Are we sure this thing is actually fairly random? Lol!
Just played a game that was pretty epic on the bad scale. I think maybe 2-4 stuns against a Slann team with my Chaos. Meantime, I think he injured 3-4 of my guys?
Claw and Mighty Blow did nothing. Ive seen bad before, and maybe this was literally the worst luck I've ever had playing Blood Bowl, I mean one of them has to be, right? Hahaha...either way...BRUTAL. |

If you say so. Never seen anything like that, in thousands of games of Blood Bowl, but like I said, there has to be a "worst" game out there somewhere for everyone. |

"Did you know? The number of matches played is 2358783."
Anything happens eventually. 
And personally I've played/watched quite a few games where C-(PO)MB did nothing and the opposition had more luck CAS-wise. |

I've played over 2500, I've seen a lot of stunners. Roll enough dice, stuff happens. |

Quick answer: Yes, the RNG is good.
One interesting thing about the RNG used is the same instance across all games. In a table-top analog, you can think of it as if there was a single set of dice that were shared across all games played. A more correct way of thinking is that there is a single die used for all rolls; call it a d24 to allow d6 and d8 to be calculated from a single die (the code actually rolls a d256 with some special casing to make it "fit" the particular die being rolled; e.g. 6*42 = 252, meaning a d256 roll of higher than 252 is rerolled).
If the RNG was broken, it'd be broken in the same way for everyone. There simply isn't a way for the RNG code to favour a particular coach or team. It simply doesn't get the information who is making the roll. |

That is interesting, but my log says otherwise.
There's a conspiracy in these woods.

Play enough games, you'll see pro elves beat chaos to a pulp.
Rabe that signature is kinda big... maybe consider re-sizing or cropping |

For a well-grounded, yet truly inspiring view on probability I recommend watching this guy's take on what probability is, even:
...probability isn't a fact about the world. Probability is a fact about an observer's knowledge [of the world].
(skip to 3:05 for this quote)
Doesn't help failing menz, but might help getting over it - once you realize, noone knows enough about the fumbbl's current RNG-state to make it non-random in any way for him.  |

RNG is better than your average real dice for randomness, the problem is that the spirit world can manipulate the RNG easier than they can with physical dice. |
