I read this bdsm story where the sub was told to roll some dice and the they'd have a reward of punishment based on the number rolled, right? Not that weird of a premise for this sort of thing.
EXCEPT they used two d6s! And I am too much of a tabletop gamer to let that shit slide.
That's not how you do it! You roll a d12 or something so that each possibility has a roughly equal likelyhood.
But 2d6 and 1d12 have completely different probability curves! Look, here's a meme:
See? The punishment/reward most likely is gonna be the one at 7.
Although, I mean... I guess you could argue that this let's you weight the results? Like make 2 and 12 the biggest punishment/reward, so they only rarely roll, whereas smaller punishments/rewards around 7 are more likely.
But I don't know. It seems you'd want to explain that if you did.
Ugh. Another bdsm scenario ruined by unrealistic statistics.
