A demon offers you a deal

>10k

Is Hell broke? With all the cheap labor you guys should be making a killing. 10k is no money whatsoever for all the free work on endless bridges over lakes of fire, tridents, and pits of torment you would get should I roll ten 1's. Just working at Wal-Mart for a year part-time at $9 an hour would net me more than that. My eternal soul is at least worth $40k.

Deals with the devil are supposed to be tempting not this cheapskate shit.

Give her a break. She's new at this.

Good thing I have some Fudge dice.

The chance of rolling a 1 nine times in a row on a 1d100 is one quintillionth, 1e-18, or 0.000000000000000001%

Do demons have understudies?

>I could pay off the rest of my car loan and actually move to that nicer apartment and finally just drink myself to death and wait for the landlord to find my bloated corpse.

>Or 10 ones in a row and I die immediately.

Win win.

Like i said, it's highly unlikely but still possible.

Why pay your car loan when you're going to drink yourself to death??

Always add a fudge die to every roll, never get ten 1s in a row as every chain is broken by a +, -, or blank.

So it doesn't fall on my family to pay it?

Jeez you idiotic twat. I'm suicidal not an moron.

No, because it sounds like some Death Note shit where I'd be arranged to run over the board game deliveryman faster than I could spend anything. Demon doesn't even stipulate that they'd collect anything, this is just for laughs.

>hurrrrr
Holy shit, you're so smurt ber being able to do 3rd grade maff lol

Yeah but I drive to work on the freeway every day for $50k a year and the chances of a fatal car accident are far greater than one quintillionth

use a die marked 2-7 for the rest of your life. your friends will understand

This. In the long run, you're not getting a lot of money

That's a pretty shitty deal. Not only is 10K honestly not enough to be worth dealing with demon contracts, but when you are talking about a conditional trigger like that which SEEMS to be random chance, you are asking for trouble.

Its a fucking demon. It might have a shitty credit rating or whatever, but I would be shocked if it couldn't use demon magic to rig my dice, essentially giving me 10 die rolls before I die. Which sounds like something you should be able to avoid, but presuming it takes me 2-4 die rolls to realize I am being cheated? Its not that hard to trick someone into 'rolling a die' for the rest.

Like, if I am moving boxes and the demon sneaks a die into the box and it rolls around in there, I am presuming that counts.

Physical dice only, or do virtual dice count?

What's with all the questions
Just roll with it bro, it's free money

Yes, but you're making a deal with a demon, my brainlet friend. And besides, what I said was that it was possible but unlikely, you agree with me, no idea why you had to make a fool of yourself by replying.

Powers aren't third grade math you retard. You have higher odds of the sun exploding while you are consumed by a supernova as you spontaneously burst into flames and an interdimensional hedgehog emerges out of your ass. Essentially he's getting free money due to the sheer stupidity proposition's wording. A person could just as easily never roll another die as long as they lived and still get the cash. There's literally zero reason not to take the money.

If you roll ten or more sphere-shaped objects, do you die from a massive heart attack from having rolled 1 on at least ten d1s?

Sorry, 4th grade math. Stupid faggot, you are so smart for figuring out 4th grade math. You must be an engineer, am I right?

I accept.

Joke's on her, I haven't played D&D since I graduated college, so the odds of me even being in a situation where I'd roll dice are close to zero.

Should make funeral arrangements, too, then.

Mr. Demon I know you're trying, but this is getting pathetic. I'd say it's beneath you, but I'm not entirely sure if its not a compliment.

This is actually very easy: get a custom die with no 1. Whenever you roll a 1, roll your custom die. Voila, you got $10,000 and a quirky habit.

>There's literally zero reason not to take the money.

You are a fucking retard. There is no possible chance it could ever happen because the person in question can remove the possibility.

...

Butt hurt faggot? There's no reason not to take the money.

Id do it for 100.

How do I know that this demon isn't going to manipulate things so that I end up rolling ten 1s in a row? Otherwise it seems like there's almost no way I'd end up losing out, especially since later in life I probably won't be rolling dice anyway.

Come on, there's got to be some sort of catch. Another demon going 'If you roll this dice ten times and at least 9 are ones, I'll give you a billion dollars.' A roulette table with loaded dice. Getting invited to play a boardgame where the only numbers on the dice are one and two.

Ok, brainlet.

>goes into LGS to buy something
>trips and knock over dice shelf
>10 of them are 1's

Easy souls. Hell, all I had to do was include "trip this guy when he comes in once" as part of another deal. This job is so fucking easy nowadays, humies aren't even allowed to burn you alive when they figure out who you are anymore.

The demon just said you died, not that they get your soul.

Yeah? What do you think happens to your soul when you sign that contract in blood?

Arrogance, greed, pride all wrapped into a binding agreement with an evil being you willingly submit to.

Like I said, so damned easy nowadays.

Rolled 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1 = 15 (10d2)

Let's do this shit motherfucker.

Rolled , , , , , , , , , = 0 (10d0)

Nothing that isn't stated in the contract. Also there isn't even a contract, it's a verbal agreement. This is a rookie demon.

Does that even count as rolling the dies?

>have 6-sided dice that run 2-7 on the faces
got em

I don't think there's opportunity to Daniel Webster this after you have the heart attack.

No. Just playing a video game where I have to simulate a nearly infinite number of die rolls is enough to guarantee my death. Also, the demon might count pick up a die and setting it back down as a roll, or count the vibrations of the table or my hand while my hand is rested on my die. I've been fucked by the completely screwy perceptions of too many batshit insane people to let $10,000 fuck me.

Easy, take him up on the offer then never play games that require dice again.

I don't know what 10,000$ is, but if you mean $10,000, then yes I would take the deal and everyone ITT saying no is a fucking moron. It's not a lot of money, but the odds of rolling ten 1s in a row are so bad, even if you played a game every week of your life you'd probably never see it happen even to someone else. I've never even seen someone roll four 1s in a row, fucking ten? And if the demon has the ability to alter fate or whatever, then she most likely had the power to kill you if you turned her deal down anyways.

Not even people approach with odd propositions without an angle, don't take bar bets. It's a demon with enough power to remotely induce heart attacks. Or a demon using pretense to give you money it foresees you using to harm better people. Or your life is an EC Comic, your DM bought a rubber mask and loaded dice to prank you, and the stress of rolling 9 1s causes a heart attack.

$10,000,000 maybe...

I make a character and give them an emphasis in every skill.
For those who don't know, in L5R you can take emphasis on skills which allows you to reroll 1s. Thx for the money, fool

Hard to take a re-roll while you're having a heart attack, dumbass.

Yes.
I play GURPS.

This is some no man of woman born shit if I've ever seen it

I would continuously accept the deal until I'm rich or until I die. I'm already suicidal enough as it is because the world is fucked. Dying means nothing to me anymore, especially if it comes with the chance of turning my life around and no longer wanting to die.

>buy dice without a 1
>roll after every time i roll a 1 to break the streak

Which was apparently more than you could manage.

d6 has pretty bad odds in comparison, though.

If you're making deals with demons, I'm pretty sure you're going to hell by default regardless of whether you sold your soul or not.

>making deals with demons
>making LUCK BASED deals with demons

Simple, keep a loaded die on you and use it if you ever roll 9 1's in a row. The key to dealing with devils is to fuck them over.

>a small sum of cash, comparatively
>Verbal only contract
>Doesn't even specify that they get their soul
>Death clause can be avoided thanks to the specific nature by crafty Wizards (oh no, a heart attack, better use one of the millions of countermeasures I could have set up because I knew what was going to happen)

This demon is clearly a new hire, I'd accept then coach them through making a proper faustian bargain.

>>Death clause can be avoided thanks to the specific nature by crafty Wizards (oh no, a heart attack, better use one of the millions of countermeasures I could have set up because I knew what was going to happen)
You won't be laughing so hard when you get mauled to death by a giant heart

I think he simply doesn't have the budget to make an attractive bargain for a person's soul, so he's just doing the best he can with what he has.

That, or the demon isn't authorized to make such a bargain; he has to work his way up the ladder from things like tempting children to lie and steal. The idea being that decades of temptation and bargaining will teach him how to most efficiently fleece mortals.

>take deal
>Play for years and years, never rolling the 1 ten times in a row
>Decades go by, your aging body is slowly failing you
>Friends whom you have campaigned with your whole life start dying one by one of age or cancer or disease
>Many more years pass, your body still aging.
>You're the oldest person in the world by several decades. Each moment is either pain, confusion, or a blur of consciousness
>You slowly remember the deal
>And realise
>You can't die
>Until you roll 1, ten times in a row.

Never make a deal with a demon.

agreed, honestly this demon is an idiot. So many ways to void the verbal contract and no stipulation on the soul being claimed, free money for no risk.

he can take the skill that allows him to reroll any 1s meaning that after he rolls a 1 he can immediately reroll voiding the chain.

It's a goddamn demon. a)it's a verbal contract with a demon, so different laws apply and b)It's a contract with a demon, you're going to hell for accepting it regardless of whether you sell your soul or not.

this is actually a good premise for a recurring npc, a demon thats an idiot or incredibly bad at making deals. Constantly equating to a free reward to a player after every arc.

never stipulated in the verbal contract that you CANNOT die until you roll 10 1s, demon contracts are VERY exact. Readin the fine print like a jewish lawyer will always let you see every way a demon can fuck you.

>eternal soul is at least worth $40k.
>40k

ok user based on what ruleset? What campaign etc? Making a deal with a devil does not auto condemn your soul, plenty of warlocks get into the afterlife. Hell plenty of warlocks play on some spectrum of good.

OP said YOU, not your character.

Begone demon thot

Demons aren't real, so I accept the cash from the otherkin retard and leave.

alright then once again, based on which mythos from what culture? Almost every demon deal ive heard of the demon can only take from you exactly what is stipulated in a contract. No more no less, Demon deals arent monkey paws. They are massive pay outs with terrible risks. This is a minor payout with no risk.

>ten grand
>for my life

Nigga is this some sort of sick ass joke? Are you being legit right now? That’s barely a fraction of what I can make in my life. This is just outright insulting.

Fuck no. If they can manifest 10,000 bucks from thin air they sure as hell can determine the outcome of my dice rolls

Not if it's not an evil deal. The demon might be evil, but if the deal results in no wrongdoing occurring then the guy who accepts the deal is fine. That'd be like if you can be taken to court because the guy who owned a shop you went to once was a serial killer, whatever evil shit the guy I'm dealing with does on his downtime is unrelated to our transaction.

>implying it won't just make the next 10 dice rolls into 1s just to fuck with me because demons and shit
Game on, you red fuck.

>manifest 10,000 bucks from thin air
But that would be counterfeiting, it wouldn't really represent a value of 10,000$. The deal's for an amount of fiat currency, surely the money you're expected to accept from the devil was officially issued and has a verifiable record of its exchange.

It won't get to that point, shitforbrains

Assuming D20, ten 1's in a row is a 1 in a 10.24 trillion chance.

Even if you rolled a million D20s in the remainder of your natural life, that's less then a one in ten million chance of rolling ten 1s in a row.

DOOM dropped like two years ago, they still haven't recovered from their last "downsizing".

I play wargames i would die instantly. Def worth it for RPG players though.

>If you're making deals with demons, I'm pretty sure you're going to hell by default regardless of whether you sold your soul or not.
If faust got away with specifically selling his soul i am sure I can get away with this.

what are the chances that the demon will curse all my dice to only ever roll 1s if i take this deal?

user, demons don't exist irl

why would the demon propose such a bargain if I weren't destined to roll ten 1s in a row

Rolled 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 = 10 (10d1)

Sure, my life's garbage. I'll take that deal.

You aren't selling your soul here, though.

this is a pretty bad deal. its not worded well at all. i can cheat by this bargain. nothing to stop me from rolling a d10000000000 cause virtual dice are a thing. theres nothing you even noted to stop cheating. i could use a real die and just place it on the table as a 6, blatently. that's how i roll. contracts need to specify that kinda shit.

Yeah, but chances are you're still being damned for agreeing to a deal with a demon.
Also, it's also ridiculously vague. Does a computer generated dice roll count? Only in the context of gaming/gambling? What?

That said 10,000 dollars isn't worth your life anyway.

>this smalltime slut
>demon

REAL FIEND HERE
