Summer was drawing to a close, and I found myself at my friend Max’s house. Max was having us over to host my friend circle’s weekly Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) event. An ulterior motive, however, did (relatively) exist: Max was having us move some miscellaneous furniture around the house.

Playing the game there was Hunter, Ian, Keagan, Max (obviously), Stephen, and Me. Aside from the one’s I’ve just listed, there was also Breck. Breck was the Dungeon Master (DM).
D&D, for the uninitiated, is a table-top game that requires a hefty imagination and enough wrist strength to roll a die. A famous die used for the game is the dodecahedron die, or the d20.

After a bit of research, I figured out that to create an effective random number picker I would need to include the module “time.” I would then call on the variable for my roll to equal a random number that’s equal to a random variable of time with the division remainder of twenty and
