No, really, I wonder if it's just probability? You know, like if you toss a coin 800 times, it's likely to have a number of runs of heads, or tails. You might be that one unluck sob out of the thousands playing who's getting the unlucky streak?

But, I still notice that sometimes a base can just be toast before I've even had the chance to buy a lousy tech or hotwire....
sometimes the deck seems stacked.
It's when it's stacked in your favor that it can be a real blast!
