So bored at work I had Excel roll 3d6 36 times and graphed the results to see what kind of curve I'd get.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
looks like a middle finger
ReplyDeleteFuck you, you don't get any 16s, 17s, or 18s.
ReplyDeleteThe dice said, "Suck on my big 10." Lol

ReplyDeleteNow roll them 36 more times and compare the charts.
ReplyDeleteHere's 72 rolls.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/09cx7AggCSgbMt3xTX4sX3ePsHX7M1nDHSPqJ0YcQVMj18qOna2_UTEzqnFZ7mOLnWEGD_J5sDE
ReplyDeleteNot a single 17 or 18? You gots the bad luck, mang!
ReplyDeleteYou should have done these in red ink. Now it'd look like it's bleeding down the page.
ReplyDelete(What is wrong with me?)
I know it's not a big sample number, but that's a pretty uneven curve.

ReplyDeleteJoseph Teller but Anydice will show the expected curve, but a ‘runtime’ curve.
ReplyDeleteA runtime curve is something like this... app.roll20.net - QuantumRoll Status | Roll20: Online virtual tabletop
Casey G. Please have excel run that shit another 900k please.
I'll get right on that.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, for a recent generator I actually created a range with the proper expected values (one 3, three 4s, five 5s, etc) and then did an INDEX((3D6_Roll, randbetween(1,ROWS(3d6_Roll)),1)) - I haven't tested it for the curve it produces yet. I wonder if the results will be any different.
ReplyDeleteYou had Excel roll the dice but you made the graph on paper?
ReplyDeleteIt kept recalculating when I typed another number, even in a different sheet! I'm not an Excel guru.
ReplyDeleteNat aS I had the exact same thought.
ReplyDeleteNew way to stay entertained at work. I hadn't used the randbetween function before. Thanks.
