Mood-Sensing D20 Nudges Your Dice Rolls

A twenty-sided die built around a capacitive-touch PCB and LEDs not only shows rolls on demand but also tracks lucky and unlucky streaks. When luck is streaky, the die may glitch or silently discard future inputs to bias results toward high (16-20) or low (1-6) ranges, effectively mirroring and subtly shifting outcomes based on mood. Each unit is seeded differently, giving unique behavior, and the creator plans a public GitHub release with the design files for makers.
