We’ve seen a lot of questions about balance, so instead of just saying “it’s fine,” we decided to actually test it. We rolled one of our inclusion d20s 1,000 times.

What should a fair die look like?

On a perfectly fair 20-sided die, you’d expect each number to come up about 50 times in 1,000 rolls.

In real life, randomness isn’t perfectly even - some numbers show up a little more, some a little less. That variation is normal and expected.

What did we see?

Across 1,000 rolls:

No number dominated.

We checked the stats, too

We also ran a standard statistical fairness test (the kind used to evaluate dice and random processes). The results fell well within a 95% confidence interval, meaning the small ups and downs we saw are exactly what you’d expect from a fair die.

These are inclusion dice, not casino-precision dice. But based on both the large number of rolls and the statistical results, this die is balanced and fair for tabletop play.

Thanks for asking good questions - we’ll see you soon for launch!
