It turns out that D&D and the best tabletop RPGs cannot be held back by something so trifling as gravity, because an astronaut just showed off how to roll d20 dice in space.
While in orbit around Earth's poles, astronaut and card-carrying tabletop fan Rebea Rogge solved one of science's great mysteries - how to roll for an ability check in zero-g. Because seriously, how are you meant to roll Initiative against troublesome goblins when your D&D dice float off around the cabin in a shower of polyhedral chaos? Turns out the answer is pretty simple; spin the d20 upward (or downward, or sideways, I suppose), catch it, and see which number is visible between your fingers and thumb. That's your result.
