I try to avoid killing off player characters in #dnd / #ttrpg campaigns. Player character death only lasts until the next character is created (or someone casts "Raise Dead").

But player character _embarrassment_ - now THAT lives for ever! Especially when it is self-inflicted! 😁

@juergen_hubert so very very true. The reminders can last years!

@juergen_hubert my DM paid me (lunch) to kill a PC that was annoying the party. I then played his new character like a fiddle and kept humiliating him until he changed his attitude.

@N0NAM I see this kind of problem as something that should be discussed out of character. Ultimately, both GM and players are working together to create a great story, and if one player doesn't cooperate, then the players and the GM should work the problems out outside of the actual game.

@juergen_hubert yeah, PC Death is very much the least interesting consequence from a narrative perspective.

@juergen_hubert I am a firm believer the GM should never kill PCs; that's the PCs' job.

Also, then you can't see what they can live through.
