Source 9: Dice Play

Dice Play

This site explains Dice Notation, the way dice are spoken of in RPGs for example: 3d6, 1d20, 27d43.
3d6 is notation for three: six sided dice, 1d20 is one: 20 sided die and 27d43 (not actually possible with traditional dice) is 27: 43 sided dice.

I chose this because Dice notation is actually part of the probability in dice and determines the probability to reaching a certain outcome for example 1d6 meaning one: six sided die, has a flat probability as all numbers have the same probability of being rolled, however, 3d6 meaning three: six sided dice have a bell curve of reaching certain results thus making the extremes less probable than a number closer to the middle result (10.5).

Starting Capstone Subject Area: Role Playing Games

My subject area is Role Playing Games.

A Role Playing Game or RPG is a game mixed in with collaborative story-telling where players make characters and usually one player acts as a referee, this is usually known as "The Game Master" or GM.

Most players make characters in a certain setting and develop them through various interactions from diplomacy to combat.

Overall RPGs have been a part of my life for years now. And with time has developed to be a part of who I am. This project sums up a decent fraction of my personality.

Probability with Dice

This site gives lessons and info on the probability of dice. This goes from the chance of certain numbers being rolled and what various numbers can show up at a given time.

The reason i chose this site is because it details my final focus in this project: Dice probability. Dice probbility is one of the most random things in the universe, most people can't control the outcome of dice.

Source 1: Manga Guide to Statistics

My first source is The Manga Guide to Statistics. This book gives you lessons on statistics and probability with the wrapping of manga and comics.

The Reason i am using this book as a source is that it delves into probability which is the deeper part of my capstone project. Also it's in manga form so it's entertaining as well.
