I've played with a DM who I am SURE fudged his rolls, but no-one minded
(mound?) because the game was fun and interesting.  He denied fudging, and it
was hard to tell, since of course the tables, etc. for his dungeon were
'secret', and he developed the habit of always rolling the dice.
Me:	"Healy swings at the sand-worm"
Mark:	(rattle rattle) "He hits -- 276 points damage with that +7 power-
	sword --  it dies"
Me:	"Austin casts 'cure light wounds'"
Mark:	(rattle rattle) "OK, everyone is cured except FroBozz"
Me:	"Hey, Mark, want another beer?"
Mark:	(rattle rattle) "Yeah, and get some more pretzels while you're up"

I did get a bit annoyed when later on, Austin drank some 'magic coffee' and
wound up going from fourth level lawful-neutral MU to 21st level chaotic
evil undead lich.  (Austin was promptly declared a NPC and lost interest in the
party)  But \I/ rolled the percentile dice for the Magic Coffee table --
four double-zeros in a row.  My own fault, I guess.....
