An item RPG Item: Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Core Rulebook has been added to the geeklist 17 August 2026: How did your RPG session(s) go this week?

by Gorlab

Over the ten+ years I've been an overseer of board & RPG's, I've stumbled across a handful of fudgers.

I tend to play a "fail-forward" system now, so even if the dice go against the players, I let them know it's not the end of the world. If they continue to fudge-rolls, I'll privately GeekMail them and let them know there's "some issue" with the dice roller showing too many rolls within the thread, rather than be all confrontational and play a tad "dumb-don't-know" to the issue, so that they know that I know that they know... well, you get the picture! It's always worked and stopped the fudgers, since I let them know that all posted dice rolls are recorded, whether they delete bad die rolls or complete posts, that way they know their under the Eye of Walts! :sauron:.:.

Yesterday I was in my parents' village and suddenly thought, why did I not use this place for that one scenario that takes place in the countryside with hiding runaway demons (In Nomine)? Then I thought, that would be disrespectful when you know the actual people.

Not counting the eras in which Toulouse had a fate similar to every other city in the wider area, I would go for the below:
Ca460-511: Early capital of the Wisigothic Kingdom. Might be an idea to play as Wisigoths, Romans, or foreign merchants facing the Frankish advance.
WW2: the main refuge of Spanish, Polish, and all sorts of European Resistance fighters, together with the French networks. Maybe the best period to play in, given how much info is available.

As for fantasy games, I do not feel like I love and know the city enough. Some brick-built parts of it are literally crumbling those years, and it's not a pretty sight.

Cool! You're always tempting me with these adventure books. I also have a few planned purchases from Alkonost, but since I'm a bit short on money these days, that will wait for my birthday in a few months.

Since moving to Athens, Georgia, I have played in a bewildering number of games set here: Unknown Armies, Wuxia Martial Arts, modern supernatural, MASKS: A New Generation, Monsterhearts . . . and probably some I am forgetting. Only a few of them made it to campaign length, many were one or two shots. But Athens has a lot going for it as a setting, the University of Georgia, a vibrant music secene, some historical places and things, two hospitals, all in a smallish (90K or so, sans students) city.

You have to play Scion. Any place named Athens and with Greek System fraternities, has a connection to the Olympus in the Overworld.

Wow. I have to say, I am surprised that you had several players who were fudging rolls. Makes me wonder if that was done in any of my games as well.

Was there anything you did that made them eager to fudge rolls? For instance, if you play a game where characters suffer enormously from failing rolls, they might feel the need to fudge.

That's a good question, and made me ponder a bit. Hoard of the Dragon Queen starts immediately with several fights which could be taxing, so one can legitimately wonder...
But then I checked and the "best" fudger started literally with his fourth roll on day two of the thread, and then again his seventh and eigth rolls are deleted as well. And again 13th, 14, 15th 🤦‍♂️

Furthermore, his character had amazing attributes. I questioned it before starting the adventure and he claimed he rolled on DnD Beyond. I didn't want to spoil the fun and the momentum everyone was having, so I didn't force him to reroll on the forum, but in hindsight, it's a tell that he was playing to win rather than having fun.

Looking at some of the rolls, it really hurts...

What actions do you do while gaming that you would never do in real life?

I do not understand this question. Almost nothing I do in a RPG do I do in real life, so I must be missing something. Can you explain?

Murdering goblins!
