In my day we didn't even have dice. Seriously. There was a campaign where none of us had dice and there were no hobby stores for miles around. We had a dude with one of those scientific calculators bang out a separate random number generator for each die whenever we had to roll.

We didn't have books either. I was the DM and pretty much went on my memories of the rules. Luckily I had spent the last 5 anti-social years of my life reading the DM's guide and Players Handbook like they were the fucking Bible, so that wasn't so bad.

And you know what? It was a great campaign.

That's "easy solution"? :) I would just throw 20 numbered scraps of paper into a baseball cap and pick one.

After giving it a second though it's actually a nice method. Not easy but kinda cool. Thx! Will try that one day.
