Forums » Forum Games » The Person Above Rolled a 1

Inspired by all of the DnD content I see on a daily basis despite never playing it a day in my life (what a shame), I decided to make a game out of it.

For example;

Person A: I try summoning Mothman, but I rolled a 1.

Person B: Mothman steals all of your lamps and leaves.

Then Person B does their "I rolled a 1" statement and so on forth.

I try to unlock a safe, but I rolled a 1.

not only are you not able to unlock the safe, the massive solid metal box also manages to tip over and squash you like a bug. ouch.

meanwhile, i'm trying to plan a get-together with a friend, but i roll a 1.

Unfortunately you accidentally gave your friend the wrong address and have to spend the whole day finding said friend.

I try to re-enact Beowulf, but I rolled a 1.

You impersonate Beowulf so badly that you anger the ancient spirits of sovngarde which transport you to the cursed lands of modded skyrim! Enjoy slaying countless flying tank engines!

Ok now my turn! I try to change the TV channel but I rolled a 1!

unfortunately, you press the remote button in a super specific cursed angle that takes you to a secret channel that only seems to focus on a well in a shady looking woodland area. wait, is that a black-haired girl in white crawling out of the well? why is her head tilted like that so you can't see her face? OH GOD WHY IS SHE CRAWLING OUT OF YOUR TV SCREEN, RUN-

in the meantime, i've been trying to cook myself some eggs for breakfast, but i roll a 1.

The water was too hot and it got cloudy and the eggs broke up while being poached, making a mess.

Meanwhile, I was going to a job interview, but I rolled a 1…

Yikes! You forgot to change out of your pajamas and didn't get the job as a result.

I try to build a tank, but I rolled a 1.

Your materials are limited to cardboard, unfortunately, and while you put together an immaculate replica of a tank -- perfect for a boxcar race -- the moment you settle into the drivers seat the whole thing falls apart at the seams! What a shame!

I have a crucial deadline to meet and I'm required to write a darn good front page piece for the Planet but I rolled a 1...

“So you tried to use chatgpt and the word salad was worse than your scribbles. Perry White then put you on the neighborhood social desk for a week so you could get your head together.”

*sips her coffee*

“I was waiting here to get a ride home in an Uber, but I rolled a 1…”

The Uber driver came quickly. However you ended up in the desert and had to hitchhike home.

I try to make a checkmate in chess, but I rolled a 1.

The game is damn near evenly matched, and while it seems to be going smashingly, the pieces start to melt and meld together, somehow confusing the players as to what may be what piece. It's a catastrophic fluke, but at least the chessboard somewhat resembles that infamous painting by Salvador Dalí 'The Persistence of Memory'. What a lovely little mishap!

I'm on the verge of hatching the most diabolical scheme of the ages, but I rolled a 1...

"You made your evil diabolical evil Big bad plan...HOWEVER! You accidentally missclicked and sent it to BATMAN! OHHH NO!"

"I tried to communicate with a chair! BUT ROLLED A ONE!"

The chair is sentient. However they didn't appreciate your company and scooted to another room, leaving behind scratch marks on the floor.

I try to bake cookies, but I rolled a 1.

Your cookies are a disaster. It doesn't help that you didn't have all the right ingredients to make them, and nothing really to substitute what you didn't have. One of the elements in the oven wasn't working properly, thus creating a lopsidedly baked batch, underdone and pitifully gooey. The mess you made in your efforts is monumental, flour everywhere, dishes piled high, the counters in utter disarray. And don't get me started on the taste... 1 out of 5, would not recommend. It was a hugely unsuccessful endeavor...

It was an arduous day of saving a city from mayhem -- runaway buses, a collapsing bridge, a sinking ship carrying precious cargo, a rampant kaiju tromping through the busiest district in Metropolis, and an unfortunate verbal sparring match with a certain egocentric billionaire. But that's all said and done... Thankfully.~

Now, I'm trying to relax after all the chaos, but sadly I rolled a 1...

"You get an incoming call...It's your wife" @w@

"I CLICKED CTRL + C BUT ROLLED A 1!!!"

“… your cat walked across your keyboard and stepped on the ‘delete’ key…”

Jenn looked at one of her long nails and sighs… “I was painting my nails this morning when suddenly a 1 was rolled…”

You've made a mess of the whole thing, nail polish every where as you tip the bottle over by accident. It's a disaster! Your dress is ruined, the carpet needs done now and dollop has even managed to paint a big splotch all over your pretty little shoe. You can't seem to clean it up either -- all you seem to be doing is making it worse the more you try. Stop while you're ahead!

I've got the greatest riddle of all time to share with my adversary. I know for a fact this is the one that will stump him for sure, but unfortunately I rolled a 1!

"You unleash the ultimate flex in riddles, a challenge to the mind and senses...However it only last 5 minutes as it's solved by Chat Gpt...also you made a spelling mistake when writting it down!"

"I tried to feed a steak to my couch but I rolled a 1!"

"You ended up eating the steak yourself, complete with A-1 sauce."

"I was on my way to visit Sophia early this morning, but I rolled a 1..."

By a whim dealt from Lady Luck's cruel hand, you appear to a game piece in a boardgame. So basically, your movement in traffic is determined by a omnipotent hand rolling a pair of die. By the time you get there, it's midnight and Sophia is long asleep.

I try to rub a magical lamp, but I rolled a 1.
