[QUOTE="molonel, post: 3369611, member: 10412"] Party death is certainly part of the story. I've been through my fair share of TPKs. But when either party death or resurrection are too common, it has the potential to ruin the story or feel that the DM/GM is trying to create or nurture. Death really isn't part of continuity, though. Part of the story? Part of the risk? Absolutely. Part of the spectrum that allows the story to continue? Not unless you use Ghostwalk. The flip side of that coin was, "Gosh, Bob was a great character. Good backstory, excellent roleplaying. Too bad that orc accidentally critted him with the axe. Oh well. Sucks to be him. And oh look! It's Bob 2!" A revolving door of characters can start to feel like a medieval Paranoia game. (I like Paranoia, by the way. Just not in my D&D.) We'll see. I'll be interested in see how you handle it in your online game. [/QUOTE]
