Dice results broken?

Dear roll20, I've used your site ever since I found it to run and play D&D, but in one particular campaign, for multiple sessions, every single roll I have made has resulted in a roll below 10 (before modifiers), and beyond that I have had up to 4 critical failures in a single session multiple times. It's been isolated to that session alone - in all my other games I have never experienced anything like this. While I'm open to the idea I just have bad luck, it's getting to a point where it is getting utterly ridiculous and ruining the game, simply due to how consistently awful the rolls are. If there is anything you can do, it would be fantastic. Thanks, roll20.

I don't think it's a bug.&nbsp; We've all experienced good/bad streaks.&nbsp; Sound like you're currently in a bad streak&nbsp; ;-(&nbsp; wiki about how roll20 randomizes their rolls <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/QuantumRoll" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/QuantumRoll</a> Current randomness of Quantum Roll: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/home/quantum" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/home/quantum</a>

Quantum Roll is more random than physical dice (the links kindly provided by Vince will confirm that... literally billions of rolls support that information). However I can understand your frustration, both physical dice and digitals ones HATE me. I rarely roll above a 10, although how much of that is my human nature to remember negative 'patterns' rather than the positive ones is yet to be decided. If in real doubt head into that game and do the following: /talktomyself (to stop it spamming the chatlog) Then once active do this a few times: [[999d20]] Hover the total to check out the results, you'll see runs of good rolls and runs of bad rolls... but then get a real d20 and roll it 999+ times and write down the results, you'll likely see a similar distribution :) Remember to run /talktomyself again to switch it off though ;) As this isn't a bug I'll move this to the specific use forum.
Thank you very much Ziechael for responding, I appreciate the time and consideration. Thanks for the information on the quantum roll, all things considered I'm probably going to slug it out and just stick with it.
