Most points of why Rp's die has been addressed, I touch on those and several others here - [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/127735-gming-101/ooc]Gming 101[/url], as well as some ways to correct it. The biggest thing is not why an Rp dies but when it dies is the person looking at it objectively to find the moment it went to hell and needed life support. Reason I say this is because if you can't look at it that way and find the reason you can't learn. You can't change what went wrong and are just bound to make the same mistakes over and over again. (Which I have seen happen countless times with some GM's. It is the same 1 thing every time one of their rps' goes to that large RP Grave Yard.)
