[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8594035, member: 7006"] Fudging is awesome. Because it is done to make the story better. To increase the tension. To install drama where there probably wasn't any. I do not care in any way, shape or form about WINNING THE BOARD GAME. None at all. I care about the narrative and the story. And the cooler it is and the more fun it is during play and after play... the better the game is to me. And before anyone asks... yes, all of us around the table COULD just "improvise a story" without all those pesky dice getting involved. I could do that and I have done that. But sometimes having those pesky dice are fun to have because they can change how the narrative progresses. They can throw curveballs into the narrative that otherwise might not have come up. Those curveballs can be [I]really[/I] cool. But then again, those curveballs can [B]also[/B] be very stupid, completely illogical, and a waste of time. And so if the DM tweaks things occasionally to remove some of those stupid parts... I think that is a fabulous idea and I wholeheartedly go along with it. Especially when none of us even know it's happening. [/QUOTE]
