In this episode, Robert Walker, author of 'Sessions Zero: The DMG to Writing Great Campaigns in Any System,' explores the emotional impact and psychology behind character death in tabletop role-playing games. He delves into the concept of willful suspension of disbelief, originally discussed by Samuel Coleridge, and why it plays a crucial role in how players experience grief and loss during gameplay. Walker offers insights on managing these emotions, fostering meaningful character deaths, and suggests practical tips for Dungeon Masters to incorporate these moments into their campaigns effectively while providing hope and continuity for players. The episode emphasizes the importance of using role-playing as a tool for practicing real-life emotional experiences and highlights the balance between narrative immersion and player enjoyment.
