  • Dice. Why do I have such bad dice rolls?

    Dice are random. That means they are impredictable and all sorts of outcomes are possible. Given enough games and dice rolls, everything that can happen, will happen. Eventually. To someone. Frustrating dice are part of this game, and it's a part of the strategy to deal with bad dice. If you like the dice to be more predictable, use the Balanced dice option (find out more).
