[QUOTE="prosfilaes, post: 5741706, member: 40166"] Again, I don't know what games you're thinking of when you're talking about cooperative games, but the games that come to my mind are Pandemic and Arkham Horror. And in neither case would I find fudging acceptable. If your opponent is a person who can agree to the fudging, that's one thing. (We had a lot of takebacks in Imperial tonight.) If your opponent is the game, well, you can fudge your way to victory and it will never complain, but where's the challenge in that? John Wick wrote a column for Pyramid Magazine about one of his greatest campaigns, the one where he had one PC in jail for several sessions on end. He said the player was really pumped when he was finally released. Or alternately you can just listen to the people here, who find that a game without that possibility is less fun then a game with, who would rather be knocked out once in a while rather then have battles where there's no chance of being knocked out.
