[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8270176, member: 87792"] Which is why I mentioned in the very comment you are replying to how e.g. Warhammer Fantasy has a much more interesting system of consequences - but you chose to trim that. Players definitely try to avoid mutations. And I mentioned in a slightly tongue in cheek way Fate and Marvel Heroic Roleplaying as both being grittier than D&D because both games, while being far from gritty, have defined mechanical consequences that aren't death. In the space of two consecutive posts therefore I mentioned three games that do consequences better than the specific old school D&D consequences I was criticising - and explained why the old school D&D consequences were a particularly tedious and annoying way of doing them (they take you backwards rather than forward). I have therefore literally been pointing out better ways, making your complaint about having things both ways ironic. [/QUOTE]
