Bad Vassal Mojo

By markcsoul, in X-Wing Off-Topic

So any tips on how to appease the dice gods of vassal? I know most vassal players all say that their dice are terrible on vassal, but mine (especially red) have been horrific for at least a couple months now, including all 8 of my vassal league games.

I input most vassal games in to lady luck so I do have the facts to back it up.

For just my 8 league games, I'm getting about 1/3 red blanks before modifying. And most games in general I usually have more red blanks than are expected, also get a fair amount more than I should with rerolls.

For someone who mainly runs offensive jousting lists, that's really bad, as my red dice are way more important to be at least "average" than my green dice.

It's also made it really hard to judge the strengths of my said squads. I've had close wins that shouldn't have been close, close losses than probably should have had some wins, and some bad losses that should have been closer.

I'm thinking maybe a big donation to Muon's tip jar might do it!

Mine tend to be really swingy, one game my greens are walls and my reds on fire, another one I don't get a single evade. Maybe it is variance, maybe the RNG isn't perfect.

They've tested it in the past and the RNG for Vassal is actually slightly better than most sets of dice.

I trust Vassal's RNG much, much more than I trust anyone's perception of bad dice - even my own. Especially because Lady Luck exists to give you at least a BIT of an idea of whether you were right to think your dice were the issue, or your play.
