Board-game and video-game strategy readers
Worth noticing
The dice calculator offers exact sum probabilities and a histogram, and says calculations happen locally in the browser.

Field notes

The sample explainers move from dice sums and drawing without replacement to resource growth in 4X games and variance in critical-hit damage. A comparison table names each mechanic’s complexity, variability, and baseline model. The page says its calculator processes choices locally in the browser; company and contact details are listed, though their accuracy cannot be confirmed from this extract.
