Ok, it's getting a little heated so I will submit that we're all jerks (including me) and let's just move on. Also, I would humbly suggest anyone who might be contemplating posting anything that might invoke the ire of mods take a break from this thread for a couple days... 
It's never worth it!
Back to the topic at hand:
There seems to be almost two questions here:
a) should we change the death penalty at all
b) if yes to a, how much
It's certainly possible to discuss both at once but let's keep that in mind just so we don't get too confused.
Along that line: CaBaNa - not surprisingly I would push for a smaller number on the "how much" issue. How about "or 3 RPs"? In fact, I'm good for just changing it to 3 RPs instead of 3 encounters.
What do others think of that model?

Yes, lets not get too heated, folks.
Keep in mind any rule that involves RP will be affected if the double RP proposal goes through.
As for this debate: There should be a penalty for death. I know entire groups that died in L4W and were brought back with nary a complaint about the penalty. Death happens.
I am not currently convinced that changing this is needful. I have not seen evidence that the existence of it has driven anyone away at this point.

I like this idea. Sounds fair enough.
We could just remove the penalty altogether since we're already getting months of punishment instead of a session or two in tabletop gaming.
But then, some people might find that as an incentive to play reckless characters.

I agree that there should be a penalty for death, and that it should be scary.
That said, a year of -1 to most any check is a little over the top.
I doubt it would drive someone away entirely, but it could influence their decision to scrap a character.
I'm not asking to lessen the penalty itself, just put a limit on it's possible time-span.
Three milestones, or 4/5/6 months of play, instead of three milestones, or however long it takes.

Hell no!
Part of the fun is actually being scared of your character dying, otherwise we'd all be playing controller chargers. I like having to think while in a fight, and I also like learning from my mistakes, even if time here is as slow as a turtle.
Having said that, I think that PCs are hard enough to kill already, so please don't soften up our DMs
That is wrong in so many ways.
Course, my adventure should be finished one way or another in a few months. Hmmmm.
