Even if success is unlikely, allow players to attempt wild ideas. Failing spectacularly can be just as fun as succeeding.
When a player proposes something wild – swinging from a chandelier to kick a bandit, sweet-talking a dragon, or using a loaf of bread as a distraction – don’t shut it down just because the odds are slim. Let them roll. Even if they fail, it becomes a memorable moment that shows you’re open to creativity. Spectacular failures often spark laughter and story just as much as critical successes. The goal isn’t realism – it’s fun.
