[QUOTE="DestroyYouAlot, post: 4026886, member: 36618"] Just thought I'd poke my head in with a quick anecdote. Ran B/X D&D for a new group, tonight - two long-time roleplayers (one of whom played in my campaign last year, one whom hadn't roleplayed for about a decade), and all three of our SOs, none of whom had ever roleplayed before. (One is an avid WoW player, where I understand death means "you might lose some of your stuff.") I had everybody roll up 3 PCs, as I made it clear (this being 1st level, old-school D&D) that some of their PCs likely wouldn't be making it; no one (including the WoW player) batted an eye. (My girlfriend, in particular, has told me to "bring it on." :D ) (As an aside, while my lady was somewhat subdued - she's kinda knocked out with a sinus infection and the attendant drugs - the other two girls, at the close of the session, immediately DEMANDED to know when we were doing this next, and had to be dissuaded from having us play ON VALENTINE'S DAY. I'd call the experiment a success. ;) ) First time I kill a PC, I'll make sure and duck in to post reactions. [/QUOTE]
