Comment on “Dex vs. Con”

I like reading this kind of thing. A little bit of connective tissue and pure math (given certain assumptions, such as those of your game world) that prove one thing or another about the game world - all thanks to rigid application of the rules.

Is it any wonder I can't stomach the 'rules-lite' crowd who crow proudly about their stories and their fantasies? They did not have to work against the odds for the story they boast about. They picked and chose at will, like rich children in a chocolate shop.

I can have their indulgence, or I can have the reality of percentages.
