[UA] (OT) Dicey Incompetence

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

Unfortunately, I could say the same thing about UA. 
Most of my starting characters end up with pretty
pathetic skills.  If I ever ran into a UA GM (I
probably won't, but I might) who ran adventures in the
OU like GMs run adventures in Gloriantha then the
whole game would quickly dissolve into a comedy of
errors.

Is that how you spell "dissolve?"

Ah, but the things I couldn't do with those hands...
Quackquackquack.  (This is by no means a defence of
Runequest, just a bizarre twinge of nostalgia -like
remembering the time you were captured and beaten by
fanatics with something akin to twisted love.)
