The realism vs. abstraction contest should always tilt toward abstraction. Games aren’t models of reality as much as they’re abstractions of reality.
Quotes by Jared Sorensen
You took that twenty-sider that couldn’t (no, wouldn’t) roll above a 4 and buried it in your backyard. It’s probably still there. Give it another few years to mull things over, then dig it up and give it a few rolls. See if it’s learned its lesson.
