lol   I'm going to refrain from getting me one of those (the price makes that a very easy proposition btw ::) ), considering the amount of effed up rolls I already manage to make each and every sitting... ;D

Lol!   

But, if you play TSATF with the original rules (firing: 1 to something is a hit)  it wouldn't apply. >:D

True, but I've already long suspected that it's not as much the 1, as more the roll being the exact opposite to the required result.

So when playing TSATF (whichever game that is :D ), I'd probably be rolling natural twenties by the dozen... lol

The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.

I'm perfectly capable of producing my own profanities whenever I roll poorly, I feel like paying 75 dollars for the dice to do it for me
(and not very creatively at that) would be a slight misallocation of resources.  lol


die

I also feel like this message is missing a relevant bit that leaves it sounding somewhat ominous.  :o

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

die

Oxford English dictionary uses the term die and dice interchangeably, though this is more of a British thing than American thing.  They're both correct.  Many UK based rulebooks use "dice" in the singular.  Let's not go down that rabbit hole :D

I like it!

Not $75 like, but I get the designer's intention.

Classic!

Thanks for trying to make our grammer gooder.

I was going to just post "Can't we use either?", but then I realised I'd be ending a sentence with a preposition.

$75 just to curse in a bad roll?

Well, shit I'll do that for free!
