Do you have a rough time of it when the dice gods mock
you?

That's the face the OTHERS make when I misbehave!

Since when have you EVER behaved? Said as a proud member of the permanently misbehaved club. Remember you can misbehave all you want as long as you are not bad, takes some skill but is doable.

It's not my face so much as to what I say … Would make a demon blush ! evil grin

If I distorted my face at every poor die roll I'd be permanently twisted in the face.

Nah. It is only a game.

Faces, bad language, on one occasion a fist slammed on the table top. I was a bad boy but they cut me some slack as my bad dice luck is renowned.

Yes, as in the continuous 1's I rolled last night on a 10 sided die!

I just roll my eyes and die a little inside.

I may purse my lips at a bad roll at the craps table, but that's rather a long game, like the stock market, and I'm looking at results over time rather than individual events.

At the wargame table, I just laugh.

At a game I was running a few years ago, one of the players had a really bad dice streak that compounded a tactical error he had made. He was laughing so hard that he was almost crying as he kept on rolling numbers that made his unit's, and ultimately his whole side's, situation worse and worse.

I appreciated his spirit.

Oh how I would love to know what caused that cat to make that face. But it is pretty close if I have had a 5 or more string of bad die rolls.

But I too laugh and take it in stride.

My dice used to go flying across the hall, under the tables mostly, until I got told off by the club President. I was a bit younger then, now I accept that I have crap dice and revel in the fact that playing Axis and Allies boardgames I am invincible because 1s are good.

I agree with ZULUPAUL

One time we were playing a wwii game and my dice rolling was bad as always. My friends were loving the fact that I was muttering and making the usual faces. I had finally had enough, smiled sweetly and asked them to open the door. When it was opened, I threw the dice out the door after which we had a good laugh.
