For something like rolling for a random guard encounter, or rolling randomly for details about the guard, unless the latter involves rolling on a table the players can see, I would just roll in the open but not let them see the table. The reason I like to roll in the open usually is to build trust. It also keeps you honest as a GM. And I like 'let the dice fall where they may' (which I think works best with out in the open rolls)</p></blockquote><p></p>
