It explains the concept of rejection sampling to ensure fair rolls for non-power-of-2 sized dice, and explores the advanced use of discarded values for cryptographic purposes. The methodology works for standard dice like 6-sided and 20-sided dice, as well as more complex configurations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
