Oh god so many DMs in the past have done this, and I just roll my eyes every time.
Like I'm okay if you want to roll your own dice behind the screen to see if we get attacked overnight, but that should be the only kind of "roll to see what happens" going on.
Absolutely. The GMs got tables to help them determine what's going on - you've got one person. Engage with the setting, not a piece of paper.
And yes, DMs, sometimes that means adjusting your plans on the fly to make what they do have fun consequences. That's our job.
