I feel for you, Fion. I really do.
Ahem, once again I present the idea of a tragic death or self-sacrifice to the jury of geeks who undoubtely will rush to this thread in the morning and following days. I feel that the idea merits discussion, as although the concept is ageless and crystallised in hero myths and the like, where from traditional rpg stories summon their themes, it has not yet been used well at all in rpgs.
I'd like K3 to change that.
