I noticed nobody has commented on this one. Is it legit?
It is, but I'm not sure how much time some of those would save over re-rolling 1/6th or 1/8th of the time.
I've noticed some mentions of various online utilities; Purple Sorceror is an obvious candidate. I LOVE the PS stuff - it actually got me to buy DCC. My only problem with it, and online (P)RNGs generally, is that I don't trust the randomness coming out of 'em. The serialization you sense from time to time - it's real, and a problem for some people (eg me).
So, if you have a laptop or mobile device handy when you game, or you game online, and you're making random decisions with tools you find on the internets, I'd like to introduce you to the only truly random online number generator I know of:

If you want to get your geek on about why this is a true RNG (not a "pseudo" or PRNG as is usual in computing), read this:

Enjoy!
