[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 9230964, member: 7025508"] So you have been a bit sceptical about the difference between conflict and task resolution. And one definition that has been offered is that in task resolution the success can be blocked by the secret myth. But if in conflict resolution the attempt can be blocked by secret myth before the roll is even made, is that really so different? After all, then we are just quibbling about the timing of the blocking. Personally I feel that the conflict resolution feels clearly most different from the task resolution when no such blocking is happening, when the conflict resolution roll can dictate the myth, like the safe opening success determining that the papers are there. Whether this is possible or not feels to me like a fundamental difference, timing of blocking due the myth not so much. But sure, the different ways of blocking will still result different feel and affect how the players approach the game, but those to me seem more like stylistic rather than substantive differences. Which is not to say that the merits of these different approaches are not worth pondering. [/QUOTE]
