The idea of rolling distances and whether or not who is surprising who. All those kind of things and using the dice to help determine that I think could be really cool. Sometimes that are, it's not cool. Sometimes you end up having a whole bunch of sloggy fights right in a row because you rolled a certain way. That would kind of suck, right? And now no one's having fun. You're not having fun.

The players aren't having fun. And that's where you might want to fudge. So that doesn't count. Why would you fudge is a good question. And I have some thoughts about this, and I'm sure you have some thoughts. And these are just my ideas. I'm not saying this is the way it is. You get to decide what makes sense for you. But I'm going to offer my own thoughts on it. Why fudge?

To change the fun and the pacing of the game is one reason why you would fudge. To keep things moving along, to move the game forward is a reason to fudge. And to help the mechanics of the game meet the story of the game. Sometimes the mechanics slip away from the story or the way things ought to be in the world because the mechanics are weird. And in that case, you might want to fudge.

Those are some reasons why I think it's okay. When would you not... want to fudge? What are some things where you don't want to fudge? And I would say you don't want to fudge to remove agency from a character or player. This is that idea of, oh, this monster's immune to all of your BS, right? Why? Because I say so. Because I don't want my boss to get hit by all your BS. That's not great.

You shouldn't fudge when you're mad. Just because something happened and you don't like it, you're fudging. And you shouldn't fudge because you can't. Right. Fudging is not something that you should just do. You should have a good reason for doing it. I would also say that fudging in order to force the characters down a particular path is not great either.

If you have an idea for the way the story is going to go and it's not going that way and you're fudging to keep making sure it goes that way, that's probably not great. You probably also have a bigger problem than the fact that you're fudging. You probably also have the problem that you overprepped down one path and that now you're kind of forcing everything down that one path.

So those I would say are not areas where fudging is great. So where do you fudge? Where can you change things? Well, there's a few different places. What does success or failure look like on an ability check? is an area where you can fudge. This isn't something that we think about commonly. But you get to decide what success and failure looks like.
