In-game death

In-game death is a story event where a character is treated as having died within the fiction, with consequences that vary widely between games.

In-game death is when your character is treated as having died in the story. You are still at the event; it is the character whose story has ended. Some games make death permanent, so you make a new character. Others allow resurrection, a number of lives, or a period while you are down when someone can still save you. What causes death and what happens next depends entirely on your game's rules. They also touch on safety, such as how to lie or kneel when you are down so you are not stepped on in a busy fight, so check the rulebook and listen to the safety brief.
