(Psi)SeveredHead said:Players often love dice rolling; it gives them brief joy, longer lasting if they roll an 18. But it makes the campaign less fun for them.
I agree with this, up to a point. I think it only makes the campaign less fun if they get attached to their PCs, or if there is a big penalty for death.
In a meat-grinder dungeon, rolling for stats seems perfectly "balanced" and natural. Sure, you'll probably die, but so will the guy who rolled four 18s. (Eventually. )
