Maybe you make the graph and assign stickies to each square you can make the chart far more random and mitigating aiming.Anathematicianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690147218442114230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-88223791695329870642011-05-23T07:43:10.719-07:002011-05-23T07:43:10.719-07:00I made a dungeon with this on Saturday, and it wor...I made a dungeon with this on Saturday, and it worked like a dream!

It's very random if you don&#...@anathematician<br /><br />It's very random if you don't have the chart memorized. if you do, then close your eyes. Or spin the chart a random number of degrees.<br /><br />NOW: constructing a 10x10 bix then finding the location of the box and then rolling completely defeats the purpose of this particular chart--that is, to generate the entire dungeon very fast during play.<br /><br />If you're willing to make multiple rolls and slow things down then there are a million other better dungeon generators that will work at that speed. And there's no need for a chart.<br /><br />Also, if dice fall off, just drop them back on--makes sense if you;re willing to roll more than once anyway.<br /><br />Good, slow random dungeon generators are a dime a dozen. This thing is slippy since it's built for speed.Zak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-61109717855837290872011-05-20T17:08:10.394-07:002011-05-20T17:08:10.394-07:00I find the scatter not to be all that random depen...I find the scatter not to be all that random depending on how you drop or roll the dice. Many times the d12 and d20s are rolling off the paper as well - even if dropped into the middle of the chart.<br /><br />If you construct a 10 x 10 chart, could one not roll 2d10s ( for x and y axis)to get a box. Then assign a 3rd value to the box which you then roll - e.g d6 or d20.<br /><br />This would take a few more rolls but the effect is similar and removes rolling bias such as aiming for the corner, or dropping the dice too low so they cluster in the middle.<br /><br />Maybe I am just anal.Anathematicianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690147218442114230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-53084573666539028542011-05-20T12:31:17.292-07:002011-05-20T12:31:17.292-07:00Well, as someone who's submitting a few tables...Well, as someone who's submitting a few tables to that contest, I appreciate that! :)kesherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494262159858200847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-83318317275934129352011-05-20T10:56:59.284-07:002011-05-20T10:56:59.284-07:00@kesher
