Player characters allowed to tell the story versus only GM is allowed to tell the story

Also, difficulty is up for debate. Yes there's a lot more here who do the whole "wannabe author" thing, but then, you have people like Kadaeux, or me, who will at the drop of a pin for making a mistake, and make it a point to that.So, eh', depends on the GM.

Awww, you left me out, honey. No cuddles for you.

But no, if someone did that in my RP, without clearing it ahead of time. I'd go along with it, and then horrible kill the father, and comically kill the player with an oversized, non-flight capable chicken that utilizes a dropkick from behind.

When do you consider an RPG to be "Dead"?

What if the GM gives up in the RP though and the other players are still working on keeping it alive? Would that RP still be considered dead?

Not at all. If it can still keep going, then it's not dead. It's dead when no one is posting in the OOC, the IC, no one is talking about it, and it gets pushed further and further down.

Character Sheet vs. Non-Bio

As a long time arena participant, I prefer to have character sheets. Not only do I like character sheets, as reading material, but people aren't as trustworthy without them in my experience.

Without one, they can easily just start adding things in at whim because there is really nothing to regulate it, causing further scrutiny of character sheets to make sure everything fits within the world, and is acceptable. This can range from weapons and abilities to money.

A character sheet lets you know what they have, and all of that so nothing is slipped in.
