That’s wizard talk. My great grandma slept with a dragon and now sometimes when I sneeze I summon butterflies.

This is the second power rangers related post of yours I’ve seen of yours. What are you working on? Is it a 12-story tall crab suit?

Chris Perkins was the editor for Dungeon magazine when I had a subscription in those days. Really loved the adventures they put out. Got a lot of anxiety about the future of the brand - but maybe some new blood will be good!

I’m doubling down! I see a campaign about friends coming together to tell a story. As a GM, I see my role as using rules to guide people to that good story, and I’ve no problem breaking the rules in service of the mission. Nothing sucks the energy from a narrative like an underwhelming encounter

All that being said - I’ve never fudged dice.

But most rolls I think in your example are GM-determined skill checks over a variety of systems, and in most of those, the book gives the GM range to set those target goals (be it DC in DnD or whatever) anyway. And if I come up with 15 in my head on the spot, am I fudging the dice or the DC?

Depends on the dice your fudging.
If you have crunchy combat rules, and you’re fudging THOSE dice to extend a combat that could stand to go on a little longer or trying to spare an NPC that you’d like
to keep around for exposition reasons. I think that’s fine. You’ve probably got good motives there
