Acknowledged.
That said, I'm coming to the conclusion that my premise on this--that problems character generation cause players are genuine systemic problems--are also foreign enough to you that any further exchange is pointless.

Oh, come on Nightshade. Don't be so silly and melodramatic
It was just plain silly to say that the only way a GM can engage the skills and abilities of the sailor occupation was to present a boat in every session. There are plenty of other ways that a GM can engage the skills and abilities of a sailor without resorting to a boat in every session. You are an intelligent and imaginative person and I am confident that you could come up with plenty of other ideas to engage a sailor character.
Again, don't be so silly. I comprehend your premise. I simply disagree with it. I don't see RQ3's random character generation method or the optional character generation methods as a systematic problem; it's that simple. I can't honestly believe that you are trying to be condescending in your posts, but when you use words like 'foreign,' 'dismissive,' or 'elitist' it is hard to stay positive. I'm going to chalk it up to the nature of forums and the written word; without context things are easily taken the wrong way.
Seriously, I wished I still lived in Glendale. I grew up in Glendale and lived in the L.A. until a few years ago. I did most of my gaming and made my RPG purchases at the Last Grenadier in Burbank. Once in a blue moon, I would make up to that RPG shop on Colorado past the Pasadena City College (I can't recall the name at the moment
). Anyway, I would love to discuss these things in person over a beer or cup of coffee.
