Is this the same as rolling one die?

For the number it gives you, yes: six outcomes, each with the same chance. It is not a physical die, so it has no weight, no bevelled edges and no table to bounce off, which is why it cannot be biased by any of those things. If you want dice notation, several dice at once or a modifier, the dice roller does 2d6, d20 and 3d6+2, and the notation box under this generator takes the same.

How do I roll two dice?

Type 2d6 into the Roll dice box below and press Roll. It shows the total and each die separately, which is what you need for a board game where doubles matter. Setting How many to 2 up here is not the same thing: it gives you two numbers rather than their sum.

Can I get a 1 six times in a row?

Yes, and about once in every 46,656 sets of six rolls you will. Runs like that are what real randomness looks like; a generator that spread the numbers out evenly to feel fairer would be predictable, which is worse.

Why does no number appear when the page loads?

A roll made while the page was still loading is a roll you did not make. The range is set for you and the roll waits for the button, so what you get is a roll you asked for.

Random Number Generator, 1 to 6

The range on this page is already 1 to 6, the faces of an ordinary die, so pressing Draw a number is a roll. Each face has the same one-in-six chance, taken from your browser's cryptographic generator and mapped onto six values by rejection rather than by a remainder, so no face is quietly favoured.

Values come from your browser's cryptographic random source, not a seeded pseudo-random generator, and the range is sampled without modulo bias so every value is equally likely. Suitable for draws and testing; for cryptographic keys, use a purpose-built key generator.
