    I said only good for. you can wedge other shit in but its absolutely not the right tool. ‘roll to search’ ‘roll to spot a tail’ ‘roll to know if he’s lying’ is not interesting.

    systems that are actually good for this shit exist.

      The stranger says you can trust him with the money

      Player: I want to roll insight

      (dm hidden roll: deception: 15)

      Insight 14 -> “you aren’t sure he’s lying, but you feel very uneasy trusting him”

      Insight 5 -> “you really can’t read his expression”

      Insight 16 -> “you aren’t totally sure, but you think he’s going to betray you”

      Insight 19 -> “yeah this guy is totally going to rip you off”

      The game not being interesting is largely a DM problem regardless of the framework you use.
