| Jun 13, 2022 at 23:00 | comment | added | minnmass | I've the "should you even roll for this" well-condensed by Angry GM (great blog; content warning: lots of grawlix swearing and exaggerated superiority) as, basically "roll when there's a possibility of success, a possibility of failure, and a cost for failure". | |

Yelling "Hey!" is easy, but yelling, "Hey! The town guards are on to our plan, so don't screw with the Dwarf. Come back to the inn and we'll regroup!" takes practice. | |
