[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8292184, member: 86653"] Yes. And it is. By having an interesting story to engage with through play. That’s infinitely more meaningful than a spendable game token or a temporary bonus. Conflict creates story. Without conflict there’s no story. Sure, but without a bit of adversity or challenge or difficulty, there’s no point in playing. It’s boring to just win all the time. I’d say not having challenges is more boring than missing a turn here and there. Of course you do. In game you can run away. Out of game you can talk to the DM. Knowing ahead of time that the characters are relatively fragile at lower levels should lead players to make backup characters, just in case. It is a game after all. The dice may not go your way. Then why go out and adventure? Why get into all those fights? I think you’re over emphasizing how precious most players are about their characters. D&D is literally a fantasy adventure game. If you don’t want fantasy adventures you’re playing the wrong game. [/QUOTE]
