Re: Amazing dice rolls

I rarely have good dice rolls. OTOH I have had some
amazing streaks of bad dice rolls. Playing Traveller,
I was playing a Vargr Corsair (Vargr are a canine race
in traveller). I had to just NOT roll a critical
failure to land the ship. Guess what? Critical
failure! And the same for each and every recovery roll
to try to come out of the crash dive. Fortunately the
GM allowed me to get off the ship without making a
roll, otherwise I probably would have botched that one
too. 
Another time I was playing Risk with a coworker,
during downtime at work. I lost EVERY SINGLE combat,
no wins, no ties. Every one. Statistically that is as
close to impossible as can be measured.
