Erm, did you guys forget that Kiyoshi is still in the room...?

Only character of mine I don't want killed is Forest.  Simply because she's Landlady and sort of a mediator too.  However it doesn't mean I don't want to see the shit get beat out of her on occasion.

However Lancer and Dark Archer are game for the choir eternal if it happens.

I don't want any of mine to die, honestly, I'm too attached to them and I would hate to see Sakura get hurt like that....

Them getting harmed is OK, though, although I would rather nothing permanent.

Sorta, yeah. Mind you he couldn't have done much.


Also, being that attached to a character is a problem. I should run you through the Tomb of Horrors a few times. That should solve the problem.

He could have spoken up at least.

How long have you known me...?

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Long enough to know that the horrible demise of every PC you make and care about is the only cure for this. PC death is a beautiful and natural thing. You need to accept this.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

By the die, and the Gygax, and the luck of the roll, Amen.

This isn't a standard RP, though, and I didn't make these characters for it specifically, so it's different. These characters have actual backstory and I have real attachment to them.

I was like that too, few years ago. And then, I met Rogue Trader.

The joy to play successively a Slaaneshi Painboy, a Blind Kroot with unending hunger (This one ate two PCs before trying Lictor meat in a frenzy. Ended up as fucked up as a Chaos Spawn),  and my good ol' Guardsman chick who died in a mighty last stand facing a veritable army of (six) drunk Snotlings. 

These guys all had a great backstory, but I laughed my butt off when they reached their last moments.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, but, again, this is different. These aren't RP characters, these are characters I made up to use in a story or copied from Nasu. There's no way I'm willing to just let them die.

[lantzblades]

The game is fundamentally about interaction and development. It is not a table top RPG where there is risk and reward where characters can or should die from minor skirmishes. The premise is far removed from a game system where random chance wins the day so really the rest of you should stop treating it like a p&p RPG.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, this.

This isn't meant to be a D&D-style RPG where your characters can be thrown away without thought. Our characters here have real development and personalities. If part of that development involves them dying then fine, but it should be our decision, rather than having it forced on us by other players.

[lantzblades]

Even D&D is intended to be cooperative. Player versus player stuff is honestly more of an online gaming concept.

[Daiki]

Don't you guys ever laugh or something? The point is to relax a bit.

I really don't care if you want to persist with it or not. Just wanted to better the mood, but I guess that was clearly pointless.

[lantzblades]

Sorry daiki that didn't come across. And yes I laugh rather easily but I've said it before this fight was pointless and Arch is not someone I enjoy dealing with period so I'm not exactly in the mood to chuckle dude.

[Cherry Lover]

You know, Magos, Kiyoshi's swords aren't normal, they have anti-spirit properties and can cut better than a normal sword could. I'm not sure how exactly he would end up just slashing a bit of muscle like you're claiming he did....

How the fuck was I supposed to know that?

EDIT: Oh, it's hidden in a corner of his profile under other abilities. Huh.

He's still 11 though, so that shouldn't have had enough force to do much more than just scrape the bone.
