Baj, I just realized this should even be very simple with TW 5.2.
The following gives a random number between 0-9
{{{ [<now "XXX">split[]last[]] }}}
i.e it is the Now macro and uses the last fraction of a second which, for
all practical purposes, is a random digit. Needs to be remade into 1 out of
6 for your case which I'm afraid I can't help you with but I'd think there
is some simple way.
The only issue might be that you may find such a die very sensitive as it
would update as soon as anything refreshes in the wiki.
