I never roll dice in the open, for the same reason I don't let the party see the maps or monster stats, or open any book but the phb.
The dice aren't in charge of the game. The books aren't in charge of the game. The DM is in charge of the game.
I'll make fake rolls to ratchet up tension. To refocus a party discussion. To create urgency.
I will flat out lie to the players to make a session more satisfying for them.
It only works if your players trust you, and if your players don't trust you, rolling in the open isn't going to fix that.
Creating fun and excitement does, and that has nothing to do with rules honesty. It only requires you to be scrupulously honest about what you DO say, even when you mess up and have to admit a mistake.
Nobody actually cares about rules but DMs and rules lawyers, and players who trust you don't rules lawyer.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but "dungeon vendors" are the most contrived bullshit since the "arbitrarily shaped room" dungeon with no set purpose itself.

Fuck off with this performative bullshit.
"Fetch" just isn't going to happen.

Performative nonsense under the supremacy clause.
Literal slop thrown in the social media trough for the plebs to slurp up and pretend their "leaders" are making a difference.

Not just fired. Arrested. Endangerment, attempted manslaughter, whatever.
She should face charges and never work in the medical field again.
This was dangerously stupid, and stupid should HURT.

Since the number of things Europoors don't know about America is infinite, and the number of things that Europoors crash out over is infinite, Europe will continue crashing out about meaningless things in America until all the Europoor dhimmi lose access to speech on the internet.
They'll keep crashing out over it, we just won't have to listen to them anymore.

Socialism is "authoritarian dictatorship we agree with" coded.
Until they disagree and start being the crunchy center of mass graves, then it "wasn't real socialism".

Thanks! I'm a fan of the ILOH (he's where I started following you from) but that one slipped by me.

"Sir this is a Wendy's."
"I'm as comfortable sperging about how taxation is theft in a Wendy's as any other venue, so that's not really relevant."

Same thing with the medieval period. Mindsets and customs that might as well be from a different planet.
We take a post-Victorian era out of focus mental snapshot of 600 years of history and pretend we understand it.

He did. That's Thomas Riker, the transporter cloned brother of Will Riker. He was in a single episode.
