Character death can be a game-changing experience for everyone at your table. in this episode, we talk about how to kill players and NPCs in a way that adds to the game rather than taking away from it. Some of the ideas we share to name a few in the episode are, Making them meaningful by playing music and setting the tone (use spotlight), messaging privately, or taking a player aside beforehand if death is imminent to prepare them for it, asking your DM to see if character death is right for your party (setting up incredible story beats with your DM out of sessions can make profound roleplay moments and stroy driven deaths), when is it potentially Taboo; To kill or not to kill?, planning out character deaths, VS unexpected instances and the pros and cons, when a player is ready to say goodbye to a character there are other options than just killing them, when to revive or not to revive, how your world changes after a loss (NPCs, Politics, Etc), dying in combat VS Dying out of combat and how to roleplay each,  exploring why shouldn't kill a players character if that player isn't there (without speaking to them first), and so much more!
