So, yeah, this seems to keep coming up in my gaming endevours. Seeing as everyone here is likely quite familiar with die casts, perhaps I can get some interesting opinions here.
I have horrible luck in gaming. Be it from card draws or die casts, if there's a way fortune can leave me screwed, it will. Once upon a time was a regular player of Magic: the Gathering. I wasn't bad, though I wasn't ready to enter any major tournaments by any measure. I'd like to think that the decks I built worked rather well most of the time.
At least, when other people played them. I could play the game for hours on end, and a good 80% of the time, I would end up with hands that simply weren't playable. I could pass my deck to someone else and have them play, and it would come around beautifully and consistantly, but in my hands, I could spend a good ten turns with only the lands I draw in my initial hand to work with.
Die casts often turn against me as well. One particular event I remember is a DnD session that lasted the better part of two hours. In that time, I never could roll above a five on a d20, and I used several difference dice. The guy next to me, however, rolled a 20, then another 20, then 19, getting an instant kill on a high-level werewolf that was supposed to be the "epic finale" of our adventure. Our unusual kind DM declared that a headshot, instantly killing our opponent. Earlier that day I had made a critical fumble on a will save that, had I rolled anything but that, I was guaranteed to make the save. It wasn't the first such failure.
GETTING TO THE POINT, do you guys believe in good/bad luck at all? <p>
