The heart is formed by a number of red icosahedorns, which are more commonly known in pop culture as “D-20s” or twenty sided die. A number of popular table top role playing games –particularly dungeons and dragons– feature this twenty sided dice as a mehcnaic to determine a player’s success within one of these games. Getting a “nat-20” or “natural twenty” means rolling the highest possible number on this dice without adding any modifier or bonus that a player may have. This is often treated as an automatic success within game and is celebrated by everyone playing due to its rarity and potency in the game. This piece equates falling in love to rolling a nat 20; it seeks to emphasize how love can often come down to being in the right place at the right time. If you’re lucky anyway.
