Most DMs that fudge die rolls won't tell you, and that creates problems and mistrust. Like you say, it's all about getting people on the same page.Incidentally, "rules as guidelines" can mean completely different things: in a loose ruleset, the GM is supposed to make judgment calls to fill the gaps and prevent outcomes that make no sense. Saying that a GM should change things around to shape the narrative because "the rules are guidelines" is not really pertinent, in my opinion, because this matter is really about the style of the game and the social contract between the players.</blockquote>
