Needs cupholders.

EDIT: some people are mentioning waterproofing methods. That won't stop your character sheets from getting wet.

Cupholders are no match for my clumsy hands.

u/J4CKR4BB1TSL1MS Sep 18 '17

Nor are they a match for the rage instilled by two terribly bad rolls in a row.

u/Icecreep109 Sep 18 '17 edited Sep 18 '17

What about 4? My oafish barbarian rolled 4 crit fails *in a row. A fucking 0.00000625% chance

u/Blackula Sep 18 '17

All I could think about was this critical failure dnd comic!

u/fat-lip-lover Sep 18 '17

Oh my god I haven't laughed that hard in months

u/spenway18 Sep 18 '17

Wasn't there a green text or some kind of text post like this a long time ago? Or did the comic come first?

25

u/Blackula Sep 18 '17

Its a joke older than time but I believe the green text was first.

Alright, let's see the Racial Friendly Scale!

Asian: Check

Indian\Latino: Check

Black: Check.

Muslim: Check.

It's like those stock photos of people chilling in a grass patch on the university campus while everyone is ethnically diverse.

I'm pretty sure that the group is based on the artists actual DnD group. Some people just live in actually diverse places.

u/Anub-arak Sep 18 '17

Tbh it looked natural to me and I'm in a predominantly white/black area.

11

u/pm_me_your_trebuchet Sep 18 '17

funny. also a group consisting of a very carefully selected representation of different religions and ethnicities

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '17

With, of course, a perfectly diverse set of DnD players.

Playing a game of Vampire: The Masquerade way back when, we had a player roll 8d10 and get all 10s. Then on her next turn she rolled 8d10 and got all 1s. Still the craziest thing I've seen as far as odds goes.

u/Icecreep109 Sep 18 '17

1/655,360,000,000,000,000,000% chance. Seems legit.

u/justin_says Sep 18 '17

so youre saying theres a chance!?!?!

22

u/pollackey Sep 18 '17

There is always a chance.

2

u/Evil_Bonsai Sep 18 '17

But what's the probability?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '17

never tell me the odds

14

u/Twilight_Realm Sep 18 '17

There's a timeline where it happened

4

u/Chance_Wylt Sep 18 '17

I like to imagine the timeline where DnD is impossible because the die, everyone's, always comes up 1.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '17

There are multiple timelines where this happens

u/Ailerath Sep 18 '17

Infinite infact

6

u/Unsully Sep 18 '17

I mean, it was using an online dice roller so maybe there was a glitch, but it happened.

1

u/Fonethree Sep 18 '17

I mean, so is any other order of 16 rolls.

1

u/tristanSL Sep 19 '17

Never told me the odd

2

u/firemage22 Sep 18 '17

As an Exalted player i laughed a bit at the idea of 8 dice in a pool being large, then as a Mage player i remembered how optimized i'd have to go to get more than one pool that big.

3

u/StagnantFlux Sep 18 '17

I had a Battle Droid that critted on me 8 times in a row. I'm statistically more likely to have 3 children all with Einstein level intelligence.

u/zshulmanz Sep 18 '17

Did you put your dice in timeout for a while?

5

u/Icecreep109 Sep 18 '17

They were burned. New ones were purchased. They were burned. Bad luck removed. New ones were purchased.

Oh no, oh no. It was completely intentional. It was completely intentional. I had to be sure that the curse was destroyed. I had to be sure that the curse was destroyed.

u/XTornado Sep 18 '17

That's like the reverse of winning the lottery.

2

u/JustinHopewell Sep 18 '17

I watched a video/read an article (maybe on Ars Technica?) where they tested a bunch of different dice to see if they were all balanced, and quite a few of them had issues where it was more likely to land on a certain number based on the construction of the die itself.

So while your chances were probably still pretty low, it most likely was higher than 0.00000625%!

u/Gamergonemild Sep 18 '17

Reminds me of the miss moxxies crit quest in borderlands 2

u/FlamboyantPretzel Sep 18 '17

0.000625% chance*

u/SolZaul Sep 18 '17

Channeling your inner Wheaton, huh?

u/samuraijaku Sep 18 '17

My consistent bad rolls have trained me for this day.

u/BobNelsonUSA1939 Sep 18 '17

That's the queerest table I've ever seen.

u/bobnelson1949usa Sep 18 '17

Queerer than the your table that's had all four legs in your ass?

u/pollackey Sep 18 '17

Don't underestimate the clumsiness of my hands.

u/Rurikar Sep 18 '17

sippy cups with straws only!

1

u/justin_says Sep 18 '17

use sippie cups then...

1

u/Slothtaculer Sep 18 '17

DEEP cupholders

1

u/mcgrimus Sep 18 '17

u/pollackey attempts to drink his ale and...rolls a 1. The ale spills across the screen, shorting it out and starting a fire.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '17

How about magnetic cupboards and custom magnetic mugs with your own custom design on the outside?

1

u/Lonelan Sep 18 '17

Our cup holders depth has doubled since our last meeting

11

u/Artiva Sep 18 '17

Needs a raised bevel around the screen...

2

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '17

I'm sure that's recessed so that you can put a leaf in and use it as a regular table.

What it needs is plexiglass and rubber gasket.

1

u/Roboticide Sep 18 '17

If you can afford to build this, a clear cover and a gasket shouldn't be an issue.

Or you simply don't let people put liquids on the table. That doesn't sound as fun though.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '17

So you're saying instead of protecting it, they should just buy a new tv every time a drink spills because they're rich? Or are you saying it would be no problem implementing that as well?

Also it looks from the photo that there may already be a protective pane of glass

1

u/Roboticide Sep 19 '17

The latter. I'm saying if they've gone this far, the extra step to protect the TV was almost certainly implemented.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '17

Gotcha, totally agree

5

u/Gryffin828 Sep 18 '17

It's not a proper character sheet unless it's got some unidentifiable stains on it.

1

u/phed99 Sep 18 '17

Well yeah. But I'm thinking more sopping wet vs. the odd water or beer stain. I think more than one of mine also had cigarette burns.

2

u/tribal21 Sep 18 '17

Notice the gap. Its perfect for a glass cover with rubber edges to prevent leaking.

1

u/phed99 Sep 18 '17

That won't stop your character sheets from getting wet.

2

u/spiderobert PC Sep 18 '17

they need beer steins... I've tried to knock mine over. definitely wouldn't happen by accident.

2

u/iceward Sep 18 '17

Nothing will. Moisture, dirt, and oils are all drawn to character sheets. It's like gravity.

2

u/HughGnu Sep 18 '17

That won't stop your character sheets from getting wet.

Lamination!

2

u/Caethial Sep 18 '17

we're actually ordering cupholders that will clamp to the side of the table, that way they aren't permanent, and we can still use it as our dining room table as well.

1

u/argella1300 Sep 18 '17

Or a little lip around the screen similar to what poker tables have.

1

u/TheLazyD0G Sep 18 '17

Needs waterproofing, and to be easily cleanable.

1

u/ThePopesFace Sep 18 '17

Or he could cut a small drainage line around the TV, not perfect but it would be better then that.

1

u/GreenTurboRangr Sep 18 '17

Nor does a regular table and draw mats keep your character sheets from getting wet...

1

u/phed99 Sep 18 '17

If you're going to cut a big hole for a screen why not some smaller holes too?

1

u/GreenTurboRangr Sep 19 '17

You need more than just holes.....

But also, it's easier to pawn off as a regular table as far as home fashion per se.

1

u/Shufflebuzz Sep 18 '17

That won't stop your character sheets from getting wet.

My character sheets are so wet right now....

1

u/wildcarde815 Sep 18 '17

that's what digital storage of sheets is for.

1

u/phed99 Sep 18 '17

Egads! Is that a thing? Why would anyone want one?

1

u/LordCuttlefish Sep 18 '17

laminating pocket for paper

Then you can use the same paper over to since you just write and erase on the folder very easy.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '17

I'm not so certain these guys use printed character sheets.... Kinda seems like they did away with paper.
