The other day on Random.org I rolled 1 to 6 range six times in a row with all 6s. I had to keep rolling frivolously just to make sure it wasn't broken! 1 in 46,656 chance.

EDIT: Also, two times EVER in D&D we had someone roll three 1s in a row on d20. The deal was, you roll to hit, and if you roll 1 you fumble, which is an auto-miss and prevents all your subsequent attacks that round. Then you roll again to see if you dropped your weapon (or slip and fall if you're unarmed) but it only happens on a 1.

The DM has you roll an item saving throw if one of your items gets hit by something, such as when you roll 1 on a save vs. fireball or if you fall into a pit trap you might break stuff like your lantern or whatever. Everything rolls a save, and the saves are sometimes easy and sometimes hard. Only if the item is magical and also struck by something it's strong against - such as ceramic struck by acid - will its save be anything like 1.

Anyway, the DM had him roll on the "Fall" category, which was a drop of about 5', which seemed appropriate since he was swinging the sword around. So the DM said, ok, just don't roll another 1.

Of course a 1 comes up and his magic sword shatters.

1 in 8000 chance.

The second time it happened I think it was a low level party and the character broke his non-magical bow or something. It wasn't important.

More concrete numbers, please.  That number is relative to what the goal of the people is.

Ye have annoyed the Derail Master, and he has smitten thee! Instead of a Generic Large Number of population, they shall be calculated by 3d20 - 2 per boatload.
There are: [10+17+12+18+9+10+5+16+3+6+8+5+16+11+3 (149)]-10 = 139 goblins.
There are: [20+20+9+1+17+15 (82)]-4  = 78 settlers in Midgard

3d20?  Then how did I get two threes in there?  Odds of it happening twice are: 1 in 6400000.  Which site did you use?)

I rolled a d20 15 times and you're complaining that a "3" came up twice? Where are you pulling these statistics from?

And I use actual D20s when I roll.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Clearly your d20s are busted.

[Xantalos]

In an RTD I'm in I apparently rolled at least 10 1s in a row.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

And you're still alive?!

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

I rolled a d20 15 times...

Oh, based upon what you were saying, I was under the impression that each of those rolls was a total of 3 d20's.  My mistake.

And you're still alive?!

There are people who are rolling in between his turns, but still, that's some pretty bad luck.

[poketwo]

so, when are we going to get that update on that recent derail game?

Apparently so... Sorry about feeding the spam thread thing. Is his game though, sort of what to expect when the hex map ends?

Yup.
