[QUOTE="Thotas, post: 3415943, member: 18974"] Mike was a dice-thrower. Not when he got angry with other players or DM; we had a pretty good group as far as that sort of thing, and we didn't have those sorts of conflicts. Mike did have a problem with the fact that his dice were subject to the full distribution predicted by laws of probability, and would fling them (not just the offending dice, oh no) about and loudly complain in colorful vocabularies when the low end came up under severely dangerous conditions. It was simply an emotional release for Mike, and we laughed about it rather than complain about it. But the one we all remember was the day a die was flung with full force and zero regard to which direction it was flying. It struck the DM in the center of his forehead, just above the eyes. The hollow "[I]thonk[/I]" sound immediately ended his fit, as he froze in place and silence descended on the whole table. The pause was broken by the DM saying, quite flatly and plainly, "That felt like a six." We all busted up laughing and play resumed. [/QUOTE]
