TTRPGs are also all for the benefit of the audience... who just also happen to be the actors, writers, and director, as well. Realism makes bad movies and worse games.For that matter, to back up your 1000 orcs example for once, movies rarely ever establish how Suaron raises & quarters millions of orcs in a wasteland or how the First Order builds ever more gigantic ships while the New Republic with the resources of a galaxy keeps using the same battered x-wings.  It wouldn't be dramatic if the heroes weren't overcoming impossible odds every time.</blockquote>
