Stumbled across this article earlier, I’m of the opinion that while reading provides you with a wider background of items & situations to choose from, the single best thing that improves GMing is being able to retailor a story to suit your player’s needs at a moment’s notice; basically being a better improv writer.

What are your thoughts?

PC Death is always a sticky subject. Borimir from LOTR is brought up as an example of character death driving the plot forward, but in a group setting, death just sometimes doesn’t jive. This is especially relevant to story games, where death is either a 5 minute break while you do another playbook up, or takes you out completely from the current story.

I know it’s been covered a bit on the podcast, but what are feelings on character death, both from our game runners, and from players? Is death the easy way out, or is it a harsh enough punishment? I’m hoping to get some of our non-talkative members to respond to this one, as I’m curious for as many opinions as possible.

Why would I kill you? That would only end your suffering.
