I don't have the 5.5e PHB. The 5e PHB rules are just as applicable thanks to backwards compatibility and the option to choose which...

Oh, no. I haven't actually read anything in this thread for a while. Just wanted to get something off my chest. :p

Ok. I already accepted that advantage/disadvantage satisfies my definition of sim. What happens when you don't have either though...

No, they do not. Your "DC" in GURPS is 100% based on YOUR SKILL. It is not based on the task. The task might modify things, but, it...

Like, all your d20s are brown or all your d20s are Pantone 17-1230, Mocha Mousse (it's the Color of the Year, I guess)? Edit: added...

Where in that definition does it say ANYTHING about the process? It only talks about resolutions. I totally agree D&D gives you the...

Really? You think that the notion of simulation doesn't include any idea that how a result was determined should be part of a...

Ok, yes, I know I'm being annoying. But, I'm keeping my idiocy confined to one thread, I'm not spreading it anywhere and it's just...

Sorry, but, I don't find, "Make anything up after the fact" to be a particularly useful definition of simulation. 🤷

Again, though, it's not 100% certainty we're looking for. That's the red herring you guys have added to the conversation. That any...

Oh, wait a minute. I was told in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that the d20 ONLY represents skill. No luck at all. So, now, which is it?
