1d9 · one choice from 9 outcomes
Nine outcomes make a D9 a useful address picker for a small board. It can also choose one of nine names, prompts, or activities. Number the entries clearly and the unusual die size becomes an ordinary practical tool.

Number a 3 × 3 grid from left to right, top to bottom: 1–3 in the first row, 4–6 in the second, and 7–9 in the third. A 5 selects the center. Each square has a one-in-nine chance, approximately 11.11%.
Use one D9 for a numbered grid square. If you prefer coordinates, read two D3s separately as row and column. The individual pair matters; its sum loses the coordinate information.
Number nine positions, nine character traits, or nine available activities. Agree on the numbering before the roll so the result is easy for everyone to interpret.
The average face is 5, which is also the center square in the illustrated numbering. The center is still no more likely than any corner: each square has one of nine outcomes.
Adding two D3s does not choose nine positions uniformly. The sum ranges only from 2 to 6. Two separately labeled D3 rolls can instead select a row and a column, giving nine equally likely pairs.
