Keleth,

Can you confirm the configuration of the Blue (boost) die for EOTE? Looking at one physically I see the following six sides:

1: blank
2: blank
3: 1 advantage
4: 2 advantage
5: 1 advantage 1 success
6: 1 success

I think that means in a set of ~20 dice we should see 6-7 blanks, and it seems like we're seeing closer to 10/11. Could be I'm just being unlucky, but I thought I'd ask. :)

That is what it's coded to, but a number of people have noted rolls are going low (and low on the EOTE dice means blanks). I gotta look into the algorithm I'm using to see if its weighting low.

Acknowledged, thanks!

Hey Keleth, how are you generating the random numbers for the dice rolls? If you're pulling from /dev/urandom I have a trick to eliminate biases like that.

I use a PHP function called mt_rand. To the best of my knowledge, its the best random number function PHP has.
