If anyone thought I was sane, here's a fun fact for you.
I track every dice roll for the DnD campaign I play in. For every player. Every. Single. One.
Before you say "oh that sounds like it would annoy your fellow party members," my group loves this so much they will happily tell me every roll that transpired while I was in the bathroom/downstairs or just not paying attention.
I have data on hundreds of rolls. I have a detailed google sheet document with the breakdown of Nat 1 and Nat 20 percentages. I have charts that show how often each player rolls a number. I have one player who cannot roll a 17. It's been 12 sessions of tracking they still haven't rolled a 17.
I post updates on everyone's stats in our discord and it's usually met with horror and elation. One player has a 9.7% chance of rolling Nat 1s. Absolutely insane.
It's the weirdest and most nerdy thing I've ever done. I started doing it because we rolled FIVE Nat 1s back to back in session 3 and nearly killed our entire party before we even started the adventure. I made a blood pact with our DM to save our lives. I had to know if our adventuring party was just particularly unlucky.
Anyway, I wouldn't suggest most groups do this. And if you do, congrats you're insane.
