*rolls dice once*

"Yeap. That looks fair to me. "

[Johnyknowhow]

> Hammering a nail in a board
"rolling 120 for success in hitting the nail"
> Rolls 1
"rolling 120 for crit"
> Rolls 1
"You attempt to hit the nail on the head but utilizing your otherworldly clumsiness, you critically fail and manage to let the grip of the hammer slip from your hand, at which point it just so happens to be traveling fast enough to smash open a notorious dictator's window and land on his missile launch button. You end up killing off an entire country, the death count totaling to 300 million."

[WhiteRAZOR]

Presents this to the Sharks as a new invention; a "New Fair Dice".

Keeps rolling 1's in front of the investors.

[iluvatar]

Rolls a D120 twice and gets a 1 both times. Lmao... he's getting killed...

[Nukestarmaster]

I'm pretty sure your player character has been eaten by a Dragon by now.

[otakuribo]

Rolls 1 on d60.
Rolls 1 on d120.
ROLLS 1 AGAIN ON d120.
The critical fail is so intense, it wraps around the entire multiverse and becomes an epic legendary win. You become an immortal agent of entropy and order; the world is your biscuit.

[imveryangryitsnotbutter]

Rolling a 2 or 3 on a D60 is a critical fail.
Rolling a 1 is an epic fail.

[CristiNeagu]

Well... if you have a die that always comes up as 1... i guess it's fair. If everyone gets 1 all the time, it has to be fair.

[EugeneKhutoryansky]

The dice may be fair, but life unfortunately is not.

[SamSpain]

A crit fail on a d60 is a curse for life on all future D&D characters

[lampsonwheelstr]

Trys to explain why these are fair, only shows footage of them rolling 1's.
good job.

[mazingdaddid]

"Is there a bigger a bigger die?"
"yes! a D120."
*gets biggest die around. rolls fail twice*
"oh....

[MindYourDecisions]

I would love to see these interesting dice used more in math classrooms, would make for some fun experiments.

[TheDrexxus]

Fun Fact: He became a numberphile after he determined that his very short lived D&D career wasn't going to pan out.

[cocoxcocoa]

This guy must have the worst luck in D&D

[enhydralutra]

This guy needs to put some skill points into luck, immediately.

[horrido]

These dice are designed to cause arguments. Used exclusively if your opponent is better at the game than you.

[MrVeps]

"I want to cast a spell!"
"Which spell... Oh! It's you... never mind then, your character catches fire!"

[InsaneWisePeoples]

natural 1s on a d20 is a fail, d60 critical fail, d120 everyone in your party dies in a fiery explosion.

[MrAzkhare]
