![]() If you truly, deeply, and completely felt there was no issue, this thread would not exist. Just as easily you can discard any people who disagree with your actions and point them out as wrong, because they "don't know you" or the full context, or whatever other illusions you might want to cover the fact that you understand that what you are doing is wrong, and now feel bad about it and want someone else to make you feel better about it, either via direct validation or stark vitriol against you that you can use to get angry and defensive and set yourself even deeper into he false mindset that what you are doing is somehow not wrong. So you seek validation from people outside your friend circle, who you can easily take that validation from. You are doing wrong to your group, and know you are doing wrong to your group. If your logic held true that this "isn't a problem" you would not be keeping it a secret.īy extension, that means this is a problem. You are keeping it a secret because of this. In this case, you clearly believe that telling your group this fact would cause an issue. Which really feeds back into the main point that if you did not think it was wrong (or at least believe others would think it was wrong, and harm you for it), you wouldn't hide it.īasically, it's not a matter of something objectively BEING wrong, it's your own belief that holds you back. If you value you reputation, and believe that revealing a love for a cartoon would somehow tarnish that, you would hide it. If you did not believe it to be somehow "wrong", you wouldn't hide it, unless you had some other ulterior motive for doing so you believe you would be actively harmed by it. Like my love of power puff girls? We hide many things that are not wrong but heavily misunderstood. Samurai Jack and Primal didn't come from nowhere. That's what you're supposed to do!:smalltongue:Īlso oldschool PPG is legit. Managing to hide from someone on a nat 1 and having my ambush turned around on me with a modified intelligence roll of 0 are some of my favorite memories.Īlso if you're cheating and you're the DM. A flawless victory is a rush anywhere, but nothing is going to top my memories of the times when I rolled 1s when everything was on the line and I still managed to scrape by with ingenuity and teamwork. I also have to caution you that things going terribly, terribly wrong and still leading to a success (or just survival) is what makes TTRPGS uniquely great. Hopefully you all have a good laugh when it snaps on somebody. ![]() You're playing with a wound-up mousetrap. Just beware if your friends aren't into this. If this is how your group rolls, then I just hope it makes everyone's experience more fulfilling. I've heard stories of people who throw poker games to friends they know are cheaters because those people don't mind losing nearly as much as their friends love to win. In theory you're not hurting anyone, so really you do you. You can't cheat a game, the rules don't care. If the other players wouldn't mind why are you secretly doing it? If they would mind why do you think lying to them is ok? Wow! You actually cheated?! Way a go, man. *Winces in anticipation of punishment and backlash* If my cheating really were a problem I think other players would have noticed by now. I think cheating is okay if I'm doing it in a way where I have more fun and it's unnoticeable to those around me. Why am I telling you all this? Because this is a community where discussion is King and am using it as an outlet to start a conversation I think many are afraid to start. These small changes have gone unnoticed in countless games, I still roll a 6 when I desperately need above a 10, I still miss, I still fail saves, and I still roll Nat 1's when I use other dice (I swap between what dice I roll so it's not obvious). It sucks to fail a saving throw and have to sit out a combat for a few rounds. It sucks to waste a spell slot on a missed Spell. It sucks to run out of fun spells to use. But let's all be honest, it sucks to play a session where your character does nothing because of bad rolls. Why do this? Am I trying to "Win" D&D? No, not at all. ![]() I usually squeeze out a few extra spells. More than that, I don't always keep track of my spell slots on purpose. Which means the lowest I can roll is 4 and I have a 65% chance of rolling above 10, with a 10% chance of a natural 20 instead of 5%. I use an advantage d20 that replaces the 1, 2 and 3 with an extra 18, 19, 20. I cheat at D&D and it's a better experience, I know that's terrible sounding but hear me out. First let me say I'm expecting a bunch of hate for this post. ![]()
