[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 6125048, member: 57914"] I'm now going to shock and awe folks and agree with you. My way of DMing/Playing does indeed ruin our fun from time to time. I will go further and say that I do see why others play differently and even point out that at times I am sorely tempted to dip into that play style. Having the dice turn a otherwise awesome game into bloody chum sucks Wereshark arse. I fault you and others not one bit for fudging things from time to time. I just have found that for us,when taking the long road or big picture that we have more fun letting the dice fall and dealing with it. I can think of PLENTY times where taking the fudging path was heavily discussed. Each time we decided against it. Said out farewells to a character or whole campaign and broke out the dice to roll up new guys. I will tell you that we all find that it adds something special to a game/characters and campaign when it does work out. When it all falls into place there is nothing like it. Even when it all goes down into chum it sometimes gives us stories to talk about for years and years. [/QUOTE]
