How to deal with DnD player character death and why you should embrace it.
In her role as Dungeon Master of the D20 Deathmatch channel Caustic Phoenix has seen more character deaths than almost anyone on the planet. She shares her insights on what a strong narrative tool character death is and how to approach it. New and experienced Dungeon Masters, as well as any player will find these insights helpful.
Caustic talks about: ◽️ Setting expectations around character deaths at the start of a campaign ◽️ Character death as a narrative tool ◽️ The Impact of character death on players ◽️ Letting go of characters and their stories ◽️ The risk of weakening a story by avoiding character deaths.
Plus, together we explore a regular segment called "In a World".
