my favorite d&d thing is when someone flubs like a really obvious perception roll or something and the dm gets to be like, “well, you’re pretty sure you’re in a room but you could be wrong”
it is either really wet or really dry, you’re not entirely sure
One time a guy in our party rolled a nat 20 on a perception check, but there was nothing around he didnt already see, so the DM said “You’re not quite sure, but for a few seconds it seems like you’re standing on a giant’s table, surrounded by 5 Giants. Your party seems to look stiff and fake, and Large papers and Dice are strewn around you. Then, everything goes back to normal.”
I used to play 3.5, where Trapfinding was a rogue thing. Whenever our rogue flubbed a trapfinding roll, our DM would say, in a cheery voice, “You detect none of the traps!”
one time, my COMPLETELY non-magic using rogue rolled a nat 20 for arcana while checking out a magical sword and the dm was like “somehow… many years ago while robbing a house, you came across one very specific book about magic this one time and memorized it god knows why”
