[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8698104, member: 7025508"] This doesn't make sense to me, I don't understand what this means in practice. Please respond to the actual examples or make your own. GM describes that there is a room with a red and a green door. Please tell me what according to you are acceptable methods for the GM to decide what is behind the green door when a PC decides to open it. It is framing a situation, then deciding what happens once the players declare an action. The only 'lie' here is the pretence that the world is objective and real even though the GM is making it up. But everyone knows this to be true, even though they might not always be sure when and why the GM is making the stuff up. It absolutely covers it. How would it not? Is according to the rules of D&D the GM allowed to describe that there is a red and green door? Is according to the rules of D&D the GM allowed to decide what is behind the red and green doors? Answer to both is clearly "yes." That's all that is happening here. [/QUOTE]
