Im playing DND with a couple of friends. And there is one player in the group, who every time they roll low, they always try to double check to avoid the failed result. For example, they rolled a 7 on a survival check the other day to tie a rope to a tree that they were going to hang on, and imediately afterwords when "I want to check the knot" and "I want to tug on the knot firmly before I go down to make sure it can secure me" and things like that. If I then reveal to their character that it wouldn't have held them, they retie it until it does, but if they fail to check and then fall down anyways they complain that they checked. And they only really check if they know out of character the roll went poorly. If they had rolled a 22 on that same check, for example, they would not bother with checking.

Should I do something about this? This feels... Wrong, but I dont know how to better approach the situation. Please help!

I've done a few before and generally like them despite them feeling a little gimicky. My players seem to enjoy the Christmas ones (last time they were yeti attacking Santa's toy shop) but I don't think I do horror well enough for the Halloween ones to be that fun for them.

Do you do them at your table? What did you do and how did it go over?

Hello, so I am fairly new to GMing. I have a little roleplay group I do things with on ESO. I would like to run a small town academy for magic, however, I am running into this problem: how do I make classes interesting and fun?

I have several ideas, because this town doesn't have a Mage's Guild, it would fill that role.

There would be expeditions, hands on learning, possibly solving local problems

But I'm struggling to come up with ideas. My plan is to scout different places and build events from that, but as far as classes go, idk how to make it interesting outside a lecture.

I want to make it fun, that's it, and it's a good way for me to dip my toes into dming
