Saeculum [he/him, comrade/them]

It’s like “I play baseball” vs “I play sports”.

I think more like “I play baseball” Vs “I play softball/rounders/cricket”.

It’s not that difficult to convince people who enjoy little league to try standard baseball.

People complain about it a lot, but I’ve never actually ran into a system that uses any maths beyond what a five-year-old should be capable of. Closest I think might be Mutants and Masterminds with stacking multipliers, but still just some extra steps. Nothing that knowing your times tables wouldn’t prepare you for.

You can be wise, observant and faithful all you like, but your personal conviction and interpersonal skills aren’t going to help you recall obscure holy texts purely from memory.
