Random Number God	comment	"We guarantee that each number is random individually, but we don't guarantee that more than one of them is random." Also known as RNGesus, if you're feeling punny. A statistician can tell you that properly generated random numbers will follow a discrete uniform distribution, giving you a roughly equal chance of rolling very good or very bad numbers. They may wax eloquent about how pseudo-random numbers are generated in computers, and how dice are wonderful randomizers. A good statistician will even disabuse you of the notion that a six sided die has an exactly 1/6 chance to land on any one side; most dice are not built to that kind of precision. (Casino craps table dice are. They're also more expensive.) But it's going to be close to even distribution, even with a cheap die. A gamer, either of the tabletop or video variety, will tell you that this is all a load of dingoes' kidneys. The characters that gamers play live and die on good or bad rolls, and even if your dice are perfectly square and uniform, even if your game uses cryptographically strong random numbers, these numbers do not follow "distributions" or "probabilities." Instead, they usually produce whatever number you really didn't want. A tabletop gamer may say that the dice are "trying to kill" them if they encounter a long series of bad rolls (e.g. broke every weapon he was carrying). Unless, of course, you know the proper way to placate the Random Number God: then the dice will smile upon you. Usually. The name of this trope comes from Angband's and NetHack's fanbases (coined in the Angband fanbase, spread by Nethack's), as a fanciful expansion of "RNG", for "Random Number Generator"; both games use Gameplay Randomization and are partially Luck-Based Missions, considering how many Instant Deaths there are, and the players of both games have been known to build altars to the "Random Number God" or curse his/her/its name. Or both. Some games try to cut out the nonsense by supplying their own Luck Manipulation Mechanic. This never works—the Random Number God is not mocked, and it'll find a way to mess with you regardless. Some games take it a step further and introduce a Bad Luck Mitigation Mechanic to prevent the Random Number God from being too mean. In Real Life or certain other situations, a Two-Headed Coin can masquerade as a mere minion of the Random Number God up until The Reveal. For literal deities of luck and fortune, see Lady Luck.

Random Number God / int_1c1ceec7	comment	The Monster Hunter fandom has come to the conclusion that the series has a sadistic, psychic, "desire-based" RNG for determining how often a really rare item Randomly Drops, also known as the desire sensor. It will skew the odds out of your favor if you really want something, and the only way to end your curse is to not want it. You can't act like you don't want it, you have to actually not need it; the system is immune to reverse psychology. So if you spend hours farming the same giant monster for its armor plating, you may go through fifty corpses without seeing one, but you'll end up swimming in the stuff once you give up and move on to a different goal. The only other way to appease it may be petting the pig. The lead designer of the games has officially stated that the desire sensor does not exist, and confirmation bias is the true enemy. He, however, does admit to questioning the nature of the game at times when even he can't catch a break after 30 back-to-back hunts. The "desire sensor" has permeated the Monster Hunter fandom and become a general superstition across multiple genres with coveted Rare Random Drops, though it's cited most often among Gacha Games.

A few rules of thumb: If a game ever has to pick between a long pattern and short one, expect to see the longest possible choice. If a game is going to show you some brand-new interesting way to fail, it won't be while you're practicing; it'll be when you're running live in front of thousands of people. If a boss is only vulnerable during certain attacks, expect to wait a while for those. Keizaron is not allowed to come in under estimate.

Random Number God / int_49ad83ee	comment	In World of Warcraft, it's customary to use the /roll command a few times before rolling for a specific piece of equipment to please the Random Number God and to get the low numbers "out of the way". In addition, there are persistent (but frequently debunked) rumors that the game seeds the random number generator according to specific criteria, including, but not limited to, the raid leader, the first person entering the dungeon and/or the number of damage-over-time spells (more dots!) on the boss. The developers are equally sadistic with this. Two of the Achievements involved having to get 100 on rolls to Need or Greed loot (once the system was redesigned to distribute loot drops automatically). It can take as long to get those to come up as specific, desperately wanted gear. The Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft community has taken to naming their God RNGesus. With a significant number of cards having RNG-based effects, many streamers actually ''pray'' to RNGesus when they need a random effect to go the way they need. The community would then christened the Old God Yogg'Saron as the game's RNGesus, whose card in Whispers of the Old Gods would be the most infamous RNG-based effect in the game, where he casts a completely random spell for each spell the player cast in the game. What everyone thought would be a fun but unreliable card ended up deciding the outcome of professional tournaments matches from anywhere between of securing the player a win or completely throwing it. His legacy continues to live on and any time he's reintroduced to the game, they would make sure they come with something very heavily RNG-related to go with him. Praise Yogg!

Random Number God / int_4be1bdd0	comment	Golden Sun and it's sequel are famous for having a random number god that is loving and nurturing should you pay tribute: the game uses a fairly simplistic mechanic to calculate random events like drops or critical hits, and is one that players have thoroughly manhandled and torn apart to the point it's easily possible to get 1/256 probability items one hundred percent of the time. For one of many examples, Ivan's strongest weapon, the Kikuichimonji which is normally an impossibly Rare Drop, will be found 100% of the time if you fight an Ice Gargoyle and a Fenrir in Venus Lighthouse and target the Fenrir with this pattern: Issac casts Clay Spire, Garret casts Flare Wall, Ivan casts Tornado, Mia casts Ice Horn, Issac defends, Garret uses the Torch Djinn, Ivan defends, Mia casts Wish. You can guarantee a fight against these two by getting to the main room of Venus Lighthouse (with the Psynergy Stone in the middle), and then saving and doing a hard reset to reset the RNG seed. Other than that the only real "setup" needed is that your on an appropriate level that the enemies die on your last turn and the character's speed have them act in the proper order (First Ivan, then Issac, then Mia, and finally Garret) — both of these will be the case by default by the time you arrive at this point in the game.

Back when Prime items dropped from the Void, there was also frequent talk that the game borrowed the desire sensor from the Monster Hunter series; if you were hunting for Forma blueprints, it felt like you were almost guaranteed to find only Prime parts, and vice versa. "Making a Deal with L00tcifer" has also come to be a euphemism for simply buying the desired item from the ingame market or trading for it from another player, as the saying goes "His price can be steep but L00tcifer always delivers."

Random Number God / int_640d9be1	comment	Fire Emblem has a major history in regards to its RNG regarding hit rates, to the frustration of many players through its history. In the first five games, the RNG is a simple one-RN - what you see is what you get. Then, starting with Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, it begins implementing 2 RN, where the game will roll two numbers and the average will factor whether the attack or miss based on hit rates, hence the term "True Hit" by fans. But in Fire Emblem Fates and Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, the RNG is completely reworked which uses a formula when factoring hit rates at least 50 displayed hit, otherwise uses one RN for anything lower than 50. Fire Emblem: Three Houses went back to using a 2 RN system, but Fire Emblem Engage return to using the Fates RNG system again. Expect horror stories from many players when the odds are against them and lose a valuable unit out of a bad gamble.

On the other hand, sometimes RNG was on their side: a boss battle against a vampiric fallen paladin ended up being an utter anti-climax after DM Chris Zito rolled three consecutive Natural 1s, resulting in the villain slipping on Grant's ball bearings and hitting the bottom of the ship so hard that he broke through it and quickly sank to a watery grave.

Random Number God / int_6f76d71a	comment	In the The Sims community, the term "sado-random" (a slightly more accurate form of "pseudo-random") is popular, referring to how even when it doesn't glitch somehow, the game's RNG always manages to give you exactly what you don't want whenever you don't want it. Specific opportunities for unfortunate randomized outcomes vary throughout the series, but the cussedness of the RNG is invariable. For instance, the base odds of a Sim being abducted by aliens are incredibly low, so it'll only happen if they've snuck off to stargaze at the worst possible moment for them to get whisked away by little green men and probed to within an inch of their lives. Likewise, you've got pretty good odds of finding any given job in the newspaper, but if it's exactly the one you're looking for, it always somehow manages to take much, much longer. Fortunately, the cheat console gives you various ways of interfering with most randomized outcomes.

Random Number God / int_74ca38b	comment	The Monopoly-inspired Richman series has the player roll the dice to move across the board. Naturally, RNG is involved when rolling dices, as well as checking what card you will get at card spots and chance spots. A lot of players find that it's unusually common to walk into a mine or opponents' nukes when using regular dices, walk into the direction they don't want to go when passing through path splits, or get a chance card that will screw them up, while opponents often slip through the players' nukes or hit a dangerous good god just by throwing regular dices. You can prevent this to an extent by using various cards like remote dice or scapegoat (and depending on the game you play, some of these cards will not work against other cards or chances), but good luck if you run out of them.

Naturally, players were quick to complain about how annoying the system was, especially given that different characters and weapons of the same rarity were very much not equal in usefulness. This is lampshaded by one of the random conversations you can overhear in the Citadel DLC, where an N7 Fury (a biotic that favours light weapons) is arguing with a requisitions officer that keeps trying to give her upgrades to a very heavy shotgun.

Random Number God / int_86772227	comment	In Knights of the Dinner Table, related to Hackmaster, a character was once beaten to a pulp for touching another gamer's dice. He was blinded by a cupful of soda and then was on the receiving end of a flying tackle. No one (except Sara) thought that this was uncalled for, as "that's one dice squirrel who'll think twice before touching another man's dice!" The attacker in that scenario was the 5'3" pencil-necked Bob Herzog, and the man who touched his dice was the 6'11" ex-marine Nitro Ferguson, and every time the event is referenced (the fight itself was never shown) it is strongly implied that Nitro got hurt at least as bad as Bob did. In the strip, they even outlined a "dice cleansing" ritual, used to banish bad luck from the character's dice. Many dice superstitions are explored in this strip. Bob refers to his dice by name, keeps them segregated according to purpose and game genre. Dave refers frequently to having his section of the table "trained" the way he likes it for dice rolling. All of the Knights, even the sensible Sara, have dice rolling styles. But the most infamous incident had Brian and Bob "fame-rubbing" their dice on Gary Jackson's corpse (a "legendary RPG creator" pastiche of Gary Gygax and Steve Jackson) to charge them with good luck. This backfired because Gary, being dead, was obviously out of good luck (as Sara pointed out, someone who'd died in a plane crash couldn't have been very lucky to begin with). All the fame rubbed dice performed poorly in game play. Or possibly because that corpse wasn't Gary Jackson's.

They spent the entire time landing on either Bankrupt or Lose A Turn, indeed an impressive feat as this game had only one of each on a board of 24 possible spaces — roughly only an 8% chance of landing on either of those two bad spaces. Dan gets four Lose A Turn spaces in a row, the odds of which would be an astonishing 1 in about 390,625 had the RNG clearly not been stacked heavily against them for whatever reasonnote They chose the 10 minute quick game option which, likely, was designed to heavily favor turn-losses to make sure everyone gets turns in such a quick game since Wheel of Fortune lets you keep spinning until either landing on a bad space or guessing a letter that isn't on the board..

But the RNG still remains to taunt and flaunt your much-desired drops infront of your face, especially if it just gives you the shoes or hands part of a costume you really want. And if a drop you're aiming for is in a Expert Mission, expect much agony as you either keep doing drawn-out boss fights just to get what you want, or keep restarting them because the boss teleported out of the arena and can't get back in, or killed your entire party unavoidably by spamming Gigantic Ki blasts.

While all other monsters of that class have accurate Hit Points displays, the RNG has nonsensical numbers or words to represent remaining and total life. It also shows up during The Festival, where it runs a game where you roll ten dice; anything higher than a one gets you an obscenely valuable item. The item cannot be obtained there because you only ever roll ten ones. Getting it actually requires completing an entirely different quest. Players who have become aware of higher-dimensional spaces may start to briefly encounter the RNG in other locations, and one of the more traumatic experiences during a quest is briefly seeing it in its true form.

Random Number God / int_9f89a5f0	comment	In PokÃ©mon, the Random Number Arceus has a habit of trolling you by, for example, giving you critical hits when your opponent is one hit away from fainting anyway. Or when you're trying to catch something and you know your next attack won't make it faint, but a critical hit will. It also heavily favors the computer when it comes to things like accuracy, paralysis, confusion, etc. Enjoy getting hit with Sand Attack once and whiffing your next 3 or 4 attacks, while they can be hit with Sand Attack 5 times and be paralyzed, but still manage to attack every turn and land them all. Of course, every so often it will decide to Throw the Dog a Bone and give you a ridiculously lucky turn or two. Just so you don't get too suspicious of it. It's even worse when playing competitively. It is rare for RNG to allow either side's schemes to work ideally. Many matches are determined by the number of consecutive turns a paralyzed Pokemon won't move, and finishing off the opponent is often made less trivial by repeated missing from attacks with accuracy upwards of 80%. Random Crits have become something of a meme in the Nuzlocke community (where fainted PokÃ©mon die and can't be used), where it's common for inexperienced Nuzlockers to needlessly lose PokÃ©mon to critical hits that could have totally been avoided. Such players who complain about crits on forums are usually spammed with the critical advice "always play around crits". The RNG is also what determines a PokÃ©mon's ability, nature, IVs, and by extent, shininess.Note Shininess is determined by IVs in Generation II, while starting from Generation III it is determined by a complex calculation revolving around the original trainer's ID number, the current trainer's secret ID number (a hidden serial code used to ensure that no two save files are treated alike, as OT ID numbers are able to be identical between trainers), and the PokÃ©mon's personality value (which determines its gender and ability; in Generations III and IV, it also determined its nature). Because of how diverse the range is for all of these (excluding abilities, which are limited to two at most [apart from hidden abilities]), it is very difficult to get a perfect PokÃ©mon for your party. For instance, it is very likely that the shiny PokÃ©mon you just encountered has poor enough stats to serve as nothing more than a trophy, or that PokÃ©mon you found with the ability you want is severely crippled by its IV-altering nature. Conversely, it is possible for a good ability to perfectly compensate for a bad nature, and a shiny PokÃ©mon could be just enough to carry you a long way as a trainer. The fact that Generation VI now includes Super Training and PokÃ©mon Amie, two surefire ways to efficiently EV train your party to Game-Breaker status helps alleviate some of the RNG's flaws. Gen VII introduces Hyper Training, which can increase a Level 100 Pokemon's stats to their possible maximumnote It doesn't actually change the Pokemon's IV itself but "flags" it so that the stat is "simulated" as a maximum IV. This and the Ability Capsule (an item that can change the non-hidden ability of a Pokemon with 2 possible abilities) meant that the only thing one needs to worry about when it comes to making a competitive monster is its nature and possibly if it has its regular ability(s) or its hidden ability. Then Gen VIII introduced Mints, which let you change your PokÃ©mon's nature.note Like Hyper Training, it just "flags" it to simulate the new nature, so the new nature won't be passed down via breeding, prefered healing berry flavors will remain the same, etc., eliminating the former problem. The Crown Tundra DLC introduces an item known as an Ability Patch, which can change a PokÃ©mon's ability to its hidden ability, but not vice versa, eliminating the later problem. The slot machines have surprisingly intricate mechanics — in particular, the chance of winning in the slots depends on the machine's hidden state when you spin, and most of the time the game will stop you from winning anything. In order to either create or avoid a match the game will skip symbols after you press A. This is apparently Truth in Television — Japanese pachislot machines are legally allowed to skip up to four symbols before stopping.

The rereleases don't have this, however, meaning you will have to rely on luck. You can influence their success by gathering items from mavericks, but even with all the items it largely boils down to a roughly 1 in 10 chance of the cannon working and a 7 in 10 chance of the shuttle working. Using Zero more than X will also make them more likely to succeed, as failure means he's permanently missable. It's a good idea to save Spike Rosered for last and not save when you defeat him, since the randomizer decides how successful the Enigma / shuttle will be during the "You got..." screen: he has the easiest stage of the second group of mavericks and if the shuttle fails you can easily rechallenge him.

There are also many RNG related cards such as Seedling, Cornucopia, and conjuring cards, and although they aren't as evil as the Super Block Meter, it may be game changing in your favor or do absolutely nothing. Packs are also a thing, and to add on insult the chances for a super-rare, legendary, or hero is not listed (although it was quickly found that you will get them below 30% of the time). Prepare to spend many multipacks (11 packs) and not get one legendary and get less than 3 super-rares despite being a 10% and 30% chance to get them, respectively.

Cast member Laura Bailey can usually be spotted "pre-rolling" her dice to choose which seem the luckiest, and she and Ashley Johnson agree on the use of "dice jails". Chance should be king, and yet sometimes the dice seem to obey the Theory of Narrative Causality in that players are prone to getting Natural 20s or Natural 1s: Percy rolling a crit to maintain concentration on his Hex against his arch-nemesis, Dr. Ripley Grog killing Kevdak, his uncle, with a life-or-death critical hit; Vex rolling two crits in a row when Vax is knocked unconscious by the Briarwoods. The dice even believe in True Love's Kiss, apparently — when Vex kisses Percy during his resurrection ritual, she rolls a Natural 20 on her persuasion check to help convince his soul to return. On the other hand, Wil Wheaton had a brief guest spot with a streak of absolutely miserable luck known as "the Wheaton dice curse", rolling five or less an absurd number of times. Even their failures are oddly appropriate for the narrative! In Whitestone, the lingering undead atmosphere causes the entire party to need to make saves against "corruption" once a day. The only person who failed the saves was Percy, who is already acting more violent and being corrupted by the smoky entity from his dream. (It helps that Mercer is an excellent storyteller and readily makes the die rolls make sense). Similarly, Kaylie had a perfect opportunity to attack Scanlan and rolls a 1, as if she can't bring herself to stab her own father.

Who your village starts out with, what your native fruit will be, who moves in, who wants to move out, where and what things will spawn, what items will appear in shops... the list goes on and on. After all, real life isn't exactly pre-planned, now is it? Mr. Resetti actually explicitly points this out to you when chewing you out, on the assumption that you're resetting to Save Scum.

Random Number God / int_bcadd7cb	comment	A number of bizarre good luck superstitions have arisen in the Warhammer 40,000 community. Such as never calling missile launchers by their proper name (it has the word "miss" in it), the idea that painted models are luckier than unpainted modelsnote Ork players don't count; their paint actually does change their units' abilities, by the rules., and the practice of occasionally muttering prayers to the Emperor. Never taken seriously, but often endearing. Don't ever say "anything but an X." The more important the roll is, the higher the chance that you will get that X. Most players have lost more games by saying "anything but an X" than by bad strategy.note If you need to say something, and good sportsmanship dictates you usually do, saying "2s to squish" is usually safe-ish Also worth mentioning are the Chaos gods' chosen numbers. Chaos players used to get bonuses for fielding units of a certain size based on which god you were using. Slaanesh was 6, Nurgle 7, Khorne 8, Tzeentch 9, the idea being that the Chaos god makes the characters more lucky as long as they spend time in their chosen number. Modern versions of the game, for the sake of simplicity, have removed this rule. The 40K rule book advises players who are rolling large numbers of dice to take out the dice that failed and continue rolling the successful onesnote each bullet is determined by 3 dice: whether it hit, how much damage, and whether the target's armor withstood, so squads with automatic weapons can expect to roll 30+ dice up to three times each. Players will tell you the exact opposite: NEVER reroll the successful ones immediately afterwards, because they have just used up a good roll. A player will say, "I never seem to roll as well as I just did." A statistician will say, "Well, duh. Regression to the mean. You just had a lucky break, so the same entirely random process is very likely to produce a lower value simply because most possible values are lower." Both are correct. The player will usually retort, "Whatever," and produce another fifty dice. 40K players always have enough dice, just never enough dakka. Ork players are advised to use green dice for standard rolls ("green iz best"), red dice for moving through terrain ("coz da red ones go fasta"), and blue dice for critical rolls ("da luckiest"). Buy in bulk. A related more-general "rule" is to never roll red dice for armor saves, because they're for killing. And, with Games Workshop occasionally doing promotional faction-specific dice, those are of course, far luckier if you're playing that specific faction. It is also recommended, as the melta is one of the most powerful anti-armor weapons a troop can carry, that it never be referred to as such, as firing a melta weapon is an exercise in comedic inaccuracy. Simply referring to which model is firing should suffice. And never use Meltaguns against infantry. They might be great for blowing up tanks, but against infantry you're guaranteed to roll a 1. Some Eldar players mutter prayers to Khaine, or to Cegorach if using Harlequins. Chaos players, meanwhile, invoke the Dark Gods, and Ork players just shout "WAAAAAGH" when shooting. Or charging. Or at random intervals. The Rogue Trader spin-off RPG made off with the old idea of the Chaos gods' favored numbers by making 9s occasionally have special effects on rolls - especially those related to psychic powers. Yes, this means that Tzeentch, the god of Sorcery and Change, is implied to be the RNG that is out to get you.

Random Number God / int_c19c6efa	comment	Minecraft's random landscape and item generation can create both very favorable and very unfavorable situations, but, usually, you can work your way through it carefully to avoid danger. Even so, sometimes you can get screwed by something virtually impossible to predict; you could fall into a hidden ravine when a creeper explosion disrupted the sand and, seconds after hitting the ground, find yourself face-to-face with another creeper. (But at least you didn't die on impact, or suffocate when the sand fell on you.) Random terrain becomes a more serious problem in the Nether, a Fire and Brimstone Hell dimension accessed through portals. When you first build a portal, you have no way of knowing exactly what you'll find on the other side—it could be a relatively safe area, or a precipice over a lava pit with flying fireball-spewing monsters nearby. Going either way through the portal takes several seconds and blurs your vision for several additional seconds; you may get knocked into lava and lose your entire inventory before you can even get your bearings. Some good enchanted armor or weapons could increase your chances of survival, but the RNG taunts you a bit here, as well. The enchanting table's menu of spells is, like everything else, randomized—each type of item gets 3 options, each of which may give one or more enchantments, and it only tells you the first one. Enchanting anything re-randomizes the options given for everything else, and a given item can only get magicked up at a table once, although you can (at great expense) combine enchantments with an anvil. All forms of magical-item-crafting drain experience levels, so your ability to re-roll your table is limited. To top it all off, many of the best spells cannot ever come from the randomizer table, but must instead be found—randomly—out in the overworld, in spellbooks (the game, of course, never tells you this).

Random Number God / int_dbdd3424	comment	Notably averted in Phantom Doctrine, a turn based strategy game set in the Cold War. Despite a similar interface to XCOM: Enemy Unknown there is no percentage chance to hit during combat. Instead damage is determined by weapon type, range, amount of cover, protective gear and other modifiers. Targets have the opportunity to dodge a shot completely or reduce damage if their "awareness" (essentially this game's version of mana) is high enough. Thus a player always knows how effective their attack will be, and strategy plays a far more important role than luck.

If you're unlucky, you could spawn in a corner of the galaxy where all the nearby habitable panets are the wrong climate type for your species, and your immediate neighbor is a Fanatical Purifier or Determined Exterminator empire whose first order of business is going to be annihilating you. If you're really unlucky, you could spawn out of range from the closest system until you research more advanced jump drive engines (pre-2.0), or in a hyperlane chokepoint blocked by a leviathan, a Marauder empire, or worse. Instead of a conventional Tech Tree, your research options are drawn like cards from a deck of possibilities, so whatever hand you're dealt might be a game-changer, for better or for worse - you might get a head start on terraforming, or your scientists might consistently fail to come up with larger ship designs, leaving all your rivals to surpass you in the galactic arms race.

Need an I-piece for that Tetris you just set up? Too bad! Supposedly Alexey Pajitnov himself has experienced this feeling, despite being the game's creator. Later games often tailor the RNG to be more fair to the player: Tetris: The Grand Master uses randomizers that bias against dealing repeats (they can still happen, just not as much), and the current Tetris Guideline mandates that the randomizer deal permutations of the 7 tetrominoes (i.e. after 7 pieces, all piece types will have been dealt once, after 14 pieces they've all been dealt twice, etc.).

Random Number God / int_e5de447c	comment	One of the most popular examples is X-COM, to the point that a long recurrent joke in answer to incredibly unlucky situation says "that's X-Com, baby!". For example, in the 2012 remake, how many people thought that their soldier would never miss that 95% chance to hit an enemy, only to be disappointed a second later? Well, that's X-Com, baby! Just like when your heart is almost fainting because you win with your last soldier who, in a desperate attempt, managed to kill that sectopod by landing a 5% chance of critical in addition to a 5% mere chance to hit. That's X-Com, baby! And in the original 1995 game you would never think that, once stepping out from the Skyranger, you are greeted by a reaction shot with a blaster launcher from an alien that randomly spawned where you landed, right? Well, that's X-Com, baby! In addition to accuracy rolls, all weapons and explosives do a random amount of damage. A lucky soldier can survive multiple bursts from heavy weapons, whereas an unlucky one dies from an ally's missed shot. For a comprehensive, heartburn-inducing list, there is even a Murphy's Laws of X-COM. In the remake XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Abduction, UFO and Terror site appearances are all controlled by separate number gods. While it is extremely rare, it is possible to have to face mission after mission immediately, with no chance to rest in between. For example, an abduction warning followed by a UFO followed by a Terror site followed by another abduction. This can happen regardless of the difficulty level. The same remake downplays the trope at Normal difficulty, as chances are stealthly rigged in player's favor (that is if the user interface says that you have 50% chance to hit actually it's more than that), and other invisible modifiers are applied such as a one-turn bonus to aim if your soldier missed the last shot, or enemies getting lower accuracy if your squaddies are killed. This influences your perception of rolls and chances, as you unknowningly get used to be biased in your favor when you see percentages, even starting to assume things like in the Gambler's Fallacy because you get more favorable rolls than you should. When you jump to Classic difficulty, these modifiers are removed, so the numbers you see are true, and you will noticeably start to scream at rnjesus. Then comes XCOM 2, and you can see things like your whole squad missing ridiculously easy overwatch shots when that gigantic berserker queen showed... only to kill it in one shot thanks to the 5% chance of an ''execution shot'' triggering indeed.

Considering that the whole setting is based on tabletop gaming played between 'Truth' and 'Illusion', everything should be decided by chance... but GS is too meticulous to leave anything to chance. While In-Universe, he's not much more significant than a Non-Player Character, what he does have are deep insight, creativity and Crazy-Prepared antics, so much that he always comes in prepared with multiple contingencies that could turn the table in one fell swoop. At one point, the whole thing is illustrated by a figurine representing him kicking over a bad die roll, defying and changing the original result. It does bear mentioning that it's also in his best interests for him to never, ever leave things up to chance — as true to the trope, whenever he actually ends up in the dice's clutches, he tends to have shit luck.

Random Number God / int_f120845f	comment	This concept is taken to extremes in Kingdom of Loathing, where the RNG is a conscious entity that has its own account and frequents the various chat rooms. Those who please the RNG in some way may find themselves "Blessed by the RNG", whereas those who annoy it (especially by begging for a blessing) may find themselves "Cursed by the RNG" (both of which are active character effects). Because KoL game mechanics rely heavily on random number generation, and because KoL effects are rarely explicitly defined, there is still a significant debate over whether or not the Blessing and/or Curse actually affect a player's RNG-based "luck" in the game, or if it's just a red herring. A player may also be "Blessed by The RNG" by sending a gift package with an 8-ball, and a look in The RNG's display case may reveal other effective sacrifices. One particular area that makes players rage to the RNG: the F'c'le. In order to earn Pirate Fledges and be able to access the Obligatory Pirate Cove without wearing fairly weak equipment (the Fledges themselves are actually pretty strong), you must defeat three specific enemy types in this area, pick up their random drops, and use them. Every KoL player can regale you with stories of spending hundreds of adventures praying for the right enemy to show up, or, alternatively, having all three enemies show up in turn and give up their items in a row. The RNG in the F'c'le is an extremely fickle godling, and no one can predict its mood on a given day.

Random Number God / int_f41d2302	comment	One of the main cons in Dragon Ball Xenoverse: Everything that is not the storyline is virtually dictated by the RNG, from the skills you want, to the clothes you wear and even the mentor you want and it even extends to the missions themselves. All missions have bonus objectives that have you fight more or the same enemy twice after clearing the mission quick enough, but even activating the bonus parts is controlled by RNG. That's right, you can literally curbstomp everyone around you with having lost any of your teammates, and you still will not get the bonus objective, despite fulfilling it. Even worse is when you're trying to get certain items or skills to drop and they simply refuse to, no matter how hard you try. The first game was eventually patched to increase RNG odds of both the bonus objective appearing and drop rates, though it was still obnoxious without a doubt. The second game fixed the bonus objective problem by having it always, without fail, occur so long as the conditions were fulfilled. But the RNG still remains to taunt and flaunt your much-desired drops infront of your face, especially if it just gives you the shoes or hands part of a costume you really want. And if a drop you're aiming for is in a Expert Mission, expect much agony as you either keep doing drawn-out boss fights just to get what you want, or keep restarting them because the boss teleported out of the arena and can't get back in, or killed your entire party unavoidably by spamming Gigantic Ki blasts.

With a significant number of cards having RNG-based effects, many streamers actually ''pray'' to RNGesus when they need a random effect to go the way they need. The community would then christened the Old God Yogg'Saron as the game's RNGesus, whose card in Whispers of the Old Gods would be the most infamous RNG-based effect in the game, where he casts a completely random spell for each spell the player cast in the game. What everyone thought would be a fun but unreliable card ended up deciding the outcome of professional tournaments matches from anywhere between of securing the player a win or completely throwing it. His legacy continues to live on and any time he's reintroduced to the game, they would make sure they come with something very heavily RNG-related to go with him. Praise Yogg!

Random Number God / int_f7c70e0c	comment	Additionally, a handful of characters have at least one move where random chance can play a large factor. The most notable examples are Luigi, whose "Green Missile" attack has a roughly 1/8 chance of travelling way further than usual and dealing massive knockback; Mr. Game & Watch, whose "Judge" attack yields one of nine random effects which range in usefulness from damaging yourself to One-Hit KO; and The Hero, whose "Command Selection" randomly picks four moves out of a pool of 21 and sorts them into an RPG-style menu, which the player may select one move from... in addition to having random Critical Hits on his smash attacks.

Even when the numbers look favorable, it's up to Lady Luck if that 90% Steal nabs that Forbidden Blade or ruins your town reputation.

Random Number God / int_f858847a	comment	The RNG is also what determines a PokÃ©mon's ability, nature, IVs, and by extent, shininess.Note Shininess is determined by IVs in Generation II, while starting from Generation III it is determined by a complex calculation revolving around the original trainer's ID number, the current trainer's secret ID number (a hidden serial code used to ensure that no two save files are treated alike, as OT ID numbers are able to be identical between trainers), and the PokÃ©mon's personality value (which determines its gender and ability; in Generations III and IV, it also determined its nature). Because of how diverse the range is for all of these (excluding abilities, which are limited to two at most [apart from hidden abilities]), it is very difficult to get a perfect PokÃ©mon for your party. For instance, it is very likely that the shiny PokÃ©mon you just encountered has poor enough stats to serve as nothing more than a trophy, or that PokÃ©mon you found with the ability you want is severely crippled by its IV-altering nature. Conversely, it is possible for a good ability to perfectly compensate for a bad nature, and a shiny PokÃ©mon could be just enough to carry you a long way as a trainer. The fact that Generation VI now includes Super Training and PokÃ©mon Amie, two surefire ways to efficiently EV train your party to Game-Breaker status helps alleviate some of the RNG's flaws. Gen VII introduces Hyper Training, which can increase a Level 100 Pokemon's stats to their possible maximumnote It doesn't actually change the Pokemon's IV itself but "flags" it so that the stat is "simulated" as a maximum IV. This and the Ability Capsule (an item that can change the non-hidden ability of a Pokemon with 2 possible abilities) meant that the only thing one needs to worry about when it comes to making a competitive monster is its nature and possibly if it has its regular ability(s) or its hidden ability. Then Gen VIII introduced Mints, which let you change your PokÃ©mon's nature.note Like Hyper Training, it just "flags" it to simulate the new nature, so the new nature won't be passed down via breeding, prefered healing berry flavors will remain the same, etc., eliminating the former problem. The Crown Tundra DLC introduces an item known as an Ability Patch, which can change a PokÃ©mon's ability to its hidden ability, but not vice versa, eliminating the later problem.

Random Number God / int_fa5e90fd	comment	City of Heroes plays with this a bit: it intentionally has a weighted RNG, as per Word of God. A slight bias is introduced with every sequential hit or miss, intended to keep players and mobs from getting a run of, say, 10 whiffs in a row, because that wouldn't be any fun. Of course, as any player can tell you, that won't stop your nuke from missing whenever you really need it to connect.

Random Number God / int_fe4e78cd	comment	Dwarf Fortress procedural generation randomizes a lot of things from personalities to the very creatures, but the weights and things randomized usually don't push the game especially hard in one way or another. But there's other areas where the RNG cut especially loose, and that's where the pain start. It already shows in things like Werecreature types (Werelephants are not unheard of), but it manifests especially intensely when it comes to Titans, Forgotten Beasts and Demons: Everything about them is randomized, down to their special attacks. A merciful RNG will throw things like giant lizards made of blood that fall apart instantly when touched and "merely" breathe fire or poison/gas that just gives you a fever. One that merely dislikes you will throw giant creatures with dust (which lingers and keeps infecting) that spread deadly diseases that cause massive hemorrhages. If it hates you, get ready for giant flying animals made of rock, or Armok help you, limbless blobs made of metal (including steel) with dust that rots you alive even if you survive the initial nightmare. With these creatures, you can get anything, so all you can do is prepare for the worst.

Random Number God / int_fe85bfc8	comment	Super Smash Bros.: Throughout the series, items appearing at random times and from random places have caused a lot of resentment and frustration, such that nearly all tournaments, official or not, turn them off. Among high-level players, or at least players for whom Smash Bros. is Serious Business, they loathe the random nature of the items so much that most Smash Bros. Game Mods leave items completely untouched, even if the mods might cause them to crash (Brawl Minus is the only high-profile exception), under the assumption that everyone who will play with these mods will never play with items to begin with. Additionally, a handful of characters have at least one move where random chance can play a large factor. The most notable examples are Luigi, whose "Green Missile" attack has a roughly 1/8 chance of travelling way further than usual and dealing massive knockback; Mr. Game & Watch, whose "Judge" attack yields one of nine random effects which range in usefulness from damaging yourself to One-Hit KO; and The Hero, whose "Command Selection" randomly picks four moves out of a pool of 21 and sorts them into an RPG-style menu, which the player may select one move from... in addition to having random Critical Hits on his smash attacks.
