Not MTV, but possibly Marvel Comics: Although there are other possible inspirations, as mentioned here.

I've done one of two things in the past (although, both methods were for in-person gaming): Have the player roll their dice in a tray or other container where they can't see the results. At the beginning of a session, have players roll a bunch of results in advance (e.g. d20s in D&D). The GM...

I... really don't understand what you're saying here. The spell save DC is located directly below the spot you place spell cards on the character board: When you say that you thought the save DC "would have been located more towards where the spell cards and spells were, or even at least on or...

If someone wants to get their hands on my precious stones, they're going to have to take me to dinner first. I'll see myself out...
