Quick Quiz

Hi,

For those of you who game (even a little bit, even board game):

When you roll dice against some target number does it feel more "correct" to try and roll higher than the target number (like d20) or to try and roll lower than the target number (like Call of Cthulhu)?

If you're reading a game and they do it differently than the way you feel comfortable with, are you less likely to try the game out?

Trying to roll higher makes more sense to me. But a different mechanic would not prevent me from playing a game.

Note that I'm a babe in arms when it comes to dice-based games; most of my gaming experience is in LARP, where dice is not used. So, grain of salt, or something.
