[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 8956584, member: 42582"] What RPG are you talking about? In D&D, depending on edition there are many different things that might happen when a PC with 10 hp suffers 20 hp of damage. My favourite version of D&D is 4e, and in that version the PC in question is knocked unconscious and has to make death saves. What do you mean by "running a group through an adventure", in this context? Are we assuming railroading by the GM? That all the scenes to be framed are known in advance? As [USER=7028372]@Irlo[/USER] posted, I don't know how these two things are related. I've never heard of a RPG in which the PCs always succeed, and I don't really know what you have in mind by that. I have played RPGs in which the default orientation is that PCs don't die - I'm thinking of MHRP, Prince Valiant (that I mentioned upthread), Cthulhu Dark (unless the PCs try to fight a shoggoth or similar creature), etc. These are not RPGs in which the PCs always succeed. What RPG system are you talking about? I assume some version of D&D, played in a broadly 1980s-but-not-DL style. [/QUOTE]
