[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 6129568, member: 18701"] I've never been questioned about fudging dice. Maybe I'm good at not being obvious about it? I don't know how my players feel about it. I've never had a conversation about it with any player during my time. Nobody seems to mind what I'm doing, so I guess they don't care. I'm not sure about social contracts. I guess I've had 1 or 2 players blow up at me when they'd come into an existing game with some sort of expectation and then find out after joining that things don't work like that when I DM. In these instances, I never debriefed them on my DMing style and what I find acceptable in-game. So the surprise may have irritated them. Then again, I have a feeling these players would have found something else to blow up at me about even if I did give them the run down. I would assume that any players that react negatively to any spoken or unspoken social contract are usually the drama queens that are always problem players in any group. I think it is less about the social contract and more about the person being a problem player to begin with. [/QUOTE]
