It was probably a CHAMPIONS campaign.
A nasty bad-guy had placed about a dozen bombs around a shopping mall (with overlapping areas of effect) and the PCs screwed up taking him out before he could use his remote detonator. Each bomb had a ~91% chance of detonating (activate on 14 or less on 3d6). I expected a bloodbath among the shoppers as 10 bombs went off.
I told the group what was about to happen. I rolled in the open.
3 went off no overlap between them. Several people were injured. None died.
