I'd never encountered this term "monster math" until here, in a few recent threads. This is where it led me... (to the tune of "Monster Mash")
I was working on my game late one night
When my eyes beheld a scary sight
For the numbers from the page began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
(they did) The math
(they did) The monster math
The monster math
It was a table smash
(they did) The math
It caught on in a flash
(they did) The math
(they did) The monster math
In the laboratories out in Renton west
The mathematicians said it's for the best
It's not our fault if they don't understand
They'll have to trust, we've got it in hand
(we've got) [chorus]
The numbers were quite bizarre
And can't explain what they are
Results included hit points, armour class and C-R
Our work was perfect, there was never a doubt
Somebody said "They can just work it out"
The number-crunchers were about to arrive
With their playtest group, the dice-roller five
(they tried) [chorus]
Out from his coffin EGG's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Opened the lid and shook a stick
And said "Whatever happened to the old arithmetic?"
(it's now) [chorus]
Now everything's cool and they all understand
That the monster math is the hit of the land
For you who are players, this math was meant too
When your character dies, tell them Jeremy killed you
(he used) [chorus]
Math good, yes … (etc.)
