Multiple viewpoint characters all engaging with the same continuing story that doesn’t end simply because one character is no longer the viewpoint character.Now, apply that to D&D. The game isn’t about your character. The game is about the group. The story isn’t about your character. The story is about the group’s adventures. The game/story doesn’t end if or when your character dies. It continues on with or without you and your character. But the story is changed in your character’s passing. You as a player can engage with the story of the group and want to see how it plays out...by continuing to play using a different character, something cheesy like a brother or cousin, or a whole new character, or having your dead character raised.But that’s the point, really. It’s not about your character. It’s about the group. I mean, we literally get an example of this in Lord of the Rings. Boromir dies…and suddenly, his brother…with a similar name…suddenly becomes an important character.</blockquote>
