Welcome to my page on dice. Dice have always been fascinating to me, from
my youth when my grand-parents would play card and dice games with me,
through my time with my friends playing various role-playing games, to
today where I have a decent collection of various kinds of dice and spend
some of my spare time working with mathematics related to dice. Below is
a gathering of dice related information I've either created or found
useful.

- Games::Dice::Probability
I've published a perl module for calculating probabilities for
complex dice expressions. It is available via CPAN
as well as from this site. It is a work in progress, but it is
functional and initial testing has shown it to be incredibly
fast. I recommend giving it a try.
- Dice Probabilities Worksheet
The DPW is an Excel spreadsheet that takes number of dice and
number of sides as input, and automatically calculates the
probabilities of each value, as well as automatically defines
graphs for the distribution. All real-time. This is the
product of years of work, fine-tuning the math, streamlining
the interface, et cetera. While it is not as flexible as G::D::P,
it does a lot for very simple NdS dice expressions. Versions:
v1.1, v1.0.
