Extreme Rolls.

Recently in the last few months, extreme rolls on dice whether it be a 1 or 100 on a 1d100, or a 1 or 6 on a 1d6 seem to be popping up a lot. To the point where players are abandoning roll 20 in favour of competitors. I run a reasonable large discord group, and this has been reported by mutlitple GMs, and i'm also part of a podcast group, and they are considering it too much for their actual plays now too. I've been on roll20 for a long enough time to know this isn't just flukes, its to often and to consistant across the board. Last Actual Play a 3 hour session on CoC, saw 9 crits, and 4 fumbles.

I'm not going to link all 2997 rolls, but.... seems to be working as intended: There's a 33% chance of seeing a 1 or a 6 on a d6, so.... Do you have a screenshot of an extraordinary run of 1s and 100s on a d100? That would be more impressive than a cherry-picked 6d6 averaging 4.8
RPG Nook said: I've been on roll20 for a long enough time to know this isn't just flukes, its to often and to consistant across the board. This comes across as "I'm an expert so you should just trust me without me needing to provide robust evidence for such a bold claim." I generally play four, four-hour sessions per week on Roll20.  I've seen crazy good streaks and crazy bad streaks.  I've even seen crazy meh streaks.  It all seems to average out in the end.  If you really want to try to convince the community at large that something is wrong with the Quantum roller you're going to need to provide substantial proof.  One, two, or five sessions where it seems like the numbers are not average means nothing in the context of hundreds of thousands of sessions being played across the user base. -Adam
