When you play this kind of game IMO you should treat it as watching a horror movie: you just know that many are going to die, so a major part of the fun is in finding out how. The trick is not to get attached to your PC, should you be required to create a new one when you least expect it.On the other hand, I do not want to alienate players who do get attached to their PCs, and I can too enjoy a game where you are supposed to develop your PC's story and character to the fullest.Eventually, the problem for me is that I cannot tolerate the middle ground, and the majority of rule systems and gaming groups do exactly that, for fear of making too much of an extreme choice.</blockquote>
