    Wil Wheaton is not alone. I have a friend with the same issue. We largely resolved it for her in the following way. We got a nice narrow wooden pencil box with a clear front. We bought a set of dice WHICH SHE NEVER TOUCHED. We put them in the pencil box and permanently sealed it. Now she just shakes the box and reads the appropriate die type without ever touching them.

    @@declancampbell1277 I don't think there ever was an accusation. It's simply a fact that sometimes when people buy dice that the dice are just not balanced properly. There are tests that can showcase that sometimes a consistently low rolling dice weren't being used for cheating but were just made poorly in the mass production of dice. It makes perfect sense to switch dice in the middle of a game where one rolls low. And since Matt traded the dice and took Will's, if balancing was an issue it would actually make the game easier for everyone because now the DM would be rolling low. I've done that as a DM and I've traded dice as well as a player. In the case of Will Wheaton it turned out that it wasn't the dice and that variable was eliminated by Matt trading the d20.

    For him to roll high, he would need a sphere with the number 20 embedded in it a deep bowl such that the sphere doesn’t roll out, and the sphere and bowl don’t crack. The same applies with low rolls but the sphere has an embedded 1. Then you would need 98 more spheres to cover 1-100. Finally, Chuggaaconroy needs to hold the bag contains said accurate spheres so it does not get lost, but also never interact with ProtonJon before he hands the bag to Wil Wheaton at the house where they are playing the game, and have another lucky person take back the 100 spheres without coming into contact with an unlucky person when the game ends, but not before they test the table, the bowl, the couches, the house, the community, and the weather where the game with Wil Wheaton is taking place. The bag also has to be rated high because 100 spheres could rip the bag. Then Wil Wheaton will be able to roll more predictably.

    My dad and I play a bunch of table top games, particularly Warhammer 40k and DnD, and we have both agreed, he is the person that Will is talking about. He cannot roll bellow 17 for D20s or 5 for D6s for some unexplainable reason. He is the Ying to Will's Yang. The Anti-Wheaton. Whenever my mates and I even dare try and face him in 40k, our armies are disintegrated and our souls reduced to blasted wastelands. Thank you Will, for brining balance to the force, your sacrifices will not be forgotten.

    It is more impressive that the curse can transfer a little. If I remember the fight correctly, he had an ability to command others to attack during his turn. Probably an attempt to get around the dice curse. He ordered Keyleth to attack and then she rolled low on every attack he ordered her to do. I don't think she landed a single attack that was ordered by Thorbir.

If they roll two 1s then for the next 24 hours they are in the presence of Wheaton and the DM chooses 3 rolls to auto fail. Rarely used in combat.

    Will Wheaton is awesome, the pure joy when he rolls that 20 is just so infectious.

    What’s scary is also the fact that he throws a dice away from the table, it’s a 3 and then what he rolls on the table is also a 3. It’s crazy.

    Except that the average value a commoner rolls is 10.5. He's literally getting beaten by COMMONERS.

    Can I just say I admire the level of this curse's vindictiveness? I mean, when the roles were reversed and Wil was playing a game where rolling LOWER was actually BETTER then the dice curse literally said, "welp, guess WHAT? NOW YOU ROLL HIGH!" That's spiteful. I can at least respect that.

    Back in 1982 or 1983, a friend who was running a D&D campaign showed me the latest issue of Dragon magazine which had an article about creating and playing a barbarian. I was so on board! While rolling his stats, I rolled 18/00 for his strength (how appropriate). But in the course of playing the game, this guy couldn't hit the broadside of an orc! Every time I rolled, I missed. Until, the character only had 5 or less hit points left; then suddenly I was rolling hits and often criticals. With his strength, he became a lawn mower to the monsters. Myself and the other players were discussing this odd behaviour of the dice and it got to the point where the archer in our party would shoot my character in the back just to knock his hit points down so he would "go berserk". I literally had no control over this, it was just how the dice worked for that character. He was truly a berserker barbarian would defeat death at the last moment.
