[QUOTE="Ahglock, post: 3857948, member: 56725"] You live under the threat of death right now. You may not be running around and crying oh god no I might die, but guess what eventually you will die, your friends and family will die as well. You know this, we all know this, its part of life, eventually you die. For me the threat of death has to exist in the game or it loses to much touch with life. I'd feel like I was in a crappy Ann Rice novel. As for comics, novels, movies it depends on the genre. Many books, comics, etc we know the hero wont die in the comic as long as its profitable, but they do a good job of emotionally tricking you into thinking the risk is there. More pulp adventure style genres don't bother, Indiana Jones you never even think about it. Cop shows and movies, mafia movies, harder action movies they do there best to create the feeling that the threat of death is there. I don't expect everyone to like the type of game I play and run, I do hope that there are adequate rules to cover multiple styles of play in 4e including mine. [/QUOTE]
