This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Zachary The FirstWhat if we don't mind it, but don't really see a need for it, either?

If you believe this, the terrorists have already won!

Actually, I feel the same as you regarding this....I doubt I'd use it, but if I can work around it...no biggie...

The point of the death rule was in part to make it a gamble to proceed in chargen further in the hope of getting a better character.

As such it made chargen itself a game, and I rather like it as a rule.

So I'm glad they're keeping it, we use it in our Classic Traveller game and if I buy this we'll likely use it in this.

I never played Classic Traveller, but I used to hear stories about how characters died in chargen and used to think "Wow... tough game!"

Once I actually read the rules, I realised what a non-issue the whole thing really is.  So you can die in chargen... big deal?  It's not like you are forced to play the game using the dead character.  "Oh, sorry Bob.  Your character died.... I guess it's going to be a quiet campaign for you! *snicker*"  Take a few extra minutes and start rolling another one!

WTF!

Some settings would be awesome playing a dead character.

Some settings you DO play a dead character.
