Whats a good alternative to dice?

Question

I am trying to make a paper RPG to pass the time in some of my more boring lectures. I need an alternate because I would get caught, and piss off everyone around me by rolling dice.

Answer 1

At home, take a piece of paper and some dice and make many dice rolls and write them down in columns. When you're playing a game, pick a column at random and use the dice rolls in order. (Be honest, don't cheat by skipping a "bad" roll.)



Even if lectures are boring, you need to pay attention because you never can tell what's going to be on the test.

Answer 2

You could use a spinner

Cut out a hexagon and stick a piece of matchstick through the centre; number each of the edges of the hexagon 1 to 6.

Spin it.

You now have a random number generator, you may alter it to a square for 4 sided dice or an icosagon for 20 sided dice.

A spinner is silent and does not look like dice.

Answer 3

You can cut up pieces of equally sized paper and number them 1-6 and pick one per dice roll.

Answer 4

If you've got a smartphone, there are dicerolling apps.
