For example, dying in an RPGA game in 3.x was a major hassle. I did everything I could to keep my character alive, choosing my fights instead of just charging in, and considered surviving a module more important than actually winning in it.If I saw players at the table doing stupid stuff that was risking getting my character killed, I tended to get short with them really quick and would metagame to get them to cut it out and pay attention.In our home campaigns when I played, it's a little different. Dying is a hassle, but it may not be the end-all outcome like it could be in a regimented campaign in the RPGA. The same player who makes a doofus move in the home campaign doesn't bother me as much if he gets my character killed, because I can roll with it and keep on going.On another take, I don't want to play the same character for years and years on end. Once I get them up there in levels and the DM is done with the campaign, it's time to retire. I feel as a more well-rounded player and gamer if I get to try other things, new games, and new character types so my typical character length is about a year to two years.</blockquote>
