Their value is in the experience we get in play. If we use them up, if they have nothing left to say, or if we no longer have an interest in following this particular fiction there are always more games and more characters. We're on a joyride here. In order to get the most of them we cannot protect them. Sometimes we get 6 sessions. Sometimes 12. Sometimes 100. There's no way to tell and we wouldn't want to if we tried.I have been in games before where we have tried to hold onto the characters and situation well past their expiration date because of the sunk cost fallacy. Like no one was excited about the characters or what was going on. That just going through the motions thing feels like a bad relationship or a dead end job. Ever watch a TV show where they should have ended it like 3 seasons ago?</blockquote>
