About Me
- Mason
- I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. Previously, I was Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I was also a Tutorial Fellow in Somerville College. I am also a die-hard fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. See my website for more information about me. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter (@masonporter), though I'm much easier to stalk by other means. If you want power law or Zachary Karate Club swag, take a look at my Power Law Shop. I am also involved with the Legends of Caltech movie and co-edited Legends of Caltech III.

One of my gaming groups had a break recently because a player's wife had a baby. Another player asked for the kid's stats, so I wrote up the MM stat block for one. The shirt on the demotivator picture is wildly optimistic, especially for Int and Chr. I gave babies zero Str/Dex, 1 for everything else. I'll email the whole thing to you, it's too long to fit in a blog comment.
I think it's perfectly acceptable to exaggerate the stats of one's own child. :)
