This is mostly for Dan, and I am not typing this to make him mad. But the use of perception all the time has to stop.

This is a good thread to read for the reasons why:

and this one:

When I am a guest at a convention I am there to entertain people and add to the fun they have at the event. thus, unless the game session is advertised as one where the objective is to kill the PCs--and I've done a few of those--I try to keep PCs alive. Of course if a player doesn't want to have his character survive, the natural selection process of the game environment will take over.

Next time I wont give you a chance to find hidden things then when they are about to do something nasty

. That and you guys did something completly different then I figured you would. I figured you would at least talk to the guards, they were going to escort you though.

What is hidden about rolling the dice to see if I recognize Califonea?
What is hidden about stepping in nerf poop?

Is any of that necessary?
