In this conversation, we explore the pros and cons of revealing the difficulty class of a skill check—both before and after the roll. We talk through how each approach can affect player decision-making, tension at the table, and trust between players and the DM, and why different moments in a game might call for different levels of transparency.

Plus, special thanks to our friend Dar for coming in and asking some additional questions which led the conversation to some game theory and some observations on interpersonal interactions.
