I've read about newer Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) dice rolling methods for

Maybe roll five and drop two?  How is it anything other than Monty Haul?!

9d6!  The courageousness of it.
5e I think most use either point buy or the default array, so no rolling at all.  Really that's been true since 3.5e at least.
