well, it isn't TOO easy.  there are a couple built in routines, but if all you
need is small integers, then jimmy mardell's routine is really good:

;Randomization routine by Jimmy Mardell
PRandom:	       ; Creates a pseudorandom number 0 <= x < A
   ld b,a
   ld a,r
   add a,a
   ld hl,0
   ld d,0
   ld e,a
RMul:
   add hl,de
   djnz RMul
   ld a,h
   ret
