First off, I don't really care what a poster said in 2018 about something. Largely because the context of such remarks matters a great deal. Here, he seemed to be expressing frustration with someone he felt was twisting his words, so he says he does the same in return (not ideal behavior, but not a consistent policy of twisting words whenever he disagrees with someone). Second, we are just talking about fudging and how acceptable it is within the rules. There is the notion of rule zero, and most groups I've gamed with, pretty much regardless of what they are playing, would say this sort of thing is a fair GM power. Not everyone likes fudging, but most of the people I've gamed with wouldn't say a GM who does it is cheating (though a player fudging they certainly would). I get there is a sharp divide here over what powers the GM ought to have. But this isn't that uncommon of an idea. If you guys are trying to advocate for games where the GM has less power or power is distributed differently, I think you'd get a long further along if you didn't use these kinds of tactics (again, just want to point out, this whole thread was started by someone who singled out one of my posts, basically to humiliate me----that seems a pretty prevalent attitude among this crowd of posters).</p></blockquote><p></p>
