I'd accept it if the cast failed their rolls, but those were decent checks they passed. Having it fail because Matt rolled poorly is where it loving sucked.

Having it 180 back because Tal rolled well is satisfying.

Honestly, Matt rolling and failing normally would've sucked, but him rolling a loving 1 was just insane to the point breaking into funny territory for me.

That's the game.

The DC was probably fairly low because of their rolls, but he rolled a one.

That's just the game imo.

To each their own, but this is one of the moments where I'd prefer the DM fudge things so that 100 sessions of the game ended in triumph instead of another partial victory.

There's only 9 of them, so Plane Shift will work fine: essek, molly, fjord, jester, caleb, veth, yasha, caduceus and beau.

They saved the world, they just didn't save one person. That was a Triumph.

It's a sacrifice they all would take. It sucks they didn't get 100%(until Cad's 15% roll), but they didn't know if they would be able to save Molly going in anyway, this would have just been a bonus.


But this is just a difference in philosophy.

Yep the Die are the Die. And you play off of that.

They had to roll a 5 lmao The DC was comically low. He just rolled a loving 1.

But yeah, the Cast knew the resurrection rules going in.

They knew there was a decent chance at failure.

It just felt right emotionally and cinematically!

The overarching theme of this game hasn't been about "save the world," it's been about the Nein themselves.
