[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8596249, member: 7026617"] Okay, let me lay it out as a choice set. Some event comes up in the game (the one I particularly focus on is that, for whatever reason, I've put out an encounter that is significantly more dangerous for characters at their current capability than intended; maybe I'm new to a given incarnation of a game, maybe I made a bad assumption about what tools were available to the PCs, whatever). Its obvious they're going to lose people, lose a fight they can't afford to, or worse. The situation is pretty clearly my fault to me. This seems to have three possible outcomes: A. I let the chips fall where they may. B. I tell people I messed up, and back up to a point where I can correct the error already in play. C. I fudge. Either B or C seems better than A to me; to you, B is undesirable, to others in this thread C is. Both you and they feel strongly. Is there something other than personal preference that makes your take on this more appropriate than theirs? [/QUOTE]
