Default Re: rolling in open sight. yes no why when

I generally make rolls in the open and expect the people I play with to be able to compartmentalize player from character knowledge, accept occasional fudging, and go easy on the metagaming.

I don't worry too much if they slip a little either - it's not like fictional heroes never do unlikely stuff that turns out to be right, correctly deduce things from evidence that doesn't really support their conclusions, or somehow manage to read other characters minds - and anyway the point is to have a fun game session, not a simulator exercise. With good players they'll sometimes do stuff they know is wrong, and there characters should to, just because it will be more fun.
