At the risk of sounding pompous this is a really great idea. What is printed below is a page of random numbers. What that is, is the equivalent of over 2000 dice rolls of a decimal die. You can use this table for any set of rules that operate with decimal dice system. Just start anywhere on the table and each time you need a roll just read off the digit. You must keep the table covered or better still, it gives the referee something to do. This simple idea saves the incredible amount of time given over to rolling dice, blowing on them (baby needs a new pair of shoes), and the incessant looking for them. in one evening game in a very limited time frame, we ran off twelve turns. It was the opinion of all those present that the use of this table was one of the main reasons for actually finishing the game in a 3 hour session. Try it, it works to no one's disadvantage and is extremely clean and fast. I even prefer it to my Random number generator and I paid $30 for that brute. Don't be afraid to try it. It is purer chance than the use of dice and isn't that what we are after?
