::::: Tome of Horrors is terrible for the game. It promotes a lack of investment in PCs, a PC vs. DM mentality, a distrust of the game, and a disconnect between players and their characters. It's bad for the game for these reasons and others. I'd say the same about this. Of course, if you think PCs should be created and thrown away paranoia-style, that PCs and DMs should be fighting it out and screwing each other over on purpose, that PCs should fear every tile they step on and that anything could kill them at a moment's notice, and that they shouldn't relate in any way to their characters because they're going to be gone by the next session anyway, then both this and the Tome of Horrors are excellent for promoting that kind of system.
::::: But that's not the kind of system I think it is best for a healthy game, and it's what Tome of Horrors (and these rules to a certain extent) actively promotepromotes. --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] ([[User talk:Ghostwheel|talk]]) 10:58, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
