[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 8957809, member: 6684958"] Game Example: The players all make elves and Pete makes his character the prince. Pete's backstory is his father treats him like a 'kid' and he wants to be seen as an adult. They come up with a plan that lets some goblins into the castle. The goblins steal a lore gem and get away. The The player characters, prince and his companions, jump up to "get it back" : after all they hired the goblins to steal it. So they head off on the quest to "find" the goblins and get the lore gem back. Not too shockingly the goblins betray them In the fight though.....the elf prince player character is killed. Now what? The "whole game" revolved around the story of that elf prince, so what do the other character do? Well, the players don't just quit and say "game over". They keep going. Pete rejoins the game as a helpful feed prisoner of the goblins character. But what does the group do? Go back to the kingdom? Return the gem and the princes body? Tell the king what happened on the surface? Tell the king the Whole story about how they and the prince set everything up from the start? Do they just run? There is lots of drama here, that only comes because of character death. [/QUOTE]
