Uuuueeegh. 80% of the fun is the interaction. I spent 45 minutes trying to explain numbers to the half-orc, and how they all stayed the same size and didn't get bigger even if the number of things they represented got bigger. And if they were like that because signs and things are rectangular, and if we went by the size method then they would have to all be triangle shaped. And lumber doesn't come in triangles. Then someone chimed in that the lumber could be cut in to triangles, so my character had to withdraw from the group to meditate on this. He then decided later on that the system currently in place was better, because when kings paid lots of money, the triangle parchment they were on would be so big, anyone could see the amount and it wouldn't be very discreet. That, and rectangles just look more stoic and robust. Triangles are more of a stabbing shape, something that he doesn't like. He then recognized that his personal preference didn't dictate the shape of signs, but everyone could agree that rectangle shapes are more convenient, and there are a bunch of different triangles.

He's also very dumb. He also went to discuss how if there is a goddess of the forest, and someone makes a chair out of wood, does she still preside over the chair? My first experience with 3.5, by the way.
