An even dozen is enough, I agree.

Unrelated to the above: He is not listening to the advice you are trying to give, because you have convinced him that what he wants to do will work. Good job, well done.

Not even this site: What you seem to be describing sounds an awful lot like generals, historically, having been ready to fight the most recent war, not the one they were currently fighting.

Neighbor, you've phrased that question extremely poorly. I will not answer either the question you've asked or the question you've meant to ask, though.

Seems as though if you think those two words are the same thing, the locus of at least some of your problems is clear.

There are so many people like that, here.

Since we're talking numbers, here, I read like 210 books last year, with another ten that I noped out of at some point along the way. (Some of the novels I finished, I might have been happier if I hadn't, but oh comma well.) Most of my reading seems to have been various sorts of crime and...

I have a relatively small stack of library books, and I'm returning a large stack tomorrow. I dunno if we'll walk through and do a browse or not. I also have no idea what book I'm going to read next.

This is intentional, right?

Unrelated to the above (I think): I'm really very curious about how that thread drifted there, but I really don't want to read the process.

As is the tradition in our household, a nigh-miraculous beer instead of sparkling wine. Cheers and all the best for 2026!

If you are wondering if you should leave a TRPG table, you probably should.

It's probably an error to confuse mathematics and numerology.

Says as much about the circle/s of players as it does about the GM, or about the game. Though I suppose after forty-three years there's probably at least some Ship of Theseus stuff happening.

I don't do anything professional on my computer, so my attitude might be different, but I have said that I want my computer to support (in the sense of "make it easier to do more") my hobbies, not to be my hobby.

Yeah, my experience is that if a movie (or novel, or whatever) is set long enough in the past that you're better off just taking any amount of money as meaning what the characters say it does. So an expensive house is an expensive house, for instance. I've head some Hammett and some Chandler...

That's a thing that older editions did, and it's not unreasonable. Somewhere on this site is a long post (that someone else wrote) about classes being balanced by rarity. Given that the edition/s I'm running don't do that, it's not relevant to me.

I don't wildly disagree with you. I'd rather purchase everything out of the same point pool, and setting limits on ability scores does tend to make SAD characters easier to build, and the games that don't have randomly generated ability scores work more than well enough. On the other hand, if...

None of this is really about stat generation, though. It's all about expectations and experiences and preferences.
