Lady Luck is a... Bud?

Maybe I am just lucky?

The Number of the Brent

A 4 and four 6's...

These are two pics taken from yesterday's Team Tournament at the Comic Asylum in Richardson, Texas.  My partner, Everyone's Brother From Another Mother, Big Whit, doesn't like it when I snap pics of lucky dice rolls - he's worried the luck will run out - but I couldn't resist taking these.

My friends are always on about my luck, which I've quietly laughed off, believing as I do that one makes one's own luck... but what if I'm wrong?

Am I just... lucky?

    It's because you're a hero worthy of pulp, and pulp heroes are indomitable, give or take. Just don't let the ratings drop!

    be careful, and don't let anyone give you teh dice herpes.

    I got it bad for a few months, and my sisters, who normally hit 2/3 of the time with guns, only were averaging 1/3.

    it's bad.

    Brent you are one of the luckiest guys i've ever played. You make that 5+ inv save more often than space marines make their 3+ armor save....and I let you use my box....sigh.

    I wouldn't offend the dice gods Brent... they are very fickle beings.

    That's stupid, luck doesn't affect rolls.

    Everyone knows it's the DICE that are lucky. Clearly yours should be confiscated, melted down, and their luck content should be evenly divided amongst the rest of your dice.

    Yep, you're a jam bandit all right.

    Not that there's any shame in that - I have displayed a supernatural ability to pass 6+ saves on a regular basis and regularly fail whole handfuls of 2+ like there's no tomorrow.

    (And yes, I do know about confirmation bias, gambler's fallacies and all that nonsense; the point is that I have a lot of save-related fuel for those particular follies.)

    Ah, what?! People in the DFW area?
    Why is it that I had no idea when I was there? I'm from Granbury on the other side of Fort Worth.
    I'm in Lubbock now though, a no man's land of broken dreams and chlamydia.

    I'm not far enough west for chlamydia, but I had no idea there were shenanigans going on that close east of me?
