DICE MATH (Remastered) - Why the Odds are Never in Your Favor


Listen Later

What if I told you the secret to TTRPG greatness isn’t a magic sword, but a deep understanding of math? In this remastered episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we break down dice math—because nothing says "epic adventure" like probabilities and statistics. Learn how to outsmart the dice, impress your party, and finally understand why your bard keeps rolling ones. Turns out, math is the real boss fight.
