yea i’m not a fan of LL. indeed we have a love/hate relationship with dice. as much as i hate them sometimes, i really do enjoy the thrill nonetheless.

@buckman:

that was fast!

I am guessing that you don’t like low luck games, why is that?

I am surprised that more people don’t play low luck games.  When I first read about them, I thought for sure that most people would play low luck given the way people complain about bad dice.

@buckman:

scramble?

no
