Yes, SPOKE - he figured the dice rolled more poorly, kind of like how no one is supposed to talk during a golf shot. Worst on his list of sins was if you called out NUMBERS while the dice were rolling. Apparently, the dice could "hear" you, or fate, karma, magick, what have you, would alter the probabilities of what was rolled.2) One player always flourished his dice -- he would roll it in his hand, in a swirly motion, and let it roll off the tips of his fingers. GOOD or BAD, if it didn't roll out of his hand in this fashion, it didn't count.3) One player developed a faux dice superstition -- he figured out that he seemed to roll better when he was cursing at the dice with a stream of four-letter words, and sometimes rolled better when he was shouting, "SATAN!!!!" in a gravelly voice as he rolled. Apparently, whether he was intimidating his dice, or calling on the Prince of Darkness, it worked. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
