Ever have a session like this?

[Quickbeam]

Jeph:
Both my wife and I each have one parent of Jewish upbringing and one from a Christian household...which means our kids (their grandchildren) get all kinds of fantastic presents for an entire month!! They've got it made .

Ekimus:
Fear Factor for dice -- it could be a local access cable show !!

JD:
I've got a good set of four d6's, but not quite that reliable. remind me to let you generate my PC stats if we start gaming together.

Number47:
Sounds like most of my double down opportunities in Vegas playing Blackjack a few weeks ago. On five 11's in a row at one point, I doubled down and drew a FREAKING ACE!! That sucked.

Henry:
Great story. Just perfect.

Airwolf:
It's OK to keep giving -- just arrange to get some dice in return for your generousity. Contrived? Yes. But so what if it works?

Also, when do we get to see the next honey in your sig line ?

Impressive Quickbeam, most impressive.

My "widowmaker" has certainly delivered 10-15 in a session (a few times, most likely), but 17 sounds like it would be tough to beat. Too bad you weren't near a casino. I'd have been tempted to try my luck at one after such a streak.

Yeah, get thee hence, Skaros, with your reality! I've yet to meet a player who wasn't superstitious about dice, myself included!

Then you should meet me. It's fun to freak out my group by saying "Don't roll a.." or "I need a...". There are always anguished cries of "Don't jinx the dice!" and glares if the roll does go wrong In fact, I'm so substitious* that I don't mind using any dice at all, even though I've got my own




* Substitious: Believes in things that nobody else does, but which nevertheless are true (as opposed to superstitious, where you believe in things everyone else does too - e.g. with dice - but which are untrue. (Thanks to Terry Pratchett)

Yeah, but they only work that well for me. Everyone else at my table wanted to use them after I did that, and although they got decent scores, mine were just incredible. The guy I play blood bowl with has also learned to fear my dice - they break through armor and cause injuries at a pretty scary clip.

Airwolf:

I kinda like the honey he's got right now, actually!

One particular d20 I own seemed (past tense) remarkable for rolling high numbers. We thought (past tense) of it as the "to hit/save" die in 1E and 2E, and for 3E it would of course be the "everything" die... except for one thing...

The red die has been contaminated!

I keep it in a bag with all my other (seemingly below-average) dice, and it's been quite a while since I've been able to really score with the red die... consistently, at least.

How's that for dice influencing each other?

K_S:
I wish you'd been there to advise me...Detroit and Windsor both have casinos, and that would have been the time to avenge my Vegas experience . Although, truth be told, despite the aforementioned run of bad luck on double bets, I still left the Bellagio and Venetian casinos up money.

shilsen:
We have the same entertaining chain of events in our group. Whenever the DM (usually me) says, "You succeed on anything but a 1," or "Don't roll high," you can be sure of what's going to occur next more often than not. It's one of the best and funniest parts about playing D&D IMO.

JD:
That's why I'd want you to generate my PC stats. Notice that I never asked to use your lucky dice -- I know better . As for Airwolf's current honey, I'm not complaining. I'm only asking when he plans to change the eye candy.

Marius:
Shame on you!! A pox upon your house!! Thou art hereby shunned and banished for your transgressions against the RPG community!!
Exceptional dice need special places of worship -- they must never be allowed to mingle with ordinary dice. Hopefully the fates will grant you one (or more) exceptional dice in the future, and you will better know how to treat them .

Here are some of the punishments that have been given to bad dice at our gaming table.

1. Axed in half.
2. Microwaved.
3. Buried in the back yard.
4. Thrown across the room.

One of our players recently had a new home built and we told him that he should put some dice in the wet concrete foundation of the house. One in each corner of the house.

It is considered bad form to have a dice roll off the table and hit the carpet. We call it "Carpet Burn".

 

[Marius Delphus]

Quickbeam: Oh, but I have already learned my lesson!

You see, I bought several dice from the same manufacturer, tipped a cat-o'-nine-tails with them, and have a routine of self-flagellation with the aforesaid. (These are Gamescience dice, so they are properly pointy and sharp.) This routine involves the cardinal directions, Egyptian cotton balls, brand-name rubbing alcohol, Gregorian chants, a sterling silver salt shaker, and an egg timer. I cannot reveal anything more specific for fear of offending the Red Die.

This is all just begging for forgiveness, of course. The actual worship, I trust, will be forthcoming as soon as the Red Die starts reliably bestowing high numbers on me again. ... If nothing else, the new dice might end up rolling decently. No, wait, an unworthy thought! Aaargh! I'm so-o-o sorry! (whimper)

Yellow Sign: Did he?

 

[Yellow Sign]

Yes he did, a 4, 6,10, and 20 sider are in his house's foundation.

Beautiful! Brilliant! I love it!
Has it helped?
