This one time, I rolled high.
But another time I rolled low.

true that. pity that those threads immediately turn into "wouldn't it be funny it that'd happen?" threads. Mainly because ppl tend to colorize the fuck out of their stories.

A friend of mine once rolled eight 1's while rolling twelve dice. Sounds good and was kinda funny given the situation and units involved, but every time he tells it the number of dice and 1's gets higher, even heard him claiming to roll 15 1's with 16 dice...

Or even just plain making-up stories.

If you think these things could never have happened, then your games must be downright boring.
