Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD OCT 23: How do you make an unsuccessful dice roll change the situation instead of simply stopping the action?

I deeply disagree with
Yes, characters fail, but we are here to have fun and tell an interesting story. Spending an entire night trying and failing to open a door / find a clue / repair the spaceship is a huge waste of everyone's time. You would not watch a movie like that.
As a CH, you need tools and the willingness to move the game forward in potentially unexpected ways if the players are unlucky or just make less than optimal choices. You should not "give everyone a trophy," but the game should still advance, even if the characters are piling up danger and trouble for later. Stopping the game and the story because of a few bad rolls is just foolish in my opinion.
