    Keeping the players from looking around the screen

    roll in the open. don't tell them what the total modified score is. do it for nothing at all. ask for rolls that mean nothing. if they want to look. let them but it doesn't mean they are looking at the thing you want. use bait and switch.

    Question for the Old Schoolers

    [forked thread] What constitutes an edition war?

    the thread in question has the potential to be an edition war. any poster can post any picture they want to the thread. the intent behind their post can be misinterpreted or can be deliberately offensive. it takes others to keep it in line by reporting what they find offensive to the mods.
