Description Crit Happens
You approach the orc, ready to take him down and plunder the treasure he guards. Confident in your move, you roll the dice... and lose your grip on your weapon as you swing. It slips out of your hand and sails a few meters away. You dive for it before the orc can hit you, but you stumble awkwardly, hit your jaw on the ground, and bite off a large chunk of your tongue. Hmm... that didn't quite go as planned.
Sometimes even the simplest actions can go massively wrong.
But it might also be that you're not one of those players who, at the sight of a 1 on the dice, remember their worst injuries and most embarrassing accidents, but rather epic streaks of luck or attacks.
No matter which pen-and-paper role-playing game you prefer, one motto unites them all, whether it's failure or hit: Crit happens.
