I've been messing with that in my number game. You could try setting up 2 rules instead of just one to make it seem more random (when really it's less random).

For example, if you want a number out of 10, but you don't want a whole string of numbers above 5 say:

Rule: lastNumber > 5
newNumber = random (1, 5)

otherwise:
newNumber = random (6, 10)

At least this guarantees you won't keep getting the same numbers. You could make more rules depending on how spread out you want it to be.
