I've got someone at the table who cheats. Everyone knows they cheat except their significant other (as far as we know). I started this campaign saying that we should all be more open with our dice rolls, implying its more fun when we can all see and react to the rolls. I thought this was a pretty unsubtle way of saying "I know you're cheating, I don't want to make a big deal out of it, just stop."
Apparently I'm an idiot for thinking they could read my mind because the cheating hasn't even slowed down a little. I want to just talk to them about it, but I'm worried being to accusatory will piss them off and I'll lose 2 players over some stupid bullshit.

>not saying right from game 1 that all rolls must be made in plain sight and clearly seen

'Hey dude, I noticed you've been fudging your dice rolls. Can we talk about it?'
If he agrees to stop... give him another chance. If he doesn't stop, KICK HIM OUT. If he doesn't agree to stop... KICK HIM OUT.
Seriously don't put up with this shit.

This what the fuck who doesn't do this

>>54756015 Just bite the bullet and either address them directly or roll on their behalf, if you're the gm. Or just have them literally roll on the table so you can see, if he wont agree then its an unfortunate necessity to kick him out.
You've probably put more thought into what you'd say than any of us could, but if being indirect doesent work, the next step would be to be direct.

Just to clarify, I don't think I'd be losing the player because of anger or anything, I'm more afraid that they'll be too embarrassed to show up if I call them out.

How is he cheating when you can see his dice rolls? Just saying he has modifiers he doesn't?

>>54756015
So who's s/he been seeing on the side?

Get a dice bowl to roll in.
Talk to the player. Accept that you might not be able to change anything and will have to either tolerate or boot the player.
Best friend flunked college and started cheating in pnp games just to feel like he's winning anything in life at that time, and I tolerated it, and he slowly stopped once his life's started getting back on track. Was a touchy subject, talked to him about it but he denied it.
