[QUOTE="Numidius, post: 7567494, member: 6972053"] Thanks for the detailed response. Traveller is one of those games we had bought in the 80's but never really played back then. Re: Say Yes or Roll Seems like there a basic misunderstandig. To me SYOR regards only action declaration by players in the present situation, and in case the Gm does not agree, the table resorts to dice rolling to resolve it. Nothing to do with creating new fiction, new content, outside the range of Pc actions. Infact if a game does not have a resolution system for content creation/narrative authority etc, which dice is one supposed to roll if doesn't say yes? I don't get it. So regarding OD&D, I mean Say Yes, in a typical encounter, after the situation is introduced by the Dm, the Pcs declare they don't want to enter combat and propose a different plan, the Dm can say yes or let them roll = resolve the encounter via combat. Simple as that; and since PX were gained via Gold and not number of encounters cleared like today, combat was a sort of last resort. I hope I could explain myself properly :) [/QUOTE]
