[quote=Kidd] Oh, wow. This is some good insight. [/quote] The human condition is an interesting thing and a very useful every day tool... Especially for game masters! :sun One more note: A lot of people also, to some extent, hero worship and/or author port part of themselves into their character. So it's doubly painful for them when the character dies: Their hero died, or a piece of themselves. Usually pretty miserable, too. So I don't get angry... It's an understandable reason to dislike death, just not a valid one. :hehe
