I was upset that alphonse didnt die after sacrificing himself at the end of brotherhood. I was equally upset when ed sacrificed himself at the bones adaptation and he ended up seeing his brother anyways in the movie.
How about if you and karen both die. Will it satisfy you then? Or must your character be rey from star wars before youre satisfied. I see no little difference between a narrative and an rp. If you sacrifice actual consequences and gain artificial immortality. Then what kind of narrative are you...
Im not saying to shoehorn in death in your farmers market rps. But I see people wanting to play rps that have combat with the assurance that they cant die no matter what
Most of your frustration is based on assumption. You ask a gm if you can rejoin if you die before playing lol.
As for a gm killing you with a random rock. That is hyperbolic, but also something no competant gm would do. As the gm, you can spawn a million dick monsters to fuck your players, bur...
You couldnt be more wrong. Sure there are people who only focus on the process, but a good gm cares about his players and his plot equally. Ive never once made a plot point that wasnt based on what my players were looking to explore. So to simply write off table top rpgs as being less...
I don't think either of you has ever played a table top game. There's just as much, if not more wieght on the gm to not only be fair, but to make an encounter challenging. The difference between fun and challenging is razor thin if you care about your encounters.
But I ask, why are you so...
Now I'm not a bundle of optimism. I've had moments where I was like, "why try if these rp's die right after I make my character"? So my attachment to characters is lesser than my attachment to plots and ooc chatter. But I've noticed this even in DnD videos: people hate character death.
But why...
I'd love to have a story where my character legit kills him or herself due to grief. But none of the rp's I've played in ever got past the introduction phase for 2 years.
Is this why you dont like cynical writing. Because everyone in this thread is as cynical as you can get lol. Sheesh. You cant tell a story with a kid because people think your posts will be construed as pedophilia.

I feel the same way about romance, yuri, yoai, and realistic rps. It's fine if you dont want to rp something. You just tell them thats not your bag and move on
