Roll dice, get letters, type words, post results

You will need: a d20; a d6; a d8.

1. Roll 3d6 2d6. You can reroll ones, if you want. The resulting sum is how many words will be in the sentence.
2. Roll Xd20, where X is the result of the 2d6. These rolls will tell you what the first letter of each word will be. 1-19 all give you the corresponding letters, but if you roll 20, then roll a d8. In this roll, 1 and 8 give you T, while 2, 3, 4, and so on will give you U, V, W, and ditto. If you get a repeat or a letter that you really don't want to look for a word for, you can reroll it.
3. Type the sentence. It can make as much or as little sense as works for you. If you want, you can follow it with another with the same number of words, but starting with each letter in reverse.
4. Post results.

Example:

• 3d6: 2 + 3 + 4 = 9.
• 9d20: 14, 7, 18, 18, 8, 9, 2, 11, 4 -> N, G, R, R, H, I, B, K, D.
• No grumpy rooster reveals his inward beliefs killed dogs. Damn kids burned its house, rather regretfully given news.

Finally, heavy Norwegians introduced Jenny’s omnipresent quagmires into light fortune; I persuaded omnipotent raptors afterwards.

Woops, sorry about that.

• 3d6: 4 + 4 + 6 = 14.
• 14d20: 16, 5, 4, 9, 7, 12, 8, 11, 17, 14, 15, 14, 9, 8. P, E, D, I, G, L, H, K, Q, N, O, N, I, H.
• Peculiar enemies divulge ideas given leave, holding keys quietly, never once needing ink's help.

...Maybe 2d6 would've been a better idea. :/

EDIT: Uh, actually all fifteen words should be in the same sentence. I'm thinking maybe 3d6 is too much; it gets awkward.

EDIT 2: You can cheat and use a semicolon if you want.

• 2d6 this time: 3 + 5 = 8
• 8d20: 6, 14, 19, 10, 1, 15, 6, 16. F, N, S, J, A, O, F, P.
• Flighty ne'er-do-wells sell Jamaican anchovies on failing premises. Police find out a jumpy sailor needs facilities.

Still haven't gotten a twenty. :/

For people who are lazy, this bookmarklet code should speed up the game a little:

javascript: var alpha1="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS"; var alpha2="TUVWXYZT"; function roll(count,faces) {var result=0; while(count>0) {result+=Math.floor(Math.random()*faces)+1; count--;} return result;} function getletter() {var r=roll(1,20); switch(r) {case 20: return alpha2[roll(1,8)-1]; default: return alpha1[r-1];}} function go() {var r1=roll(2,6); var t=""; while(r1>0) {t=t+(getletter()+(r1>1?" ":"")); r1--;} document.write(t);} go();

Tested and works in Firefox. Feel free to edit a copy into the OP. :)

EDIT: Tested and works in Firefox only before getting screwed up by the parser. Should be fixed now. Sorry.

o_0 You underestimate my laziness. I have absolutely no idea what that is or how to use it. Actual dice are good enough for me, and I should think one could find a decent free dice roller via Google or similar if one didn't have 'em.

The Hypertext has a decent one.

• 2d6: 6 + 2 = 8
• 8d20: 16, 19, 11, 15, 4, 19, 1, 14. P, S, K, O, D, S, A, N.
• Past scars kindle old deals, sacrificing ancient natures. Nascent animosity starts deadly overtures, killing scared psychopaths.

• 2d6: 3+5=8
• 8d29: 1,18,1,7,18,15,15,19 -> A R A G R O O S.
