He retrieved from his bedroom a metal case, an unplugged electrical cord trailing from it. With a level of drama I can't even begin to describe, he slowly opened the case. I distinct hiss sound could be heard, and after waiting a moment, he began to retrieve THE DICE from what apparently was a vacuum sealed and chilled environment.

They were all larger than regular dice, all varying in color and with edges that were chipped. There were dice I hadn't ever seen before, such as an enormous d30, and a d5 and a d7, and the d8 and d10 seemed a bit long. As we looked at them (no touching, of course), he finally took out the d20.

It was big, and it's edges were chipped far worse than the others. He explained that THIS DIE had been rolled more times than any other, with literally hundreds of thousands of rolls to its name. It was an awesome DIE, one only to be used at the most important moments. Not because of its age or any notion of fragility, but because it destroys the idea of random chance. It WILL roll a 20 when needed. It COULD NOT roll anything else.

We semi-returned to the game, and the DM reminded us what spell had just been cast on the character. We all watched, and he carefully took the dice, and simply stared at it. He waited, letting the tension increase, more and more, and then slowly, ever so slowly, prepared to roll.

"Forgive me, for I shall once again cheat fate" he said, drama dripping from each word, and I watched with a barely contained smile. I looked at everyone else while he still hadn't begun to roll, and saw similar smiles. Turning back to him, he finally seemed ready. With a final flourish and dramatic pause, he rolled THE DIE.

It rolled.

And rolled.

It's chipped corners and considerable density made it roll for far too long, and it neared the very edge of the table. We watched as it stopped a little before the edge, and slowly walked over to see the number on the unpainted face.

Bloody. Fucking.

20.

Dead silence. He's smiling. We're not. Someone says what everyone's thinking.

"It's fucking rigged."

He tells us to be careful, but examine it ourselves. Everyone else starts rolling it, and rolling it, and slowly, slowly, a bit of fear enters our hearts as all sorts of numbers appear. Finally, I get a chance to roll it.

I trembled as I touched it. I wish I could tell you how that DIE felt, but I haven't lived long enough to find a comparison. It wasn't warm, cold, electric, heavy, light or any of those. If I wanted to describe it, it was something.. beyond. Like I was holding something I could see but belonged somewhere else. As I held THE DIE, filled with fear and pain, I turned to the owner. He suddenly looked at me, and his smile literally made my hand shake.

I put it down without rolling. I suddenly realized how much I had been sweating in the few seconds I had held it. Everyone looked at me, started asking me what had happened, and after my breathing had returned to normal, I just told them it wasn't loaded.

Wow, what are the odds of that!

(Hint: 1 in 20.)

>>2315037
D20 bearing the mark of the Changer of Ways. Calling it now.

>>2315033

there's some impossible dies there, considering the sides of dies are normally of the same polygonal shape

Hahaha! This is funny. I love THE DICE.

Tzeentch plays dice. And the dice are loaded.

>>2315068

>>2315091

have you ever seen a die with that shape?

>>2315091

what are you trying to prove?

>>2315102
Were they HANDMADE and made of AWESOME?

Wait...what?

>>2315102
I don't know about him, but I have.

This seems like a scene from some comedy that takes time to show what the minor characters were getting into the night some bigger comedy/drama took place.

>>2315118

i very much doubt it. all dies are regular polyhedrons.

>>2315130

>>2315130
A friend of mine makes retarded things like that in his free time.

>>2315091
Not that poster, but I own one.
It's reasonably random.

>>2315130

Standard dice are regular polyhedra. Every side of a regular polyhedron is the same, so there is an equal probability that the die will land on any given side.

You can find non-standard dice. Because of their shapes, it isn't guaranteed that the die will land on any given side with equal probability as any other. But you can get dice that are close enough to equal probability.

In the story, the guy's dice were custom made anyway, so I don't see what the big deal is.

>>2315141

i got owned.
never played with those kind of die

>>2315141
hahaha, awesome. I want some.

>>2315168
I have the greatest urge to swing a great axe that deals a d15.

>>2315372
That's a d16. It's one better.

>>2315432
Not smart enough to count one more, sadly. Foot was chopped off during practice.

>>2315457
Jiggle flesh sad hound I wish, contribute greatly much anamnesis, wonder else confusion?
