Because in my experience meta gaming like that is not an issue at 90% of all tables. And at the other 10% it’s just that one guy that causes an issue about trying to meta game their character out of consequences.
RPG Rules are not laws, so they are not written for the lowest common denominator, but for a group of well meaning, socially functioning, above room temperature IQ human persons with a base level of trust.
Not every table preference has to be mentioned in the rules to be legitimate. At my table, there are no secret rolls or checks that a PC makes without a reasonably clear concept of what the consequences of success and failure are. So a list of default stats that your GM can check would be a waste of time and book keeping. If your GM likes to use mystical rolls with undefined consequences and the percussion of hidden dice to increase tension, more power to them. But to me that seems a waste of everybodies time.
That’s not how colorblindness works.
The user you are replying to is saying that using color blind people as an example is a bad comparison.
Several things:
First: Of course there is GM immersion. The GM has to be able to “see” the world in his mind so he can describe it adequately to the players. Immersion is more than just “feeling like you’re there”. Nobody at the table thinks they are an actual high wizard or barbarian or sth. You can tell by how they are saying “I swing my axe” instead of actually swinging an axe. Immersion just means how coherent and complete their mental picture of the world and their characters place in it is (which comes with an empathetic connection with the character). The GM is doing the same thing to a lesser degree for many characters (all NPCs at the least, but also the PCs).
Second: Your workflow diagram is only describing the simplest case of “Straight roll with predefined modifiers” and omits the kind of important part of actually rolling the dice and doing math with them.
Third: You entirely neglect the fact rolling a die is often actually fun. Blowing on it. Pleading with the dice gods to give you a good result. Yelling “NAT 20!” or whispering “NAT 1” in dismay (or whatever your systems equivalent is). Putting a badly performing die in prison. Borrowing the lucky die from another player and negotiating lending fees. Rolling 15d6 to see how much damage your nuclear leveled fire ball actually does.
Ultimately, you should play how you and your table enjoy it. I wouldn’t want to play at a table where some players (the GM is a player too) don’t get to make any rolls or have to make all the rolls. You do you, but to me that sounds like a terrible time.
PS: During the pandemic my table switched to a VTT and I enabled automatic saving throws. I had to disable that feature because my players HATED “the computer” rolling for them. They insisted that they must be the ones to click on the “roll saving throw” button. If I tried to take their rolling during live gaming I would loose the table.
Your doubt here is based on what? She said she released them on purpose because right wing people were claiming that her offices investigations were unfounded. You can be angry at her for not prosecuting harder or for being part of the Israeli military or justice system or whatever.
But trying to find something wrong with the one time she definitely did the right thing is so weird to me.
Well but it’s not just the rolling is it? And it’s not just “a die”. Its ALL the dice. And not just the ones I would ask them to roll, but the ones they’d normally roll unquestioned. And all their class feats and modifiers and Free Rerolls and on and on and on. Either the GM has all that data (and must therefore manage it) when making a roll or he has to request the mechanical data from the players, which is just as immersion breaking and way more time consuming.
This sounds like a “GM is the entertainer” thing to me.
Either you think doing rolls is a mechanical burden that strips away immersion and reduces fun. In this case making the GM do all the rolls does the same to them and why would that be ok?
Or you don’t think rolling all the dice is a burden for the GM. Well then it wouldn’t be a burden for the players to do it either.
There are systems that are all player facing (players make all the rolls), but I’ve never heard of the system that expects the GM to make all the rolls.
You apparently haven’t read it. She is resigning BECAUSE SHE IS THE ONE WHO ILLEGALY RELEASED IT.
This is a whistleblower releasing evidence of war crimes to the public being chased out of her job. So yes. Absolutely do go e her kudos for this.
For me as a GM this is a nightmare scenario. You want me to not only manage story, NPCs, physics, metaphysics, narrative cohesion, pacing, world building, encounter design and scheduling, I now have to make your rolls too? Miss me with that shit.
I would turn this around: If there is trust [to not meta game] there is no need for the GM to make any rolls or have hidden stat blocks for any NPCs. This way the GM can focus more on roleplay.
mostly becuse in most places, nuclear does not recieve subsidies.
This is just not true. Nuclear plants receive subsidies in the US and most European countries. The big exception being Germany, where the current government tried to reenter nuclear energy production, but they could find any private sector partners that wanted to build new plants without significant subsidies.
Subsidies for nuclear plants are usually payed out during construction and decommission of plants, but that’s still subsidies.
I am the same. Vegetarian.
Unless the food contains uncooked dairy (milk, cream etc) or eggs (home made mayo) it can usually stay in a covered dish over night without refrigeration. It was the same at my parents house, except for fish and meat dishes.
Never had a food borne illness from my own cooking, my parents’ or the left overs.
Also, according to Muslims I have talked to, you have to knowingly and willingly consume pork for it to be a sin. If you are fed pork without your knowledge or consent the sin weighs on the one, giving you the pork.
So I his bacon dipped bullets thing is triple stupid:
Unless the Muslims know and want to be shot by these bullets, they don’t believe they’ll go to hell. If they don’t know or don’t want to be shot (which seems to be the most likely) they believe that YOU will go to hell for this. So either you believe their religion is right and you will go to hell or you believe their religion is wrong in which case the bacon doesn’t do shit.
TLDR: Bacon bullets are right wing grift for terminally stupid people.
This is only partially correct. The CDU (conservatives) has growing faction in it that wants to “normalize” relations with AfD and enter a coalition with them. Steigbügelhalter is gonna halt Steigbügel.
My wife would be in the former category (PO for the biggest software product in her company). Some days she has meetings back to back for 8h straight.
She hates in person meetings. According to her:
In person work is only for when companies don’t trust their employees. This is also true for people whose main work tool is meetings.

For actually qualified people and experts in the field it is a balance act between being able to push back against dangerous or stupid policies and legitimizing those stupid and/or dangerous policies by having your name associated with them. I guess the balance finally tipped for him.
Or just use Lua compiled without the system calls. This is done by many video games. İt’s 2025, there is no need to create new domain specific languages.
By that same logic I could claim that SHOWING me an ad by circumventing my ad blocker is interfering with the in memory execution of my ad blocker. Wtf.
Complete and utter pathetic losers people like you are to think waving signs and chanting slogans, and high-fives for feel-good protests do anything useful other than self gratification.
Meanwhile Germany announced yesterday that it would stop all weapons deliveries to Israel. That is “The safe existence of Israel is part of the Reason Germany exists”-Germany stopping weapons deliveries. That would not have happened without public protests that shifted public opinion.
Complete and utter pathetic people like you are to think writing online comments about how everything is pointless makes them somehow appear cleverer or wiser than the people at least carrying their dissent to the streets. Go away you nihilistic troll.
Are you ok?
Are you opposed to all content moderation or just reddit specific implementation?
Isn’t that just a regular ban?
