[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 7305346, member: 30438"] As the title would suggest, I have a player fudging their dice rolls at my AL-ish open table. And I finally called him out on it officially last night. He had taken to shielding his dice with his hand when he rolls, which is generally a sign of cheating in and of itself. But I’d seen several single digit rolls turn into over-20s over the past few months. I’d given a few gentle warnings prior, but last night was the final straw. I calmly told him that what he was doing was not fair to me or the other players, and that I needed to be able to trust my players. I told him he was welcome at the table, but that I needed to know that we’re square here. He took this as well as anyone called out on their cheating would, and better than many. But I still feel a bit off on it. You see, he’s got some physical (including visual - he uses oversized dice, which made the cheating even more incomprehensible) and likely mental disabilities. The hiding the dice part was what convinced me to say something – that showed me that he knew what he was doing was wrong. And yet, I still feel a little guilty calling him out on it. A cheater at the table isn’t anything new in the world, but I guess I’m looking for people’s thoughts on this. Have any of you been in a similar situation? [/QUOTE]
