The outcomes are the results of whole series of decisions you’ve made. Sure, random chance plays a role, but it is a secondary role to your own decisions. All of your actions are calculated risks (though I suppose maybe less calculated if your DM isn’t forthcoming with important information like DCs and potential consequences; that I could certainly see making deaths feel much more random).I think it comes down to what we’re looking for from the game. You want to contribute to a narrative that the group constructs together. I want to exercise agency within a fictional space. The possibility of unexpected character death undermines your ability to construct a satisfying narrative, while the impossibility of the same undermines my sense of agency.</blockquote>
