    I feel like I watched an episode of Talks or something where Matt talked about the Snitch having been stolen, and how he imagines that some day Tal will hear his doorbell ring and when he goes to answer it it will be the snitch returning to its master.

    “We can hope that to this day the thief rolls naught but ones!”
    May this curse be upon all thieves who dare.
    And if this curse fails to find you, may one of the Glitter Bombs do what the curse could not!

    There is now a relic containing a fragment of the luck of an Elder Being being passed around, from hand to hand. One day it shall return to him, carrying with it the misfortune of all its bearers, and with this energy, he shall defeat The Wheaton, god of misfortune, and consume yet another divines power!

    First of all, that poem at the end there was great! Second, I hope that The Snitch is found again at some point. While I doubt it will, magical objects like that have a funny way of defying what people think will happen.

    Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the snitch was accidentally weighted [like something in the making of it]. And Talisen gave the die to Matt after the first campaign to balance it all out. Plus it makes things interesting.

    It's not weighted.... We tested it and it was 50/50...
