[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6776411, member: 6701872"] I'd figured out other ways to avoid the situations in which the game comes to a halt if a die roll goes the wrong way before I'd ever heard the phrase "fail forward" or ever come to the conclusion on my own that a roll might be determining success without consequence vs. success with consequence, rather than success vs. consequence. As such, by the time I actually heard the phrase and came upon to corresponding idea behind it, I didn't have nearly as much use for it as I would have years prior - so I just tucked it away in my DM "tool belt" as a safety net to use whenever I haven't had the time to re-write poorly designed sections of published adventures (you know, those ones that are overall really cool ideas and fun scenarios, but the author thought it best to put anything actually important behind a secret door with no context clues to its location nor hints that it even exists, so to fail to find it on the first try is to fail to complete the adventure).
