[Rolls a success. I remove a "challenge token" to show they are making progress.]Player B: I want to use Hacking to infiltrate a computer system. [Rolls a failure. Thus, no progress is made.]Me: You plug-in to the network and try to hack the door, but you can't override the security clearance. Luckily, Player C is able to crawl into a nearby air duct, come around to the other side and open the door, allowing Players B and A to enter. Player C: But I already made my check!Me: I'm just explaining what it looked like when you succeeded and how to keep the narrative moving.Player B: Yeah, this doesn't make any sense. She went before I did.</blockquote>
