- LolWolf 9y agoOh, interesting, did not know that! I guess I only now just realized that 24d10 is 10 dice with 24 values (I just read the GGP and thought, oh 240 uniform is easy to make)... there's probably some nice way to emulate that with 1-bit RNGs in expected finite (ideally small!) time. EDIT: I screwed up again, 24d10 is 24 dice with 10 values. Oops. Point is still roughly the same!
