No wonder your players feel bad about missing stuff and think they need to be perfect. You're pointing out every mistake they make.Players: "What did we miss?"DM: "You guys missed so much stuff. Here's a list of the 30 things you completely skipped."Damn. Maybe don't do that.You're not "concealing game mechanics" by not revealing DCs or things they miss. The game mechanics are: roll 1d20 + relevant ability modifier + misc modifiers. The players already know that."If you'd only rolled a 15 instead of a 12, you'd have found another 1000gp..."That's rubbing the players' noses in their failure. Just a suggestion, but maybe stop doing that.</blockquote>
