That GMs cannot just be arbitrary tyrants throwing around whatever they feel like whenever they feel like. That they need to be consistent--that they need to respect legitimate rolls, not take away successes just because it's not compatible with what the GM wanted to happen if the GM agreed to let a roll happen, etc.People expect some degree of fairness, otherwise they're not going to continue participating. Few people want to spend their time being someone else's playthings.Nope. Not even close.But I don't expect to change your mind on this. I'm just registering that this assertion is not correct.</blockquote>
