[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9323102, member: 93670"] I think you are confusing if a player cares about having their PC die and how they handle the death of their PC after it happens. Imo they are distinct things. Without getting into which parts of your list that I do or don't agree with and why I'll say that I mostly agree those kinds of things are often demonstrated by a player who doesn't care if their PC lives or dies & doesn't try to influence the odds there in play... It is however entirely possible for a player to care about their PC's survival & take steps to influence the odds there but then be capable of rolling with the punches in a way that is just win some lose some when [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q8bVPpc84A']catastrophic failure[/URL] happens. IME It's not so common to find notable problem players among players who roll with the punches & just shrug off the death as a chance to make something new or be pleasant for a bit while confident in knowledge that death in d&d is very much a revolving door that is easy to recover from. Players who refuse to accept that PC death can happen & react poorly when it does tend to slide towards a very different direction on the venn diagram of player types. [/QUOTE]
