Finding Atoria
TTRPG Pet Peeves and Character Death
Arcadia gets to ref this episode. Tori leads off with a list of gaming pet peeves from both sides of the table. Most of the items on that list boil down to just being aware that you're playing a collaborative game; be courteous to your fellow players and to the GM. The GM and the players are not opposing forces; it shouldn't be adversarial. Also, take the time to look at your character sheet! It will have the info you need to play the game and now slow down the game play for your fellow players. Malcolm comes back from break to talk about PC death. This can be highly emotional for all involved and should be discussed during Session Zero., which can really help mitigate issues before they happen and so everyone knows what to expect. Player character death is something that can happen and should be taken seriously by everyone at the table. There's always the chance that it can happen and it can even be a good thing at times. However, it needs to be a conversation had before the game even starts so both players and GM know how to handle it so that everyone is still enjoying the game. May your dice never roll a 1 on a death saving throw...
