[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 6485602, member: 12630"] I, and my group, don't equate winning everything to a good time. I've had many groups over the years (I move a lot in the military) and many of my friends that I still keep in touch with still talk about some epic character deaths. It was never a slaughter fest, but a character dying has never been taboo or something that automatically meant that someone wasn't having fun. The fun has always been getting together with friends and enjoying a great shared story. Sometimes people die in stories. I'm sure Boromir's player didn't pack up and leave in tears when he died. He's probably still talking about his epic death saving the halflings to this day. :D It's ok though, I have different expectations from a game than you do. But you keep stating that characters getting killed is taboo or unfun for the players as a matter of fact when it isn't. It's what you, and I assume your players, expect from a game but not a universal truth. [/QUOTE]
