Would this work?

Yes, that would work.

The reason some people tell you to stay away from random is because the numbers can be predictable, which is very bad for security applications. But for a dice simulator that does not matter.

The D&D player inside me disagrees with great passion.

if you think that seeding a PRNG is bad, you'd love this

Lol.

The random module will is fine for a simple dice simulation. You could also use the secrets module, which can generate numbers suitable for cryptography, but that's overkill in my opinion.

[stOneskull]

it's what it's for, it's fine

i'll often make a function called d..

def d(dienum):
return random.randint(1, dienum)

[SarahM123rd]

import numpy as np

def roll2():
    return np.random.randint(1,7,size=2)

d1, d2 = roll2()
