Another Table Top dice story
You often hear it said that dice in table top games are never as extreme as they are in online games.
I played a game today where I rolled double six in four consecutive rolls. This was not Blood Bowl as it happens but another war game that rolls dice in a similar volume.
I have never done this before in Blood Bowl or any other war game and I have been playing organised war games since 1976. Indeed I am sure I once saw a competition to win a car that required you to only roll seven six’s in a row!

I had my lovely Ghazkul Mag Uruk Thraka with his 2+ AV save be injured 6 times, followed by me picking up 6 dice and promptly producing 6 1s. The Prophet of the Waaaagh indeed.

I once rolled 8 1s and skulls in a row in a game of Blood Bowl on the board game. I lost that game.

All your RNGs are broken and you suffer from severe conspirocy.

I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that the spelling was intentional f_alk. Remember folks, you can't spell "conspirocy" without the "spiro."

The Universe's RNG is obviously broken and infected.

RIMMER: So there we were at 2:30 in the morning; I was beginning to wish
I had never come to cadet training school. To the south lay water --
there was no way we could cross that. To the east and west two armies
squeezed us in a pincer. The only way was north; I had to go for it
and pray the Gods were smiling on me. I picked up the dice and threw
two sixes. Caldecott couldn't believe it. My go again; another two
sixes!
LISTER: Rimmer, what's wrong with you? Don't you realize that no one is
even slightly interested in anything you're saying? You've got this
major psychological defect which blinds you to the fact that you're
boring people to death! How come you can't sense that?
RIMMER: Anyway I picked up the dice again... Unbelievable! Another two
sixes!
LISTER: Rimmer!
RIMMER: What?
LISTER: No one wants to know some stupid story about how you beat your
Cadet School Training Officer at Risk.
RIMMER: Then -- disaster! I threw a two and a three; Caldecott picked up
the dice and threw snake eyes -- I was still in it.
LISTER: Cat, can you talk to him?.

Rated 6 by the Way :-D
I do actually quite enjoy reading about unusual events like this, but I couldn't help posting the Red Dwarf scene :-P

We had some Vipers shoot down a huge X-ship (whatever they are called) in Battlestar Galactica today. It required three 8:s (on D8-dice) on four dice. He rolled 8, 8, 8, 7.
I called "Conspirocy" first, but the ship was still shot down.

I once had a brand new gutter runner who failed a doge past a dwarf, then promptly ened up in the RIP box, luckily my apothicary was on the ball as useual and saved him.

RNG: nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine.... -Are you sure that's random? -That's the problems with random, you can never be sure.

From the average rating, there have been too many sixes here as well.
