But this is worse when I'm GM.As a player, if I took my time to create an interesting character with a theme I want to run and he just dies very fast - I hate it for two reasons: I didn't get to have fun with given theme and I hate re-runs and clones - which means that this route is closed for me for some time.If my character dies after I've had a lot fun with him it's OK - I lost a char, but I get to make a new one.As GM I find it hard to keep characters of my players motivated to stay on given task while promoting logic and independency. You spend time giving incentive for PC's to form a group, they slowly meet important people, the puzzle fits in place... And then Glasuuvius dies, and it's like: "So... here's Gary. *hello Gary!* He's a re-ro..., I mean he's been hired to help you with your task." I find this... irritating.As a fellow gamer - it's very similar to both above. I like to roleplay, and my characters are often obstructive. I love to build a bond with others, where our characters can depend on each other but also quarrel. Sometimes I base my slightly evil character on being mitigated by good leader within group.(example - look what kinds of <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Belkar pulled (ie gnome merchant) when Roy died ;-P ). So when other character dies I feel like I've lost a lot of character building. But it's least upsetting to me, personally.</blockquote>
