How to Handle Player Character Deaths as a Game Master | Art of the Game

[@zellak-pr7pu]

Historically soldiers died of wounds a couple of days after the battle....it happened a lot.
So what if you rule that a failed death save is a mortal wound.
The character is incapacitated
And roll again every day after that to see if they survive another day.
This has not been playtested, just an idea.
i run a Greek Mythos ShadowDark campaign i call " Hoplites " for 7 players at my wargames club.
Nice vid.

Rub some dirt on it and walk it off.
If you’re battling an adversary you have no hope of defeating consider it a teaching moment.
