Our most recurring random event is one of our players keeps having the worst luck at the table, drawing the hit when it affects a random player, suffering really bad hits and making terrible rolls at crucial moments. It seems to happen no matter what game we’re playing. Some people’s luck just turns that way.
As I’ll explain in tomorrow’s post, my own luck turned that way at one point in time. But, you’ll have to tune in tomorrow to hear that story.
