    Default The Planets and Moons Aligned... for Dice?

    So I was playing a pick- up game at the LGS Thursday, minding my own business, rolling dice for my McThralls. But, in the middle of a damage roll, I see something extremely peculiar, it looks to be a cocked dice, so I go to pick it up, but I pause.

    There's something different about it... something off, and I take a closer look, this is what I see:


    It felt so special that I felt the need to take a photo of the moment. Good thing I did, because it fell over seconds later.

    It must've been a sign. The Behemoth poured Bombard shells into Mortenebra's face, and she lived with 3hp, which gave me chance to win the match. Coincidence? Probably, but where's the fun in that?

    I use the same dice and had that happen to me once. It's the NQ dice right? I won that game too if I remember it right.

    I think that counts as a seven

    I had that happen once. I had a pic and everything since we were so surprised. Too bad my phone died and I don't have it anymore.

    That's happened to me twice now, most recently at Lock & Load. I wish I had thought to take a pic.

    That happened to me once too. I think it's the GW grass mats they make and the size of the dice. I still claim to this day that I broke physics with that roll though

    That is so crazy. Our Trollbloods player and I use those same dice, and he had the exact same thing happen to him a few weeks ago. Methinks Chessex uses voodoo in their dice.

    That is an amazing roll. I use the same dice so I hope to see that same roll in my time. And I hope it signals a great victory!

    Nice!

    My best roll was in another game, a White Wolf Roleplaying Game.

    It uses D10's and what happens is that you calculate your total and then minus difficulty of the task, usually ending with around 4-7 dice for stuff which is easy and your good at.

    You roll a D10 and 8-10 is a success. Rolling a 10 means you roll another dice. Dice can continue exploding like that with more 10s.

    So i roll a 7 dice pool. 6 successes, all 10's.

    roll them again, 5 more successes, 3 of them 10s.

    Roll them bones, 2 more successes.

    So on 7 dice i end up with 13 successes. Thing of beauty. Had a pic of it on my old phone too.
    Looking forward to Epic Vlad on his Battle Cattle.

    I have seen a die land on edge before, but have never been the one to roll it. I have also managed to have the dice explode 5 times in a row in a game of Dystopian wars, netting 11 successes on 4 dice. I've also been witness to someone rolling triple ones in 4 out of five rolls in a warmachine game. That was so epic that I couldn't tell if he was unlucky or just lucky in a different way by the end.

    I had that happen then left it like that for the rest of the game. For all the other games played after we played the die as an obstruction and/or control point. When it was the control point you got +1 to your die rolls, lol.

    And yes, for failure, I have had a game where I didn't roll above 7. The entire game, no matter how many dice I rolled, the best roll was seven. Got freaking triple 1's 3 times in a row.....

    Sorry for poor quality, it was a few years ago and I had a crappy phone. It's also chessex dice.

    I feel like this makes Drzombieface and I brothers or something. The dice Gods chose us.

    I haven't pulled anything that awesome off yet. The best roll I have yet had was quad sixes for damage on a Manifest-destined Angelious AP charge attack. That Angelious single-handedly killed Megalith that activation (!).

    Ah, exploding roll mechanics. I play ACTA:Bab5 - beam-type weapons do that; I've cut battlecruisers in half with a single cascading damage roll before.
    My other bond is on a ROVER.

    Never doing that again since I got my DakkaDakka dice. They roll too well no matter what I'm using them for.
