@pemerton One area that Eero Tuovinen really fails to grasp at when it comes to simulation (and I think this has been a general...

this is the most ENWorld thread i've ever seen. i don't even know where the goalposts are anymore, they've moved so far

No, it's about what failure means for play. My players fail to get their full intent all the time. We had a crap ton of 6-s rolled last...
