I think he’s a jerk, and I find many of his expressed views pretty repugnant, but I have found much of his DMing advice to be very useful.I agree. Has anyone made such a statement?I also prefer a mix. As I mentioned in my earlier post in the thread, my preference is that the active party always rolls, whether that be GM or PC - with the caveat that in some cases there’s a lot of room for interpretation on who is the active party.* But that’s just my own preference. Players always roll and GM always roll are equally valid ways to run the game if that’s what one prefers.*To me the NPC telling the lie is the active party, to you the PC trying to catch the NPC in a lie might be the active party. To me the wizard just drops a fireball on an area and the creatures in the area have to actively try to get out of the way, to some the wizard might need to actively try to aim the spell and the creatures in the area might use a passive defense. I think all of these are valid interpretations, which is part of why D&D needs a human being running the show, making those judgment calls.</blockquote>
