Never thought to be THAT harsh. Man you must REALLY hate cheating.
Cheaters never prosper in my games; there is no need really. I’ll sometimes fudge dice “behind the screen” but don’t try to put one over on me, especially when some players take their lumps stoically. That is unfair IMO.

I've never had a problem with cheaters...so um...if I did, I guess I'd go straight to the Vlad the Impaler style of diplaying their heads out along my driveway for the dramatic effect.
I think I once mentioned this to a player a year or so back, so they know. They fear. They won't cheat. (Or at least, will do their best to not get caught

I play with a group I would not expect to find cheating in - ever. If they felt the need to cheat at some point - I porobably would ignore it. If it continued and it began to bother the players or me I would have a sit down with them.
I used to have a player in my WFRP campaign who snatched dice. It used to annoy me and then I realized he announced a miss or failure every time he did it.

Hey, severed head on a stick by the driveway, with dice glued to forehead!
Sounds like a good compromise between dice glueing and bodily harm to me.

I am SICK AND TIRED of ALL of YOU who had players WHO NEVER CHEATED! you have offend my honor my well being and my sense of fair play. Please each of you box up one of your excess players and ship them to me..
Ok back in the old days when I was addicted to D&D and allow bad players to play. I would talk to the player and then if they cheated my monsters cheated too. Some times it help most of the time the fact flew over the goobers head. Now days I will check dice rolls. In fact my group discovered one person who we thought was cheating when the things got bad was't. Didn't matter whether she rolled in a bowl, on table, carpet etc all she had to do hold the die a few minutes and she rolled what she need even using my dice after she warmed up.
Now days we trust but occasionally verify. Cheaters are generally shamed into behaving.
