The best story I remember hearing (I think it was from a DVD about DnD players) was a guy whose prized d20 kept rolling 1's. In frustration he took it outside, poured lighter fuel on it, set it on fire then took a golf club and thwacked it out of the garden. The dice fractured on impact with the club leaving just one shard spinning like a top on the ground where the offending dice had been sacrificed....when the shard stopped spinning it toppled over to reveal the 1 staring back up at him mockingly! That's the sort of luck I was having during this game!BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-46801387586618274382012-04-08T14:06:48.742+01:002012-04-08T14:06:48.742+01:00Looked like a great game.

My dice rolling is also abysmal - gaming partners will not use a die that I have touched and keep a special container of dice for my use. It goes without saying that I never play craps1.<br />I watched a DBA game at Historicon several years ago where one of the players brought a long several well painted 15mm cattle with his army. Whenever he absolutely needed a die roll to go his way, he would "sacrifice" one of the cattle with a large hammer then roll the dice. It seemed to work!<br />Charge! There are no lead widows.<br />Dick BryantDick Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243435682283381550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-54192002463791657112012-04-08T10:34:55.797+01:002012-04-08T10:34:55.797+01:00Great photos.
