Don't believe his lies
I never got to play Dungeons and Dragons growing up. Nobody introduced me to it, nobody's brother had played a few games. I became interested at around age 15 but had nobody to play with.
Now I am in my mid 20s and still have never played DND with anyone, although I found ToEE (the crpg) and KoTC somewhat interesting. I'm making an RPG game with turn-based combat and although tempted to start researching the OGL and learning the deeper mechanics of DND - I feel like a fraud, I feel it will take too long to appreciate them, and I feel that train has long passed by me.
So now my games are going to use a bastardisation of RPG rules - based on pure RNGesus. A knight with combat score 500 vs a goblin with combat score 10. The chance of the goblin killing the knight is (5 * 100 / 500) = 2%. I'm so sorry everyone.
