Frank should pull out the next PC in the stack.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gwen is dead because she wanted to make a new pc and forced the gm to kill her.  This is really something Gwen should apologize to both her gm and the other players for, but this is also a problem often caused by games that allow players to rest up out in the field instead of needing to go back to town... IMO this is a good excuse for the gm to change that rule and point to Gwen forcing the GM to kill her as the reason why there is not going to be discussion.  Gwen really should have been up front with the GM and asked to rebuild her PC or come in with a new one next session... The only thing I've seen∆ directly provide guidance encouraging players to do this kind of outreach is draw Steel.  That is very much something that more ttrpgs should encourage players with.</li> </ul>∆ only one that I remember.  I don't doubt I've seen games with similar, just none that come to mind.</blockquote>
