That's the only real horror I've seen. But boy do I see it often.

this is tragically very common

I've never had worse than a flake off of roll20 randoms, but I never accept more than one random at a time.

Man I HATE RANDOMS!! Worse than normies

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

but then I don't have any friends so I always end up playing rpg solo :-(

This is less about the community there and more of my problem with the technical side of the site. A bunch of my friends and I all live far apart now but we still try to play some RPGs online and Roll20 is the best tool we know of so I've got to keep using it.

Anyway I'm pretty sure the site has a vendetta against me because all of my friends will testify that the RNG on that site has fucked me up the ass with a ten foot pull covered in razor wire.

In Dark Heresy I had my gun jam three times in a row, and missed every shot I fired that day. Hell just a couple days ago we started a new D&D game and I roll a 1 for how much HP I have. I thought "okay next level this has to even out" and I get another 1. when we get to level 3 it's a 1 yet again. In the first session with that character I had 2 miscasts, and because I had one HP both times I was knocked out before I even participated in the fight.

FUCK THAT SITES RNG.

Truly horrifying.

>At this point i couldn't take anymore and just decided to quietly leave the group. All in all, i was expecting to have fun and instead felt alienated
This is the problem with online gaming in general.
