the amount of dice myths that are linked with wargaming and roleplaying are staggering. and the strange thing is that even people who dont believe in such things can be seen doing them, sometimes without them even realising!

classics include:
  • charging dice: leaving all your unused dice '6-up' so that they get used to resting that way, so that when you roll them they land 6-up!
  • using different coloured dice for different things
  • changing dice whenever one comes up a six
  • rituals of invocation: either a little dance or prayer to the dice god, hoping the result you want comes up
  • flick of the wrist: not as common as the others, though i know this one guy who obsesses with flicking his wrist just so whenever he rolls a dice. and the sad thing is... it usually works. He is well known for his good luck

funny what well do to overcome old murphys law
