Frequently Asked Questions

How random are the results from this generator?

This tool uses high-quality pseudorandom number generation algorithms to ensure results are as random as possible within a computer system. The randomness is suitable for educational and recreational purposes.

What's the maximum number of names I can enter for group creation?

There is no strict limit on the number of names you can enter, but for optimal performance, we recommend keeping your list under 100 names. The tool will distribute names as evenly as possible among your specified number of groups.

Can I save or export my random results?

Currently, you can copy and paste the results into another document. We're working on adding direct export functionality in a future update to allow saving results as text or CSV files.

What does the "unique numbers only" option do?

When checked, this option ensures that each random number generated is unique (no duplicates). This is useful for applications like lottery number generation or random sampling without replacement.

Why would I use a D20 or D100 dice?

Different dice types serve various purposes. D20 (20-sided) dice are commonly used in role-playing games to determine success of actions, while D100 (percentile dice) are useful for calculating percentage chances or creating random tables with many options.
