Is there a way to randomize the file for download?

I am currently trying to make a booster pack mechanic for my physical game and I would like to have several combinations of the files that contain different characters, is there a way (maybe using the butler command) so that the file will be randomized every time they purchase or download?

Many thanks in advance 

i dont think its possible, you'll need to make the art in 1000 ways for characters and or stuff. The easiest way i can think of doing this is by doing what Cryptokitties did "cryptocollectible": https://www.cryptokitties.co/

This still means you have to make the art but at least you dont have to do the full body, you can just add swords, hats, body, mouth, etc to the program. The art gets  random which is what you want and players get something. On itch.io it doesn't actually support crypto yet but you can do 1 of 2 things, first you make a website to give players a random booster pack or two, a software to give boosters.

Hi there, 

Thanks for the tip! For now i just want to have i.e. 5 different set of pdf files and in 2 of those I will include the rarer character in it. And whenever someone click download, they will get a random pdf file. 

Randomizing each character like cryptokitties would be awesome too, maybe i will  think about that when im having my own website for this project! :)
