In the past when I have made overtures to talk shop (as a fellow GM) with people running some of the games I have been a player in there has been (usually) I have had a hard time getting the GM to even be willing to open up. Getting to that place where speaking to my concerns was worth the social cost was a challenge I often would choose not to take on. Instead, I would usually just pull back on how much I would invest and engage with the game or just start engaging more with other hobbies.In general, I think there is a strong undercurrent of go along to get along in our hobby. Often issues like fudging might only matter to one or two people in a 5-7 player group. Even if you are not the only one you feel like the only one because we just do not talk about this stuff on a regular basis. So, you do not speak up because you do not want to be critical of your friends or get shot down. When I was younger this was a constant part of my gaming experience.</blockquote>
