Role-Playing Game
From: Meli Connor
Date: 5 May 2008
Hi, I'd like to thank you for making this great random generator! I
discovered it a few days ago, looking for an online random integer
generator for this roleplaying game I am setting up, and Random.org
has more than met the requirements! I also admit, its quite fun to
generate tens of thousands of binary codes, and translate them in a
binary translator, to see what the 'atmosphere' is saying. Anyways,
thanks a bunch!

Dog Races
From: Frank Hopkins from somewhere in the US

Dr. Haahr
I used a list of your new random numbers in your new set generator
for the dog races on Friday March 14, 2008. Using your sets on the
last 4 of 13 races generated 2 trifectas. The sets I use are chosen
by calculating over and over until the sets generated line up with
the previous winning numbers. In this particular case I used races
1 thru 9 and matched them with the sets generated. Of course
their is not a 100% match for all numbers. However the way
the races are set up the 1st three finishing positions are the
ones to key on.
Attributes for Video Game Characters
From: Scott Bins from Green Bay in Wisconsin, USA
Date: 22 July 2006
I use random.org to generate random
attribute numbers for sports video games when creating new players. Useful
for putting my friends in the game without being tempted to make them really
good. Most of the time they wind up as an average to good player, and every
now and then they wind up as a superstar.

Massive Multiplayer Role-Playing Game (MMORPG)
From: Archie Angelmann from Rabid Panda Games
Date: 26 October 2005
In our
newest game, Starships,
we have made extensive use of your random numbers. Your random
numbers are used in everything from the dispersment of game
targets, rewards, patterns of asteroids...well EVERYTHING that
should be random. The human mind can tell when something is
truly random, and when it isn't, so your numbers make everything
in the game look and feel right. THANK YOU!
Generating Names for Computer Games
From: Karen Moody-Springer from BreakAway Games
Date: 25 August 2005
I'm using your random number generator to pick first and
last names for characters from a spreadsheet for a computer
game called "A Force More Powerful" - a game designed to teach
nonviolent resistance groups how to fight for democracy
without using violence.

Lottery Tickets
From: Frank Lichtenberg who works as a research scientist at the University of Augsburg in Germany
Date: 30 September 2003
Donation: Concern
My original reason to look for a random
integer generator was to obtain some numbers for a
lottery. However, independent of this specific intention, I
wanted to use a "good and nice" generator. Then I found yours
and I like the principle on which it is based very much. Also it
is very convenient because it offers many options. It was just
the perfect generator for which I was looking for! I appreciate
your work very much to establish this random integer
generator.
Dungeons & Dragons
From: Brian Rouse
Date: 30 August 2003
I'm an aspiring Dungeon Master (the
guy behind the screen Toto warns you about) and I use Random.org
for everything, nearly. Character stats, I simulate 6 sets of 3
six sided dice for a quick and dirty 'customized' character. If
I need a map quickly, I use the Dungeon's Masters Guide dice
tables and simulate about 100 dice rolls for dungeon layout,
decoration, and monster placement. Random encounters, check.
In fact I could use Random.org for all my needs, as the entire
D&D game is based on the random rolls of 6, 8, 10, 20, or 100
sided dice. But where's the fun in that? I'm planning to move
my computer (one of them) to my den so I can run rolls quicker
than normal, but I think I'll keep my big bag o' dice at my side
just to keep my players on their toes. Thanks for the great
service!
