[QUOTE="The Shadow, post: 8959211, member: 16760"] Sorry, what? I'm not angry at all. But if I were, this would be an extremely unhelpful and unconstructive remark. It has nothing to do with any kind of triggering. I'm telling you, and others are telling you, that your assessment is [I]objectively false.[/I] Nothing even slightly resembling that happens in any game I've ever been in since grade school. You keep asserting this, and we keep telling you it isn't so. Not because it's insulting, but because it isn't so. You know what is starting to be a bit insulting? You implicitly accusing people of either lying or being deeply mistaken about their own games, which you know nothing about! Once again, you miss the point. I'm telling you as a simple fact what happens at my table, and you think I'm taking it as an accusation. Fudging the dice makes no sense in Fate! We [I]want[/I] the variations and twists they provide. In every single post you make on this topic. How nice of you to tell me what I'm missing. Here's what you're missing: Everything you're saying about story games is wrong. You're assuming we're playing a D&D dungeon crawl badly, when we aren't even trying to do that at all. I'm posting in the hope that you will eventually say something actually constructive to the conversation; or failing that, to head off other people from the same mistakes. [/QUOTE]
