[QUOTE="electric-ant, post: 788861, member: 9845"] Just some advice as a player: Don't let them know what's going on. Nothing ruins the suspension of disbelief more for me than when a GM starts off a game session with something like, "Well, your death caused some weird fluxing in the magic auras nearby. That resulted in a combination with the...uh...[i]luck blade[/i] that...uh....resurrected all your characters. So, you're not dead!" That's tantamount to saying, "Oh...hmmm...oops. Rewind! - makes rewinding tape noise with mouth- OK....you're entering the dragon's lair...." Just grin mysteriously, hand them characters sheets sans gear plus other alterations (but don't tell them; wait for them to figure out what they're missing), and start out "You wake up. You feel oddly stiff this morning, as if you had fallen asleep atop an usually hard rock." Not that I'm trying to tell you how to run your game, of course. :D [/QUOTE]
