Character death is an inevitable part of the tabletop RPG experience, but it's a topic that often sparks controversy and fear among players. Whether it's a planned sacrifice or an unexpected twist of fate, the loss of a beloved character can be a difficult pill to swallow. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we dive into the world of character death in tabletop RPGs, joined by special guest Wolf from the Seattle LARP Grounds. Join us as we discuss how to prepare for and handle both planned and unplanned character deaths, and gain valuable insights on coming back from the brink of defeat.

Special thanks to @pugmonzz for this week's question of the week.

Special thanks to Asher Ely of the Critical Fails Podcast on the Monsterizer winner assist.
