My group lost it's first member today, so technically it's my first kill. Of course, I've lost a lot of chars in return, so it's only fair...but I still feel a sense of regret.
My question to all is - how did you feel as a GM when you killed your first PC? I know this may be reaching way back into antiquity, and may not be an original thread, but I'm still curious. Doc Mortand |
