I may discard the result and go with the gut feeling
this is fudging rolls
I was worried someone might take it this way. Fudging rolls means stating the result of a secret roll was different than it was in reality. What I’m talking about is using a die to inspire you what should happen in a situation where rolling is not applicable. Players decide to go to the sewers for some reason. What’s in there? I don’t know. Yet. There are no rules on what to roll when they go to the sewers now. I may ask them what they expect to find. I may draw a card. I may roll a die. I may consult the random encounters table. It’s not a “roll” in the gaming sense, it’s a way to get some inspiration on my next description. But it’s like with a coin toss, sometimes you know what should happen when you make the roll and before you even see the result.

which is what you’re doing when you ignore it…? otherwise you wouldn’t be ignoring it
Because the result has no meaning, it’s not a roll in a gaming sense. It being 20 or 1 makes no difference, it’s just to spark something in the imagination.
