Stupid Question but in order to "roll your own seed" do the dice only need to be 6 sided? Can it be like a D4 and a D20 then next roll D6 and D20(different die)
No, the 50 rolls number that's thrown around is based on 6 sided common dice... if you used a D20 die, each roll is more bits, so you'd only need 30 ish rolls
