(Editor note: For internal review. This is still a proof of concept, but let’s not let investors catch on to that.)
Welcome to the Hand-Rolled Dice API, where randomness isn't just generated - it’s crafted by skilled hands. Unlike so-called "scientific" approaches relying on background radiation, atmospheric noise, or plain ol' Mersenne Twisters, our system delivers true, honest, and organic randomness, straight from the hands of skilled dice rollers.
Each number is hand-rolled, ensuring that no rolls come from a soulless algorithm. Our system upholds the values of sustainable, free-range randomness.
Unlike other noise-based approaches, our rolls are harvested from real dice - each one lovingly shaken and tumbled before being stored for use on our servers.
While lesser RNG systems rely on cold, uncaring mathematics, we adhere to the time-honoured traditions of tabletop gaming. Each roll carries the weight of history, blessed by the hands of those who have gone before us.
Every tabletop player knows that real dice rolls have that ineffable quality. In a test players favoured our hand-rolled outcomes almost 2 - 1 over outcomes generated with random.org.
Retrieve dice rolls and consume them.

Our API operates on a labour-based pricing model. Each roll represents the skilled craftsmanship of a dice-rolling artisan. Pricing is as follows:
- Free Tier, 50 dice rolls – Provided for testing. Note that returned rolls are recycled pre-used results.
- $15 per 100 dice rolls – Covering the cost of ethically-sourced dice and manual rolling labour.
- $60 per 500 dice rolls – Discounted rate for bulk requests, ensuring affordability for large campaigns.
- $150 per 1500 dice rolls – Premium tier, guaranteeing hand-picked rolls from our expert dice artisans.
- Custom Plans Available – Need more? Contact us for bespoke randomness solutions.
All funds go towards supporting the continuation of traditional, hand-rolled randomness in an era dominated by cold, heartless algorithms.
As we continue to redefine the industry, we're excited about the limitless potential of this scalable, premium, and entirely human-driven approach to randomness. With the right backing, we can revolutionize the world of dice-based decision-making, bringing handcrafted entropy to even greater heights.
Stay random. Stay real. 🎲
