Shit are D100's real?
Yes, but it's not what you're picturing probably. They count up by 10 from 00-90 and are usually rolled with a d10 so that you can get all the numbers between 1-100.
Just to clarify, that's usually 2 d10s. One with the decimals (10,20...90) like you said, and another with the units. (1,2...9).
Also, zeroes in both dice are considered 100.
On another note, there are actually single dice that go from 1 to 100, but they're more of a novelty thing and don't roll super well.
It depends whether you want 00-99 or 1-100. Eclipse Phase, for example, uses 00-99 so that criticals (which are on doubles) are evenly distributed. It compensates by making success only on a roll strictly less than, not less-than-or-equal-to, your target.
