[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6630316, member: 6668292"] I loathe fudging, too. Well, that is your experience (and so I won't try to take it away from you). While I've had one of my best friends cheat (by fudging in-play) before, it was a short-lived problem. But he is a very close friend (I was the best man at his wedding, he calls me his older brother, I lived with his wife and son to help out while he was deployed, etc.), so it does happen even with close friends, I'll admit. Though it's funny. I think I might have more faith in my players than you do (in this area). If that is the case, that amuses me, because you're often said to (unfairly or not) paint the GM in a bad light compared to the players. I agree with this. (And as GM, I do roll in the open, too.) I actually trust my players not to do this. But that's not always the case, I guess. Right now, my main group is made up of good friends that I've known for 13-15 years each, as well as my older brother (who I've known my entire life, and who introduced me to gaming). However, when I do introduce players that are friends-of-friends, or are work friends, or the like, you're right, I do have them roll stats in front of me (when the game calls for rolled stats).
