Also, player meta-knowledge about characters sort of ruins it, too.As literature, that's different.But as a setting, I see the important parts of swords and sorcery being that the players are the underdogs, and mostly engaging in small scale struggles. Would that make the players think existential things? Maybe. But I think it is more likely to trigger thoughts of managing dwindling resources and other small scale things of the sort that usually preclude that sort of thinking. Perhaps after the adventure is over.</blockquote>
