[QUOTE="zarionofarabel, post: 9757922, member: 7026405"] Well that would be the essence of the "life goes on" story. The PC has lost everything they care about, what new things can they find to care about? Which are often some of the most powerful and uplifting stories you can encounter. I guess, like someone else said previously, it's whether or not people see their PCs as disposable. I never do, even if it is a game with high lethality. Sure, the PC faces the possibility of death, but that doesn't mean they don't value being alive. They may even sacrifice themselves for a cause, but it better be something that is truly worthy of that sacrifice. Perhaps that is why I don't feel tension in a combat encounter unless my PCs life is in danger. An immortal PC doesn't need to value their life, as it is never in danger. That is too much of a disconnect from reality for me, as IRL, life is valuable because it can end at any time, so time is precious. [/QUOTE]
