I'm sorry, what is hash table in this context?

I'm reasonably sure it'd be a list of numbers that just translate.actual die rolls to a new set.

Roll a natural 6 on a d6, look at that simple table, you got a 2. Roll a natural 3, get a 6.

Ratcheting the table would be moving a row, so ratcheting this table by 1 would make it

So now you have a new arrangement.

Yeah, except my players were usually quite badass math people, so I get to use reasonably strong crypto (well, not proper crypto, but strong enough against manual attack) stuff for ratcheting. Often it was just OTP (when I'm being lazy). Then everyone just got annoyed with math arms race and we stopped using dice almost entirely.
