[QUOTE="Blue, post: 4062654, member: 20564"] I feel you may be overly pedantic in dismissing the wish for "risk". Yes, the whole game is an effort of imagination, but within the framework of the story there is a place for risk. Saying that it is just a game is just playing with words - of course it's a game, but within the game we would like to encounter chances to fail, such that we get feeling of accomplishment and to make the rewards sweeter. In a good movie or book, characters get into "risky" situation. Yes, it's a form of entertainment and they will most likely survive and succeed, but not always. I remember reading George R.R. Martin and loving how there was "real" risk for the characters I did. and I also read how a group of fourth level characters took down an 11th level solo monster - one that's supposed to fight an entire party of paragon level players by itself. If that's the threat that the DM is throwing them against, only one death is vastly low. Cheers, =Blue(23) [/QUOTE]
