Rolling dice is important in Dragons of 1066, and this digital version employs the True Roll dice system. True Roll lets you, not the computer, roll the dice, generating fair results through your own throwing action, just as you would when playing the box game.
When you throw the dice in Dragons of 1066, the strength and direction of your throw plus how long you shook the dice combine to make your True Throw.
Before the game begins, the server generates one random number - the True Table. Your True Throws are combined with the True Table to find your roll results. After the game begins, no computer generated random numbers are used at all.
For the truly hardcore, at the beginning of each game you get a digital signature of the game's True Table. And at the end of a game, you get the game history with all the True Rolls plus the full True Table. The True Roll algorithm is public, so you can run the numbers yourself and prove to your dice-raging friend there was no funny business.
The True Table uses a rolling seed. Therefore, the same True Roll input will result in different die rolls at different points in the game. Furthermore, the True Table is big enough, that a game would need to last thousands of years for a cheater to gather enough information to even theoretically be able to work it out.
Is all this overkill for a simple random number? Maybe. But your dice-rolling mojo is not to be trifled with. At Huge Workshop, we love rolling dice. For times when you can't roll the physical dice around a board with friends, we want to recreate that experience as best we can. And that means True Roll.
