So, I got to play Pul Cthulhu for the
0:02
first time this week, and we had our we
0:05
had our first couple sessions. We're
0:06
recording for the podcast. We're doing a
0:08
whole how to play thing. Um, I'm much
0:11
more used to a d20 system than a d00
0:13
system, but any dice system, you're
0:16
always going to have the chance of just
0:18
rolling absolutely hot garbage. Um, I
0:22
had a life or death roll
0:26
to 100 in Call of Cthulhu. 100 is a
0:30
fumble. It is the worst possible result
0:34
on a succeed or die roll. Fell to my
0:38
character's death. But Pulp Cthulhu, you
0:40
can spend all of your luck points. You
0:42
just barely survive by some pulp fiction
0:46
explanation. So survive just barely.
0:49
This is like the first scene of the
0:51
adventure though. So like immediately my
0:54
character is in a really bad situation.
0:56
Climb up off a cliff miraculously not
0:59
dead. Immediately on my next roll
1:02
immediately
1:03
second 100. What makes it even worse? I
1:07
roll the 2d10s. I managed to [ __ ] one of
1:10
them. The 10's place I got a zero and
1:13
I'm looking at a cocked d10. So, I've
1:16
got a one in 10 chance of fumbling.
1:19
Anything else would have been like a
1:20
really really good success. And I knew I
1:25
knew it was going to happen ahead of
1:27
time. I knew it. I rolled it. Still got
1:30
a 100. Do you know what the odds are?
1:33
For context, rolling three natural ones
1:36
in a row on a d20 is a 1 in 8,000
1:39
chance. Rolling two 100s in a row is a 1
1:43
in 10,000 chance.
