[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6647808, member: 2525"] It's really not, but OK, neither of those things would frustrate me much either. He's communicating his meaning, which is the purpose of language. You know what he means, even if he's not saying it as precisely as you prefer. Why is it a big enough deal for you to continue to bother to argue it? Or third choice, neither delusional or lying, just a colloquialism you're not appreciating? Why the heck are you jumping to "delusional or lying" conclusions over something as silly as that? It's highly personally insulting to the guy, and totally unnecessary for this topic. And when someone comes to your house and tries to force you to play a way you don't like to play, then the vitriolic tone of your responses will make sense. But all he did is describe how he does it - he didn't even advocate for you to do it that way in any way. Right now, all it looks like to me is you're telling him he's playing D&D in a bad and wrong way, even though apparently he and his players are all having fun at it, and even though many people play it just like he does (hiding both the perception and hide rolls behind the DM screen, and rolling dice to decide the outcome).
