[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7583984, member: 22779"] Just read that Angry DM blog you posted [MENTION=6921763]DM Dave1[/MENTION]. Needless to say, no, not interested. The first rule turned me off and the rest just went completely downhill from there. Fun read, but, unusually for me since I usually do agree with Angry, here I think he totally missed the mark. Locked door with something chasing? Players just tell me the skill they are using. End of story. Picks the lock or bashes down the door. No need to tell me how or what they are doing. Player Diplomacy's the guard and gets a 26? Fantastic, they get past the guard. When the player is throwing dice at a problem, the player is telling you that the player has zero interest in engaging your game element and just wants to move on. You can put as much lipstick on the pig that you like, but, at the end of the day, I prefer to listen to my players and move on to the stuff they actually want to do. [/QUOTE]
