* YouCanPanicNow: Steve's introductory speech to the HMRC convicts of the first mission ends with a "You may start screaming now".
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dark grey in Bishop's case, white in Empyrea and Victor's case. Faith's red hair may qualify as well.

** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] during the fourth mission, in which a good intelligence roll reveals to one of the characters that a wounded inmate did not, in fact, [[ItMakesSenseInContext have brain worms]], and that the whole affair was instead caused
by some kind of confusion that happens to her "roughly 1/6th of the time" she uses her brain. The die used is a six-sided one.

* ArmorIsUseless: Completely averted. Armour often means the difference between life and death.



* GargleBlaster: At least 3, Astro, Xeno Spit, and Moldavian Mind Rot. The last is so powerful that a single drop will incapacitate.



* ImprovisedArmor: One character made a suit of armour out of locker doors. It didn't help much.

Updating a little...


* EldritchAbomination: Possible [[spoiler: Grate after eating the manipulator-battery pill]].



* InfantImmortality: Played with. Grate remains fairly unscathed through his first mission, and through most of his second [[spoiler: before getting crushed by a manipulator overshot, then brought back to life with [[HandWave quantum.]][[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext ..something]]. Right after recovering from that, [[spoiler: he ingested [[ItMakesSenseInContext a pill made from a manipulator battery]], which caused chaos...]]



** When [[spoiler: Grate ate the manipulator-battery pill]].



* StopHelpingMe: Exceedingly common when it comes to medics. Mesk gained the nickname "The Kickboxing doctor" after trying to cure a drug overdose by kicking a teammate's ribcage in and Faith tried to fix a dislocated shoulder by simply yanking the other arm out of it's socket so they're even.

Added Arc Words: \"The flesh is weak.\" Fixed BFG, since Fission instigator doesn\'t fire nukes, it causes fission in the target area through space magic.


* ArcWords: "The flesh is weak." Phrase encountered a lot in universe and later taken up by the players as well.



* {{BFG}}: Many of the weapons qualify. The Fission Instigator fires a nuke and is so heavy that most people can only handle it with the assistance of PoweredArmor.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: The cast has been known to wrestle occasionally. At the end of the second mission, Jim and Elizas get into a wrestling match - although it's fair to say that while Jim is just sparring, Elisaz is actively trying to grope his non-existent naughty robot bits. For another example, May and Lukas spar by using a variety of wrestling moves upon each other.

Adequating \"Understatement\" to \"Ludicrous Gibs\" to avoid a sinkhole.


Einsteinian Roulette is a Roll To Dodge game on the Bay12 Forum that centers around the short lives and [[{{Understatement}} violent deaths]] of a group of inmates in the Hazardous Materials Requisition Corps or H.M.R.C. These inmates wake from stasis aboard the battleship "Paracelsus' Sword" and are immediately tasked by the omnipresent on-board computer Steve to complete ten incredibly dangerous missions to win their unconditional freedom. The missions usually take the form of retrieving various artifacts, investigating peculiar phenomena, or otherwise performing actions where traumatic amputation would be considered a favorable outcome.
