That's key, right there.

As Producer, you are not out to stomp the players. You're there to add adversity only when adversity would make things more interesting. You collaborate with the players to make a cool story. The problem is that oftentimes, players and Producers might have different ideas about what awesome is. Thus, the mechanic to settle the dispute.
