I've had someone accuse me of using a loaded die because I rolled two 20's in a row. To which I replied "You mean this die that just rolled three 1's?" Sometimes those 1's can get rolled out of the way.

Have both. The Light up D20 really made dm angry at a Star Wars Rpg. I was rolling hot. He rolled it 10 times, saw it was random, and handed it back. Another 20.

In SWM? Never happened.

After rollin 3 ones in a row, and playing this dude I absolutely hate losing to because he rubs it in your face, I took the d20 and threw it out my back door. Well..... 3 months later I was washing the car and I found it balanced precariously on the underside of the wheelwell, of course its was balanced on a 20.... Nedless to say it's now my lucky dice!

Classic qvos, absolutely classic!

I've had a few dice throws over the years.

I've personally thrown them when; people have made illegal moves (whilst the game has been 'paused'), people have thrown them at me, or when an opponent hasn't actually rolled a die (but dropped it, in the hopes of getting a print value they need for a bulshavik shot with a battle droid).

In recent times, defective dice (usually those that lose me games, cause me pain etc) are simply destroyed - by dremmel, by hacksaw, by blowtorch, by car. It's quite a cathartic experience, if done safely.

Generally though, I think assault (which dice throwing is an instance of) is never justified. Imagine the laughs you'd get for going to jail/corrections for "Assault with a dice"... That said, if an opponent is particularly un-sportsperson-ly, to the point of jibes, goading, or other similarly childish behavior... retributive dice may fly. In my experience, arbiters (such as judges or GMs/store owners) have been those most ready to toss the dice at unruly players. Metal ones hurt the noggin

Good news: This thread has caused DarphNader to rethink his throwing antics. Today he rolled 4 or 5 ones, two 6's, a couple 10s and one 20 for initiative. Of course, my MTB took care of that one. He used a clear purple die today. Don't think he has a name for that one, but we'll call it the "Purple People Eater."

P.S. Gha rolled a 20 to hit Warmaster Tsavong Lah in the same game.

LOL... Well said.

Having had people like this in my gaming group (not for SWM but for other games) all I can say is that I think such immature behavior really can ruin the spirit of a gaming community. Nothing makes a game less fun than a short-tempered sore loser.


I still remember the time some guy posted on here right after IE came out saying how he was opening his case with his young son and when he saw C3PO, Ewok Diety as one of his VRs he hucked it across the room out of anger and it broke apart against the wall much to his son's amusement. All I could think was "Great, another future gamer being created who will be unable to handle the slightest bit of frustration with maturity and will ruin gaming experiences for others."

Both me and my brother are guilty of this, him more than me. Of cores its usually in the first 20 minutes of the game where its 100% certain he will loose, then winds up winning more times than not. Also not on the topic of throwing but it seems no game of SWM or D&D RPG is complete with out dice falling on the floor and people scrableing to find them!

Now there is an idea! Between my 20+ dice (I used to buy them every time I went out to game) there's a definite 2 or 3 dice I have that are on my 'Never use List' for the sole reason that they suck.

No. Nor has any of my group. I do understand though why some do, our group tends to have all good luck one night as all bad the next. I remember one game were one player did not throw above a 5 all night. Same player a week later did not throw below 17 all night.
