the most grotesque death...

[JLV]

Sadly, that last part seems to defeat the purpose of RPGs. Odds are, that girl never played again, in any form. And that's too bad.

Generally I strive to maintain a more welcoming or inclusive atmosphere, and if someone is genuinely upset about something, we talk it over and try to negotiate a solution. Of course, when we were in our teens, we were a bit less concerned about that sort of thing, until a similar situation cropped up in one of our games in about 1981 or so (different RPG) and we realized that we were being the ultimate murder hobos instead of being the "heroes" of our RPG. At that point our play style ... um ... "matured" a bit, I guess. ;-)
