What does randomness add to games, specifically tabletop games and RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons and (D&D, DnD)? Sure, rolling dice can be fun, but is more randomness really what we want? This is something I think about quite a bit and a lot of people have asking about in the comments section. This is my current thinking regarding randomness in game.
