Do tabletop RPGs count? Ringman and I began an Edge of the Empire campaign, using the beta release of the core rulebook that I got for free from CVI. He's a duty-bound Trandoshan bodyguard named Dooshk, and I'm an obsessive Gand slicer named Funger. We're both motivated by a former nemesis. We took a smuggling job for a Hutt and things went south pretty quick, and as we're just starting out... we're not very good at what we do. In fact, we're barely competent half the time. Though, that's mostly due to our horrible luck with dice.
Dice hate us. Nothing but failures for us. And as this is a dice pool system that use various types of dice to cancel out other dice, the rare event that we manage to get a Natural 20, the other negative dice cancel it out, so we fail spectacularly.
After having one of his dice fail over and over again, Ringman picked it up, told it he hated it, and threw it into his pile and got out a different die.
The system uses weird symbol dice, and rather than keep referring to the conversion table, we sacrificed a few dice to put the appropriate symbol stickers on. I did a lousy job with two of them and now we have two shitty spin-down dice.
