Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ahnehnois" data-source="post: 6313043" data-attributes="member: 17106">I actually think that one of the least "biased" ways to determine the outcome of an open-ended situation is to roll a d%, look at the result, and ask "how does that make me feel?". Your interpretation of the dice is biased, but the dice themselves aren't.***As for preparation, I agree that this is one of the many purposes it serves, but I don't think it's realistic to chastise a DM who is unprepared for a situation. To some extent it may be attributable to the DM's lack of foresight, and to some extent the genuine unpredictability of the situation, but the bottom line is that stuff happens that you can't always be ready for, and you're going to have to fill in some blanks at the table, and the OP quote seems completely oblivious to this.</blockquote>
