Sometimes you’re at a loss for how to run an encounter, or you may have a party that either can’t or won’t use tactics or think through solutions. This can easily become an issue, and Game Masters often find it frustrating to build encounters involving complex layers only to have characters charge through and look to the GM in dismay after a failure. I’ve seen this myself several times.
Embracing your party’s chaotic nature from time to time is the key to overcoming this scenario. Engaging players who have this random outlook at least periodically can only improve rapport at the table. You might even find this can lighten the mood and satisfy the needs of the chaotic character so they might be open to more involved or thought provoking encounters later. This is where an encounter like Coin Flip comes into play.
