I am using the S&S module, Rappan Athuk and warned the players ahead of time that some sections could get really nasty and it is possible that a fallen PC can be non-recoverable, so players are supposed to bring a backup character to every game  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> But this is known ahead of time, so when a PC does fall, there are no grumblings as players dont really get attached to their characters. So far, they have covered about 7 of the 21 or so levels of the dungeon (approximately 15 sessions). These are the stats so far:Player A: Fighter died in the first combat, about 1 hour into the game. Second character is a Monk, who as survived so far.Player B: Cleric died the first session, came back as a Fighter. Lasted a few sessions, then died, came back as a Druid. Petrified, restored, but created a Barbarian to play.Player C: Fighter died in the first session, came back as a Paladin, lasted a few sessions and died in the same fight as Player B's Fighter. Came back as evil, undead animated Cleric. Still alive.Player D: Rogue. Survived most of what killed the first three PCs. Died twiced and raised. Eventually was possessed and killed, body was considered non-recoverable. Came back with a Cleric. Still alive.Player E: Started with a "battle cleric". Died trying to retrieve the body of Player D's Rogue. Body considered non-recoverable. Came back with a Barbarian. Died an hour later. Body non-recoverable. Came back with a Barbarian/Rogue. Still alive.Player F: Dwarven Wizard. No deaths. Runs/Dim doors/teleports/goes invisible at the slightest sign of trouble  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> In my "roleplaying" games, characters only die by extreme situations, bad rolls or stupidity. I do my best to make sure they are challenged but not overwhelmed.B</blockquote>
