[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5261961, member: 80487"] There seems from my perspective to be some sort of "wainscot society", a vale of gaming tears somehow parallel to the world through which I move. I just don't encounter all this drama over referees considering situations and setting odds. What very little I have seen was from fellows who certainly were not satisfied by citation from a list of example situations (a la the 3.5 PHB). That just meant Plan B: Semantic Quibbles, and Plan C: Argument Over What Is "Realistic". Somehow it never occurs to them that it might be significant that they are [I]alone[/I] in their complaints. GMs stay in 'business' because their players approve of how they conduct their games. In my world, GMs are in it for the same reason as players: to have fun playing with friends! They are not out to be unfair. If the GM gets something significantly wrong, the players just say, "Hey, 'G.O.D.', did something change about thing x, because last time it was like such and so?" And the GM says, "D'oh! Right you are." [/QUOTE]
