I wonder if they hated thac0, polymorph and grapple checks?

One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.

It seems kind of familar.  Didn't Wotc run some sort of promotion a few years back.  I remember some sort of D20 with similar symbols that you could print out.

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror.

Of course, long before 2nd century AD, the Greeks already had knowledge of this and the other dice.

If only someone had been there to let them know they weren't having fun.

I thought it was because the rich (rulers) were drinking water out of lead pipes.....huh.
