Really, what is it about gaming that brings out the superstition in all of us? Our DM has a set of orange dice that we all *know* is unlucky (the d20 rolls 3's with *far* above average regularity), and yet he continues to use them, claiming it gives the players an advantage. Drop a die on the floor as you're rolling it? "That's bad luck," we all chorus, and usually it is. Zach has a die he says he's "training" to roll high by keeping it on the 20 side whenever he's not using it. Alex has "high" dice and "low" dice. I choose which of my three d20's to use by randomly reaching into my bag, because the one I grab must be "lucky." Hell, we're even deciding things on coin flips these days.

BUT... we are not under the protection and guidance of the Magic 8 Ball. Wish we were. *g*
