That's something for the other poster then. It seems you both are talking past each other. I'm not trying to support one argument or the other, just clarifying to improve the discussion.

Their point isn't that success is impossible. It's that "If you work hard you will succeed." is a fairy tale and that it's irresponsible to assert otherwise.

Which translation do you recommend? I'm 40% of the way through the Ormsby one and I find it pretty funny.

IIUC how it would've worked in Australia is: First round: Begic and Peltola garner the most first-place votes, Palin is eliminated. Voters who ranked Palin first get their second choice promoted to first. Presumably that would be Begic

Sure, that's fine if you want to tell a (nearly)zero-to-(overpowered)hero story. Which I did for some time (played a bit of 1e, 2e, and DMed a lot of 5e). But, genre aside, for any other kind of story you're better off finding som

This is why I'm moving to different systems. Rules-as-written D&D is essentially a power fantasy.

I see. That's good then, because from where I sit D&D is the 800-lbs gorilla that dominates mind-share especially among newcomers. Nothing wrong with liking it, I guess I feel that more people should be aware that there's so m
