Do players even like the risk of death?

[QUOTE="Doc_Klueless, post: 8268740, member: 261"] D&D player here. Since '81. And as I stated earlier, not so much. I find death to be the most boring of consequences of combat. I accept that death is on the table. But [I]want[/I] is too strong a word for my desires. I absolutely, positively and emphatically state, though, that that is a [I][B]personal taste of mine[/B][/I] and should not be taken as a universal truth. LATE EDIT: Though I should also add, it really depends on the tone of the game. If I'm playing Paranoia or 1e Tomb of Horrors, I definitely expect and even want death on the table. I guess the more I think of it, the more complex the issue really is below the surface. I mean, it wouldn't keep me from playing in and enjoying a game. Far from it. I seek companionship and fun with friends more than a specific gaming experience, if that makes sense. So I guess it all boils down to: [B]Maybe, sometimes, kinda.[/B] [/QUOTE]
