D&D: Why 6 Ability Scores?

Why does D&D use 6 ability scores? Where did the concept of these 6 scores come from and how have these scores changed over the history of the game? Find out in my latest video!

*CORRECTIONS*
Thanks to viewer Daniel Boggs for these corrections.

* The creator of Brownstone is DUANE Jenkins, not Dave
* The Spanish Royals character sheet comes from Griff Morgan, who found it and it was then published on the Hidden in Shadows blog May 12 2017
* Dave Megarry's character sheets were first published on the Hidden in Shadows
* D12s were not used for rolls initially; it was all based on 2d6
