[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8092527, member: 7006"] Whether I roll out in the open (when we're all at a table obviously) usually depends on whether I'm standing up at the time. I have a low DM screen so if we're having a fight that involves minis and the grid I usually will be standing up in order to be able to reach the board. When I'm doing that, usually I'll be rolling out in the open since I'm already leaning over the screen. But if a combat is being run Theater of the Mind or it's an exploration or social pillar set of rolls (where no grid/minis are used)... then I'll usually roll behind the screen while I'm sitting down. Both of these situations are fungible however, if I feel the drama can be enhanced by going the opposite way. I run with a set rotating crew of players that I've played with for years and they all know how I run the game. Thus there are no trust issues to determine the need to roll / not roll in the open, or fudge / not fudge the dice. I do whatever I think is in the best interest of the game and the players go with it and enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
