Dice Tables For Generating Passwords and
Random Characters

Here are some tables to aid you in producing random strings of characters or digits using

dice. While the effort is a tad tedious, the result is random quantities of the highest

quality.

Roll a die three times (or roll three dice) for each character and then select one of the

following three tables, based on what the first roll says. Roll all three dice again

whenever a blank appears in the table:

If first roll=1 or 2 3 or 4 5 or 6
Second Roll Second Roll Second Roll
1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6

T 1 A B C D E F a b c d e f ! @ # $ % ^
h 2 G H I J K L g h i j k l & * ( ) - =
i 3 M N O P Q R m n o p q r + [ ] { } \
r 4 S T U V W X s t u v w x | ` ; : ' "
d 5 Y Z 0 1 2 3 y z ~ _ sp < > / ? . ,
6 4 5 6 7 8 9

The table entry "sp" means a space character. If you do not want spaces in your

password, roll all three dice again whenever you get "sp." If you only want letters and

numbers, just use the leftmost table; if you only want letters, roll again if you get a

digit. For random special characters, use the rightmost table.

Use the table on the left, below, for generating random decimal numbers; use the table on

the right for generating random hexadecimal numbers:

First Roll First Roll
1 2 3 4 5 6 | 1 2 3 4 5 6

S 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 | 0 1 2 3 4 5
e 2 6 7 8 9 0 1 | 6 7 8 9 A B
c 3 2 3 4 5 6 7 | C D E F 0 1
o 4 8 9 0 1 2 3 | 2 3 4 5 6 7
n 5 4 5 6 7 8 9 | 8 9 A B C D
d 6 | E F
