Tim,

I think that there is a world of difference between running a game for a 'regular' group and a convention game.

Yes. I that's a fair point. I was thinking of convention games. Not that I've killed off anyone in my ongoing games except for the one occasion when the player asked for it, literally, because she wanted a new character. I think I've described that here previously.

I'd be loath to kill off one character in a convention game simply because what's the player going to do for the rest of the session.

Well, Steve (Ellis) in his have a go at assassinating the Emperor game for example, makes it clear it is not acceptable for player on player killing until the last hour - for just that reason.

When I've felt unwell, I've occasionally thought about asking the referee to kill me so I could retire - and so he could 'encourage' the others!

I'd happily kill the lot of them to wrap up the game.

LOL! Maybe I should try it once. Just to see the looks!

Regular group games are a different mater entirely.

Thanks for the TravCon write-up and great to see you there.

Thank you and good to see you too. I'm sorry I couldn't play in your game.
