#dice curse

[foldbaron]

Just a truly remarkable series of breathtakingly shitty rolls. I'm speechless. Like, this might be the WORST anyone has ever rolled in the entire history of CR.

I'd say it might be the best Matt's ever rolled, but he's been crushing it this campaign.

Okay. For science purposes

I need Will Wheaton and Alex Ward to play D&D together. If ya know, ya know

So I finally started seriously watching Critical Role from the beginning and jeez watching Wil Wheaton roll so many natural 1s is just nuts, like no one should be that unlucky with dice rolls

I haven’t seen people discuss this much in regards to Wil Wheaton’s dice curse but it isn’t originally his. He took it from someone else. For a few year’s prior to his Critical Roll appearance he was on another dnd podcast/live show called Acquisitions Inc.

In Acq Inc Jerry Hulkens was the one who always rolled low while Wil rolled all over the place, so you know, he rolled like a normal person. In their 2012 live show however things began to switch between them and with Wil leaving the group after that game he seemingly took Jerry’s curse with him.

Jokes about Jerry’s rolls seem to have left Acq Inc seemingly because Jerry lost his curse. And jokes about Wil rolling bad in CR took place years after making it seem to Wil like this has been happening “forever”.

Anyway, this has been my Ted talk on why dice curses are real and no, Critical Roll wasn’t the first dnd live show and definitely not the best one(opinion).

Does Wil Wheatons dice curse affect digital dice? Like because these random number generators were created with the intention of being dice does the curse recognize that? Or is it like a Macbeth thing??? Like he’s living it up on Roll20, or discord generating numbers above 5, because it wasn’t prepared for the digitalization of dnd.

Check out these dice jail samples that just arrived. 

We've partnered with some awesome folks who do beautiful handmade wooden items (mostly from french oak or recycled NZ native timber) to develop time out boxes for misbehaving dice.⠀ ⠀ They come in two sizes (custom options available), with bronze or steel bars, and in the future we'll have custom options for laser engraving designs/words on the top. The latin on on of the samples roughly translates to "we are here until we learn".⠀ ⠀ The question now is what to name them.⠀ ⠀ We have a bunch of ideas, but we want to know your thoughts. Reblog and let us know your favourite names.⠀ ⠀ Ideas:⠀ ⠀ Cellblock D20⠀ Polyhedral Penitentiary⠀ Bad Dice⠀ Time Out⠀ Roll for Incarceration⠀ Dice Brig⠀ Das Brig⠀ Deviant Dice⠀ Outlaw Dice (honestly I'm probably gonna use this for future dice we get made because I love it)⠀ Department of Dice Corrections⠀

I'm re-watching Vox Machina, I'm at Trial of the Take, and my brain starts wondering...

If Wil Wheaton played a spellcaster character and was making the GM do saving throws instead of him making attack rolls to hit, would the dice curse just help the GM succeed on every saving throw?
