D&D: Bad Dice
A giant yawning chasm splits the landscape before you and the goblin you’ve been chasing scrambles to the end of a dead tree branch that hangs out over the edge of a ravine. I swing at the Goblin with my sword. Roll for attack. (dice rolling sounds) It’s a one. You swing the sword perfectly into the goblin’s empty sheath and the sword is now his. Oh…well, I want it back. Roll to grab it It’s… another one. As you maneuver to reclaim your rightful property, you manage to step on the tree branch in just such a way that it launches the goblins sky-high and your sword goes with him. Really, that can happen? Blame the dice. And roll dexterity to see if you fall in the ravine. Hm, you do. You fall in it real hard. Ok no, this is impossible. It’s improbable. Its impenetrable. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to get inside it? (dice breaking sounds) No, weights, (-that was my- ) it must be cursed. (-That was my die-) It deserved to die. It was a traitor to it’s people. If it can’t get the job done, another one will. Ian: When I said “blame the dice,” I did not literally mean to ascribe agency to the polyhedron. This is gonna be a thing. It does not have to be a thing. It’s only a thing if you make it a thing. You planned for this? I came prepared. You try to break your fall but instead you break both arms. You somehow kick sand into your own face. The Goblin is back. He falls out of the sky, does not break both arms, and stabs you with your own sword. Your grasp of goblin-ese is so pitiful that your pleas for mercy are taken as threats against his children. Prepare to roll death saves. You’re my only hope, Tiger eye. Why would this one be any different? Cause I paid like $50 for it; it better work. Ian: You’re really not grasping this whole probability thing, are you? This goes far beyond math. There are cosmic forces at work here. Each die has an inherent level of reliability based on its past performance. Bad dice can ruin an entire collection just by proximity, so they must be cleansed; it is the way. Yeah, none of that is true. It’s all superstition and kind of a weird one, in fact. You have an equal chance to roll any number on the die and an equal chance to roll any two numbers in sequence whether that’s- (many dice rolling sounds) They’re bad dice, Ian. Yeah. No, I got it. I got my limits and these have to go. *Bad Dice Destruction Montage Music* *Hopeful Science Dice Music* (victoriously) Huh-ha. Whew. You die. Ta-da! *Living Forever by J.P. De Ovando* Thanks for watching! -R

Those "bad dice" you speak of should be gifted to the dm
So literally my entire D&D career, I've always had below average rolls, but it's been getting REALLY bad the past year. I kid you not last session I rolled 3 natural 1's in the session when I made only about 5ish rolls that entire session because we weren't doing any combat that session and it was mostly talking. (Oh and btw, the natural ones were all on different dice.). So the party has made up a "curse" that my D20 rolls will forever be crap.
That's a lot of… not D20s in that box of D20s.
At least that guy accepted after a while, unlike certain characters.
Personally, I’d be pretty weirded out after just a couple sequential 1-rolls.
Once I rolled a 1 on persuasion while trying to bargain with a shopkeeper. I panicked and rolled again for charisma in order to try to play off my horrific mistake. It was another 1. The shopkeeper started laughing, and he laughed so hard he got a heart attack and died. We legally owned all the stuff in his shop.

I saw the thumbnail and said, “Bad dice? Yes, burn them.” 😈
This is one of my favorites. It's a mistake so easy to make, somehow, easy; as if dice have memory. 👩🦰
Lol I freaking love this
You could just put them in time out…
We play using Fantasy Grounds, and whenever we have a bad streak of rolls, we change the color of the dice.
I don’t play D&D, but I laughed so hard at this. When he rolled all the dice at one time I had to pause the video.
how many dice rolls for this video is the question
First – this is HILARIOUS! LMAO! Wow.
I don't think I've run into a bad series like this…but I did encounter a nearly opposite run. [Okay, not d20s but d100.]
While running in a [redacted system] scenario, where percentile dice were used and it was based on open-ended rolls, with 1's and 100's going to extremes – I rolled two results of 100% followed by an 86%. The odds of doing this were 1/100 * 1/100 * 1/7 or roughly 1 in 70,000. Just yikes.
My reaction at the time was "[blink] [blink] WTF just happened?!?" This had been an attack roll.
>> Expected result: One hell of a hit against this [okay, I'll actually tell you what this was] Dragon. Oh, and it was an invisible dragon at that. He would next turn around and clean the clock of this low-level character or just leave and kill me another day. But it gets better…or worse, depending on whose perspective you are using.
This system has defense rolls followed by 'armor' rolls. My [huge] opponent had no way of seeing the approach of my attack, so no defense roll. His armor roll 'fumbled'. I think the actual roll was 04%. Just ow. [& wow].
>> Actual result: One arrow kill of a dragon with otherwise full hit points. Right through a gap in his scales and right through his heart. Just >twang< >thunk< >dead<.
In twenty years of gaming, this is the only time that I one-shot killed a major opponent. It didn't happen before and has never happened since.
The odds of this series of rolls is 1 in 1,750,000. Almost lottery winning odds.
The character was nicknamed "Lurch" due to his height. After a couple of weeks of playing, he gained another nickname. He was known as "Lurch the Limb Lopper" for the uncanny happenstance of getting at least one crit during any serious fight – which ended up removing the arm or leg of one of his opponents. And this was with ordinary, non-magical blades. It didn't matter whose dice were being used.

You fall in the ravine and you fall in it real hard.
You try to break your fall but instead you break both arms.

The goblin is back. He falls out of the sky, does not break both arms, and stabs you with your own sword.
Your grasp of goblinese is so pitiful that your pleas for mercy are taken as threats against his children.
You die.
This hurts to watch
Guy in video:that is the way
Me after watching the mandalorian
Me: this is the way
I have a friend I play dnd with who this video fits perfectly for Even when he rolesmy dice which usually score on the higher the higher ends of the spectrum, he still gets low scores 😂
The trick is to not roll the dice too much beforehand, theyll get tired and only romm low. Easy as that
No dice were harmed during the filming of this video
And from then on, he only rolled 2s.
Have you tried rolling like mat lock
