[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 4025774, member: 29398"] My games go on, once started, for a very long time; and I don't pull punches. Thus, even if your character is played cautiously and is reasonably lucky, sooner or later the odds will almost certainly catch up with it. I say almost certainly, because there was one noteworthy exception: the very first character in my Telenet game went through a 7-year 25-adventure career without dying. No other character in any of our games (mine or others, 1e or 3e) has got beyond half that, though a few have got into their 13th adventure before dying. The main reason I put the warning in, however, is actually not to hammer home the certainty of death, but to warn players that Bad Things can and will happen to their characters. This way, if there's tantrums later over a dead or otherwise unhappy character, I need only point to the warning... (I've had players in the past where this has come in *very* handy) Lanefan [/QUOTE]
