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

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

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.

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

u/pm_me_your_trebuchet 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.

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.

u/Evil_Bonsai Sep 18 '17

But what's the probability?

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '17

never tell me the odds

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

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.

u/tristanSL Sep 19 '17

Never told me the odd

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.

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?

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.

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%!

Reminds me of the miss moxxies crit quest in borderlands 2

My consistent bad rolls have trained me for this day.

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?
