Most things in life are not random. Vaugn did not "roll a nat 1" -- she went out there when she was not up to the task. Yes, she was an...

I didn't see this explicitly called out on the flipmat subscriptions, but it's possible either it got omitted in the new store or I just...

I'm going to throw in a related concept - if you're an expert in something you should (almost) never fail. Some systems explicitly code...
