[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 8940500, member: 48965"] I may have to think more on this but right away 2 things jump out at me... I think that it requires a DM to either get honest feedback before the game starts on what his players do or don't like and/or be able to figure that out for himself... I play with 2 long running groups so I this may be easier for me than say a DM running with strangers for the first time (though I'd probably just ask them what style they preferred in that situation) Another tradeoff is that I'm judging one more impartially than the other so there is a chance of my biases (for good or ill) affecting the judgement based resolution more. To try and minimize this I try to base this around traits, motivations and goals of the NPC or monster vs whether I personally think it was "good!" Roleplaying... but there is always the chance of bias slipping in. Edit: I'd actually be interested in what you think some tradeoffs in the approach I outlined are as I've never really analyzed it... just found it worked for me. [/QUOTE]
