The simple fact is, I've never killed a PC, the dice have.

People don't kill people, guns kill people. No, wait...

I think the Rat Bastard is not about killing PCs, but putting them in highly ucnomfortble positions- morally, socally maybe physically.

The campaign I play in - we are somewhere in between. I am sure the plot and character development are central, but we also play in a setting where only very few priests have access to Raise or Rez. We have had few character deaths.

I enjoy the "you might die" edge plus the "no-Raise/Rez".

I would also find a "PC death a session" boring and too videogamish.

As a DM character death usualy puts a major kink in the plot-line.
It is hard enough doing the session 1 - get the characters together w/o trying to figure out how Jake's new character meets up w/ the party and fits in.

There have been many deaths in the game in which i play...the same person keeps dying, but he takes it in stride and has fun with new character ideas.

The home brew world i play in doesn't have any means of resurrection.

Clearly I'm never going to make my players devour their own character sheets in horrified frustration

Sig worthy. Consider it yoinked.

once you realize that as the DM you can kill the players off at any time the the game actually begins.
