The dice betrayed us

There's a comic strip I saw where a gamer is explaining all about his different dice. Special dice, collectible dice, rare dice. And then he shows some in a dark and manky box. "And these... these are the dice that betrayed me!"

Bryan and me both had sets of traitorous dice in our Blood Bowl game tonight as roll after roll failed. I had two attempts at dodging and rolled a 1 both times, so the guy trips up and my go was over. Then Bryan rolled double skulls which meant his player lost what should have been an easy block. And so on and so forth. 

In fact, one of my very first dice rolls was also double skulls. For my "star player".

We lost count of the failed attempts to pick up the ball. 

The game ended 0-0. 

We were playing Black Orcs (or 'Blorcs') against Lizard-men again with me taking charge of the Blorcs. Apart from a couple of times when I was able to shove little lizards into the crowd, resulting in their injury, and one roll when I took down the big kroxigor, the dice let me down every time. And Bryan fared no better.

But there was some mayhem along the way.

I've come to the conclusion that in Blood Bowl you aren't playing against your opponent, you're playing against the game itself, which is designed to make you fail heroically (or farcically). Tonight it beat both of us!
