> That's a bit like comparing apples and oranges; what's true in this world might not be true in a fantasy world. Which brings me to the second point this raises -- your personal approach is not the ONLY approach. You're coming across a bit "Gygaxian" right

I don't... I don't even know what that means. If I have to be a "-ian" anything I am a Arneson-ian and have made no secret of it. In Arneson's "First Fantasy Campaign" he explained that
the first experience point system was based on the money gained on an adventure, and that a character did not get anything until the spent that money in their "Area of Interest".
As to apples and oranges... really? Who even says that any more? How young are you?
Thank you for reading, anyway.
