Been there, done thatReynard said:Here's the scenario:.. What do you do...
Depends on the game, the group, and the scenario...not to mention what else is available. Possible options include, but are not limited to: Co-Dm by running the BBEG minions...*not* the BBEG himself...., Play the part of a re-curring NPC {minor baddie or introduced goodie} for the rest of the session, roll up a new character, serve drinks, leer at the hottie player, grab the PS2 and crank up Ghost Recon, play M:tG, read comic books, work on my next time as DM, kibitz as the rules-helper, make brownies {not *those* kind }, sit back and watch the show .... sit on my rear and feel sorry for myself... ya know, lots of things....if you are the player of the slain PC?
Say something like 'gee, that sucks..' if player is sitting on his/her rear feeling sorry for themselves, suggest any/all of the above as ways to do something else...continue playing my character's motivations and either pursue the original goal or seek healing/resurrection for the slain PC....if you are another player?
Say something like 'gee, that sucks..' if the playe... oh wait, I already said that...if you are the DM?
