Live and let Die was: [[HOE] When Do you know...]

["Rob Dake" <robdake@hotmail.com>]

I care deeply for my friends and thier well being.  But you know what.  If 
my buddy wants his character to stick his head outta that hole to see whats 
making the noise, I got no problems with cutting it off.  Yes they are the 
Hero's.  Its their job to live and die.  Some more gracefully than others 
though.  I feel like I"m not doing my job if characters dont die sometimes.  
I run a lot of L5R at cons for AEG, and I don't feel like I've done a good 
job if I've not killed at least one or 2 of the characters in the party.  
Novice or experienced, dead is dead.

Subject: [HOE] When Do you know...

     Just simply enough, when do you know it is the
right time to let a character die?  (and I don't mean
NPC's)  I have been in some scenario's where I was
pretty sure that a PC's character was going to die if
I continued on with the characters malevolent
destruction.  I back off though, maybe that is the
problem.  Would someone please give me some advice in
case they get into another skirmish.  There is a main
battle coming up; honestly, I expect at least one of
them to die.  I want them all to finish and complete
the story, but...
Could I get some advice please?
         Thanks a bunch,  Mark.  :)
