Senior Woodchuck: Aug 29, 2006; When you're lost out there and you're all alone, a light is waiting to carry you home

oh no, poor Deatharm

So when you die in DnD, that is it? You just have to scrap the character you have been working on? god drat that is harsh. What if your character dies while playing with one group of people, can you use that character if you play with a different group? Or will that ruin your DnD cred?

DnD culture fascinates me, keep up the good work Zack and Steve!

I know that in 3.5, there are spells that can bring you back from the dead (usually at some amount of XP cost to you and the caster), but they're very high-level and have a lot of prerequisites. And some DMs just ban those spells, as they feel it diminishes the stakes. So, in a lot of cases, dead is indeed dead.

So, Rifts: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/wtf-dnd-rifts.php?page=1

I had never heard of Rifts before today, but just from this article, it sounds like what you'd get if you took a group of 13-year-old nerds, put them in a room with the annual cocaine output of Bolivia, and told them to come up with a game.

In figurative money, I'd say absolutely yes.

If, for instance, you could attach a monetary value to dignity.

What's on the CD?

As I understand it, a truncated version of the 1,000 page monster, and a little DOS character creation program.

Wasn't he a hero, and didn't he get bitten in one of the Marvel Zombies series'?

Yes, and yes.

I wonder if the Romans had to put up with poo poo like this when their empire was on the wane.
