[QUOTE="Wofano Wotanto, post: 9358198, member: 7044704"] Let's just put this on the right thread this time... There was that time in a high school AD&D game where I loaned a new player some dice from my Halloween Happy Meal dice bucket and they spent the entire evening unable to hit much of anything or make a save. It was really frustrating and he never played with us again until well after we'd all graduated from college. I discovered after the game that I'd handed him one of those accursed old-fashioned d10s that were actually a twenty-sider numbered 1-10 twice. How the blasted thing escaped getting half-colored with the rest of them (I must have had ten of them from various boxed RPGs and wargames over the years) I don't know, but we played for three hours and none of the experienced players at the table noticed the mistake. The new guy noticed it only went to ten, but thought that was normal since it still had twenty sides and he wasn't paying attention to other folks' rolls. If I'd still had the fool thing when he finally came back to gaming with us I'd have let him smash it with a hammer or bean me in the head with it, as he preferred. [/QUOTE]
