Games are meant to be fun, not CSI:Greyhawk (as someone said earlier in the thread - that is unless a CSI themed D&D game is what you're playing<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />). Over worrying about keeping your character alive just seems to suck all of the fun out of it (IMO of course). When it's real bombs and real bullets, there's no such thing as too careful or too paranoid, and it's not meant to be fun. There's no such things as healing potions and resurection spells, and you definitely don't get to just make another character sheet after being FUBAR'd.  (Just my $.02, from someone who's been there.)</blockquote>
