I was feeling despondent in the early game and started spreadsheeting my 
rolls.  No differentiation for one roll or multiple roll requests but with 
59 recorded rolls I have an average of 3.42.  My most common result has 
been 1 with 13 instances but my next most common numbers are 4 and 6 with 
12 and 10 instances.  So I've had no indications that the roller is at fault.
