Five dice showing 41,256, which denotes "monogram" on an updated EFF cryptographic word list. Diceware is a method for creating passphrases, passwords, and other cryptographic variables using ordinary dice as a hardware random number generator. For each word in the passphrase, five rolls of a six-sided die are required.
Four-sided dice, abbreviated d4, [1] are often used in tabletop role-playing games to obtain random integers in the range 1–4. Three forms exist of this die : a tetrahedron (pyramid shape) with four equilateral triangle -shaped faces, a rectangular prism with rounded or pointed ends, and an elongated long die with four triangular faces.
Random.org (stylized as RANDOM.ORG) is a website that produces random numbers based on atmospheric noise. [1] In addition to generating random numbers in a specified range and subject to a specified probability distribution, which is the most commonly done activity on the site, it has free tools to simulate events such as flipping coins, shuffling cards, and rolling dice.

Dice towers have been used since at least the fourth century, in an attempt to ensure that dice roll outcomes were random. [1] The Vettweiss-Froitzheim Dice Tower is a surviving example, used by Romans in Germany; it has essentially the same design as modern examples, with internal baffles to force the dice to rotate more randomly.
Dice of different sizes being thrown in slow motion. A die (sg.: die or dice; pl.: dice) [1] is a small, throwable object with marked sides that can rest in multiple positions. Dice are used for generating random values, commonly as part of tabletop games, including dice games, board games, role-playing games, and games of chance.
Before modern computing, researchers requiring random numbers would either generate them through various means (dice, cards, roulette wheels, [5] etc.) or use existing random number tables. The first attempt to provide researchers with a ready supply of random digits was in 1927, when the Cambridge University Press published a table of 41,600 ...
