of most computer systems. perceived bias is just all in your head.

[QUOTE=Crimor;46896561]He's probably the kind of person that thinks they can pre roll the shit rolls out of a die. :v:[/QUOTE] I know a guy who does that on Roll20, it's really annoying when he starts spamming 20d20 any time he rolls under 10.

[QUOTE=Fippe;46895293]yeah no, the quantum roll system is just closer to true randomness than the pseudo-randomness of most computer systems. perceived bias is just all in your head.[/QUOTE] Roll20 does have a tendency to exactly duplicate rolls, however.

If you want truly random (and unbiased) rolls, use [URL="https://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/"]HotBits[/URL]! It uses geiger counters pointed at radioactive sources to generate random bytes :v:

can we just agree that computer dice are magic and get all this nonesense 'science' out of here everyone knows that the only way to guarantee good rolls is to kowtow to RNG-sama and burn an incense stick while sacrificing your firstborn character sheet

[QUOTE=Crimor;46896561]He's probably the kind of person that thinks they can pre roll the shit rolls out of a die. :v:[/QUOTE] No, I just recognize the fact that true random number generation is pretty much impossible, hence why a lot of games/websites/etc have started referring to it as pseudo-rng.

-snip, wrong thread-

you goof

Praise RNGesus

[QUOTE=Rats808;46898091]No, I just recognize the fact that true random number generation is pretty much impossible, hence why a lot of games/websites/etc have started referring to it as pseudo-rng.[/QUOTE] Even though it's not truly random, no seed will cause it to roll better or worse than usual. It's by definition indistinguishable from random.

[QUOTE=Dwarfy77;46893490]So our operations director for Ad Eva dropped on us due to schedule reasons. The floodgates are opening up then! If you're one, slightly familiar with the system (preferably have at least given the rulebook a look over), two able to make games on Saturday starting at 5-7PM CST (depending on when everyone gets here) and lasting until we all pass out/are too tired to function properly :v: (Usually going until 11PM at the earliest, to 1 in the morning or later if things get heated and we start late) and three, don't mind herding some idiots about while the world falls apart around you, PM me![/QUOTE] Reposting because I've gotten no offers, and we need an Operations Director in order to run Adeptus Evangelion.

First Shadowrun session went great, we got hired to break into a place and steal data. Croguy starts things off brilliantly by forgetting be can't pick locks and trying to crowbar a window open, shattering it. The janitor hears the window break and comes into the room, shouts "What the drek?" and gets shot dead by the elf (forget who plays her?). They move in, server tech sees them, he gets shot too, alarms are going off now, Croguy finds the security guard and gets him to surrender, our mage realizes that we've forgot the chip with the hacking agent on it and runs in too and we start downloading the thing. Thing gets downloaded about the same time two Knight Errant cars show up, everyone sprints across the street into my van and we tear off down an alley, one car tries to follow us but finds the alley too narrow, the other comes around the block. I dive right at the guy and zip past him, and magedude puts up some magic wall thing in front of the car as it tries to turn around, blocking it off.

So can someone tell me if I got this down? (5th edition DnD) [t]http://i.imgur.com/VCH9LYK.png[/t] This means that if I wanted to attack with the greataxe, I'd have to roll the d20, add my strength, (3) then the weapon damage (5) and if I bypass the AC I would roll the D12 and add 3 to see how much damage I did?

The +3 on the 1d12 is also from your strength, and that is added to damage if you manage to land a blow.

[QUOTE=Obvious Shizz;46907772]So I wouldn't roll the D20 to make an attack?[/QUOTE] You do roll a d20 to make an attack. You had it more or less correct at first, just with the wrong terminology.

[QUOTE=Rats808;46907785]You do roll a d20 to make an attack. You had it more or less correct at first, just with the wrong terminology.[/QUOTE] Yeah, so you'd roll a single d20, add +5 to hit, then if you DO hit you'd roll 1d12+3 for damage.
