[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8444108, member: 6779196"] The example was a rhetorical trap set up by Maxperson. He specifically asked, if there was a trap you needed to check the handle to find, and you declared that you slid your knife under the drawer, if that could result in finding the trap. Obviously the answer is no, as surely as the answer to “could you pick a lock with a sandwich?” would be no. If answering no to that question means my game is pixel-hunting, I don’t know what game with any semblance of internal consistency would not be pixel-hunting. If you want an example that might actually occur in a game of mine, read my reply to [USER=177]@Umbran[/USER] ’s request for such an example. I’ve pointed it out like three times now, and it continues to go completely unacknowledged, seemingly because it doesn’t suit the narrative that my game is pixel-hunting. More importantly though, there are perfectly valid, non-insulting ways to express that one doesn’t like the notion that I ask my players to state a goal and approach and that some approaches would result in failure without a roll.
