BUT....that's the atmosphere I am shooting for not the reality. When PC's lose a character they were having a lot of fun with....the fun stops. Granted, I feel like you NEED to have the life is cheap atmosphere and for that to happen you have to kill off pc's sometimes when they do stupid things or have horrible luck BUT.....I try to let them live if I can and still keep the atmosphere going.I do not like to kill pc's but every player at my table would tell you "He doesn't pull any punches and sometimes seems to love killing us" because I have worked hard to foster this false opinion. In reality 99% of the time I consider it a failure on my part if they die. Even when they do stupid things I often think"I didn't describe that well enough or what the obvious results would be well enough and because of that, got them killed."Now this isnt always the case. Sometimes players are just foolhardy because they either do not care or have a exaggerated opinion of there own abilities.</blockquote>
