In one of the groups to which I belonged there was a fellow who would
"meditate" before rolling any dice. After this he would always roll sixes (I
never liked him anyway he was the one who poured acid on my samurai and shot
him up with crossbow bolts and traps and afterwards whined "I was trying to
get the gargoyle" when I threw him off the top of a tower. One of his later
characters was responsible for pushing the samurai into a sewer where he
drowned).

Anyway, back to the subject. I think that some people have figured out
exactly how to throw a die so that it lands to their favor. I used to be
able to do that (so obviously that it couldn't be performed publicly) with a
d6, and I don't see why other people couldn't develope this ability further.
This also leads to some crazy superstitions among roleplayers (In my group
people always leave their dice with the number they want facing up, one guy
washes his dice every half hour or so and another talks to his.)

Does anyone have any other superstitions about dice rolling?
