Dungeons and Dragons Player Spends 5 Years Tracking Rolls
![]()
First released in 1974, Dungeons & Dragons has been incredibly popular for over fifty years and has deeply influenced both tabletop and video game role-playing. While traditionally played with dice and friends around a table, recent video games like Baldur’s Gate 3 have introduced the game to a whole new audience. At its core, D&D relies on dice rolls – usually a 20-sided die – to determine success or failure. These rolls aren’t random, though; they’re based on the situation and a player’s skills. For instance, lifting something heavy might require a Strength roll, while trying to deceive someone would use a Deception roll, both modified by the character’s respective abilities. Considering how often players roll dice, it’s amazing that one person has been tracking their results for over five years!
