wank-rolling

The out-of-game act of rolling dice to resolve the abilities of your RPG character in imagined hypothetical scenarios. Poor rolls are disregarded as “that wouldn’t” happen, while good rolls grant a fleeting feeling of success. The act inevitably leaves one tapped out and unsatisfied.

Also applies to “testing” your Smashammer Space Marine Captain vs. any number of Xenos elite units.
