[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8531506, member: 6855114"] Are you telling me that I am a liar? Who in his right mind would ever use the UA rolling method? Not any DM that I have ever coached. 4d6 in order, drop lowest. Still the way to go today. Maxperson's method of 4d6 x3 and 3d6 x3 has merits and I am seriously thinking of using it. Over the years. By the end of 1990, I had "introduced" into the hobby about 100 people. From coaching new DM to getting other people play and keep the hobby alive and having tournaments (preparing and organizing mainly), I was very active. In 10 years, it only took a dozen new players per year to get the ball rolling. And I often had more than 6 groups of 6 people (my absolute max was 10 groups or so). It all dropped when I got to college (before university) as the workload in college was a lot more than high school. And even then, I kept enough players for two groups and one group for the friday night dungeons/exhibitions (again, to encourage the recognition of the hobby). [/QUOTE]
