Character death in TTRPGs! 🎲
Do your GMs/DMs usually “pull punches” to avoid killing characters, or do they let the dice fall where they may? Why or why not?

In our latest session, we faced a character death. As GM, I did everything I could to keep them in the game (for a particular reason) —was I right to intervene, or should fate have taken its course? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

🔥 A Hero’s Death, A Campaign’s Twilight… 🔥

Things are reaching a breaking point in Twilight of the Old Order! One of our heroes has already fallen (episode not yet posted), and the stakes have never been higher.

As we march toward the grand finale (~180 episodes strong!), we’re planning a special post-campaign Epilogue Session in mid/late Nov 2025 (TBC). We’ll look back on the story, answer your questions, and maybe even open the Discord chat so viewers can join the conversation live.

👉 Got burning questions about the story, the characters, or the villains? Drop them below!
👉 Want to join the epilogue chat? Let us know!
