The way randomness works means that strings of really good luck and strings of really bad luck are going to happen. People tend to notice the really bad luck more. Human intuition seems to think randomness will play out more like a deck of cards: when a number is "rolled" it is "used up" and less likely to happen again. This is the gambler's fallacy and a lot of players can get frustrated by it.
The idea behind this rule is simple. Replace your d20s with a deck of cards, removing face cards. When you would roll a d20, instead you draw a card from the deck. Black cards (spades or clubs) are worth +10 (so ace of spades = 11, 10 of clubs = 20, etc.). When the deck is empty, shuffle the cards and start again.
