Its hard to have a proper discussion about RNG without watching first The Blood of Heroes with Rutheg Hauer. Watch it first and then you can move on.
I want to drive closer attention to rules of Jugger, time keeping to be exact. You have an old guy with 100 stones and a gong. He is throwing stones at a gong. Game starts and ends with 1st and last stone. Here:
Now imagine watching fifa game which length would be determined in same way. Commentators would be like: he is barely standing, we are predicting 30min longer game than usual.
Later on, after careful consideration referee would decide add 5 more stones.
Time itself becomes non deterministic.
Now when you play your perfect rpg, imagine that behind each dice roll there is temporary universe spun up. It contains only old man with his stones and a referee with pocket atomic clock. He counts seconds of old man performance and returns value modulo 20.
How do you like your RNG systems now?
