I'm in fairly new D&D group, old-school, low key, lots of fun. Nobody younger than 30 except this one guy about 22. I guess you'd call him a Millennial? Some guys like me have played since the 1970s.
By the 5th session, I know this guy is cheating. Never misses a roll he needs to make. Rolls a 1, calls a 6 and snatches up the dice. Does stuff like this over and over. Does other objectionable stuff like constantly using player knowledge when his character doesn't know things, but this dice cheating was the most blatant.
I call him on it, of course he denies it, but I was able to make my case. He leaves mumbling obscenities. The rest of us play on.
Seems like a total Reverse Pascal to me (big risk, tiny payoff). Risk your reputation and game in order to...what? Always get initiative? Always hit? It's not like there were chips or money at stake here... and there's no "winning."
I'm not meaning to smear millennials, but it's hard not to think there's a matter of entitled youth at work here--or just having played too many computer "RPGs" that are not RPGs at all, where the goal is merely to level up and kill monsters. Does it take a computer to keep a game fair anymore? Come to think about it, when I used to play online games like WOW and Starcraft, there were always hackers ruining it for others.
Still SMH.
