Let Google Help You Be a Dungeon Master
Google has a plethora of cool calculators and Easter eggs if you just know what to search for. “How many calories are in a brownie?” “Graph y equals 36x squared minus 7x plus 3.” But those are not quite as fun as rolling D20 dice… Or any dice.
Simple Google Search
Go to google.com
Roll a Die
In the search box simply tell Google to roll a die. A six sided die will animate.
D20
A D20 die is a 20 sided die. D&D fans are very familiar with these.
Type d20 into the search. A dice roll animates.
Choose your dice type. D20 refers to a 20 sided die so d6 refers to a regular 6 sided die. Want a different sided die? Continue the pattern.
