If they get a low roll, or get a high roll, they know it is legit.

He is still in charge.<br /><br />Actually, the only thing you lose by using a system like in Symbaroum or Brigandyne is the ability to fudge your own rolls (which is something I never do). Well, and of course you don't get to roll dice and rolling dice is fun.Kyorouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039756343930755030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-80596665578174890312017-06-23T09:29:13.104-04:002017-06-23T09:29:13.104-04:00If you enjoy playing those games, or any games, yo...If you enjoy playing those games, or any games, you should obviously continue to do so.
