And so yet ANOTHER group of gamers learn of my extraordinary "luck" at rolling dice, even electronic ones
You've got nothing on my last game of Alternity, I bet. I was playing a tech specialist whose primary skillset was computer hacking and secondary was space pilot. I had only rudimentary combat skills.
We encountered at least three computers that had important plot information on them, and every single time I tried to hack in, I got a critical failure and wiped the hard drive. I finally despaired of fulfilling my chosen role, so I started putting skill points into piloting instead. That went okay for a little while, but then we had to run a blockade. I failed a piloting roll to avoid enemy fire, and it came down to needing to succeed at three more piloting rolls to escape or make a blind jump with one navigation roll. I figured the odds were slightly better with the blind jump, even though a failure would mean instant death to everyone. Fortunately, I made that roll, but we came out in our target system heavily damaged—there was no way we'd be able to survive another fight without repairs.
Our job was to stealthily slip into the system and land on the planet where the climax of the story was to take place. I had to make a couple of rolls to avoid detection. Failed 'em. Then I had some combat piloting rolls to evade the pursuers. Failed 'em. Then some more piloting rolls to try to crash-land on the target planet. Failed 'em. In fact, the GM gave me six opportunities to land the ship, with progressively worse consequences each time. The last one was after the rest of the crew had abandoned ship; the GM told me I could either leave with the others or make one last-ditch attempt to save at least a few pieces of wreckage. Knowing that without a ship, we'd be stranded on the planet forever, I tried one last time. And failed, dying when the ship hit the planet.
Afterward, I calculated the odds of failing that many consecutive piloting rolls. It came out to something like .0007%. To say nothing of all the rolls I'd failed prior.
On the other hand, every time we got into a small arms fight, I outperformed the combat specialists with spectacular successes on every shot.
edit: Then again, I just looked back through your recent rolls. The chances of rolling five or less on five consecutive d20 rolls is .0009%.
