Hmmmm, not sure what the false dichotomy is? You can make assumptions into my questions (the two general ends of the spectrum) but at no time did I think or suggest there are only two options, hence the open question at the end. Its just a general request for opinions on whether modern players...

Its not flawed, it's asking a particular question about 'challenge,' that challenge is keeping a PC alive, and whether players want that challenge. Of course there are other things that can challenge players in a game but this was not what I was interested in asking about. I specifically want to...

I'm really happy to see someone take on the D&D beast and MCDM seem to be the ones with enough audience to do it. Very surprised to see how much support this essentially untested RPG is getting with no play content and rules that just don't seem that innovative. Very surprised. So many...

I'm definitely not talking about scripted death in the OP. I'd also be surprised if players want a guaranteed death too. I think game sessions, for the most part, are enhanced by players knowing there is a chance of death. I doubt players ever want to die but surely they want to be challenged...

Excellent, I hope there are enough out there that do. I'm going to start advertising my game soon and I am concerned that talking about it's challenging nature might be viewed as a negative. Interstellar Mercenary is tough! Mod Edit: Advertising link removed. ~Umbran

Well point. I agree, death isn't the only way to fail or create peril in a game. Agency, feeling like you can change the world, have meaningful interactions are more important for sure but I think a sense of mortality helps enhance all of that. It should matter if a character dies.

Good to hear, that's how I hope my players feel!

I like that, whilst I've asked generally, I may formally have them vote on it before next campaign.

Fortunately we have an online character generator which makes characters is a few minutes but back when it took us an hour to make one it was even more devastating when a character dies. These days most of my regular players have a few characters pre-made so they can jump back in at the next...

My game (InterStellar Mercenary) is difficult. Trying to complete a mission while being hunted down by bounty hunters, deadly creatures, the enemy empire, and your fellow mercenary means there is a high chance of death. In a campaign (10 missions) I probably average about 50% die. Whilst my...

Hope the outrageous claim got you here! Though, I'd love to see something original compete with DnD! Follow now! NOW YOU GET TO BE THE MONSTER! The Kisrian Empire is desperate, ravaged on all sides by legions of enemy determined to take land and resources. And, worse is coming, an alien...

You missed mine! Interstellar Mercenary: The Roleplaying Game and Campaign. Hoping to Launch in February 2024!

Ok, with the feedback so far, how is this looking now?

Good suggestion, I'll change the title to focus on the game rather than the discount. Nobody will care about the discount if they don't want the game anyway!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll review the font choice, I think the outlined text might make it hard work to read.
