ive been working on this nuclear powered* dice for TTRPGs on and off for about 4 years
maybe it’ll finally be a distributable kit or set of plans by the time that community has an interest in non-standard dice
*uses uranium glass and a Geiger tube to make VERY high quality random numbers

ly cool
give me the uranium probability machine
Yours probably generates numbers faster, and works deeper underground.
(Clear plastic with embedded tritium vials for a really disappointing glow in the dark)

As a computer scientist I find this interesting, and also as a nuclear physics enthusiast 🥰
Honestly, I've always wondered why they haven't used more of these. You can make a very small module that did this using solid state, but we keep using pseudo rnd
I don't need it for dice but I do have a room full of cryptographers I need to troll the crap out of
still got a pcb revision to check from uhhh a few years ago
