If you want to run a game where resurrection isnt available thats fine, but dismissing the very idea of it as video-gamey and merely a quality of games where setting and roleplaying isnt important and all that matters is dungeoneering and hack and slash, isnt cool at all.Its fantasy.  Fantastic things happen.  Greek heroes travelled to Hades to retrieve loved ones.  That wasnt video-gamey.  Neither is a powerfull spellcaster using mighty magic to raise a comrade back to life.</blockquote>
