[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6804118, member: 6701872"] If you think that there is literally no chance a player is aware that you are fudging, you are delusional. You are a very interesting person. You claim everyone thinks they are the exception to the rule, and then insist that you are the exception - while I think it is more likely that you have just been lucky enough to have players that, when they did figure it out, were able to continue trusting you have good intentions despite your deception. No, I don't know your players... and I never said I did. As for a DM not being able to guarantee increased fun, I fully agree - which is why I advocate getting input from players (i.e. "It looks like you aren't having much fun right now, would you rather we move forward to the next thing?), rather than assuming I am correct at any given moment what will be enjoyable and to what degree if numerous things would be enjoyable in that situation. I mean, your friends may be different, but my experience is that people in general even have times when they aren't in the mood for what they consider their favorite thing (like when my buddy Nick doesn't feel like playing a fighting video-game, or when my wife doesn't want to eat sushi, or the rare case when I don't want to gather friends around the table and play an RPG). So that's why your "I'm certain that it does," sounds like self-deception to me. [/QUOTE]
