[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8481321, member: 7025508"] This really isn't that hard. The GM is the one who decides whether there is uncertainty to warrant a roll and they decide what the stakes of the roll are. Some vague generic waffling about what roleplaying is doesn't change that. I understand that some people think that they have cracked the secret code of the holy text and found the one true meaning of the rules. But the reality the rules are intentionally malleable and they're just using their preferred approach just like the rest of us. But of course once you attach your forum identity to being the prophet of the one true reading and everyone else's being house rules, it becomes rather hard to back down from that... 🤷 We had this same song and dance in the trap thread a while a go, and showing that the examples given the rules didn't match the pixel-hunty level of detail required by some didn't make them back down from insisting that their reading was the only correct one.
