Ok, you seen that bit now? Awesome! Here we go.
- Your +3 War-axe of disemboweling [If only that
existed] got sundered?
Get a mace and crush some stuff, maybe work with story teller towards adjusting any weapon specific abilities. Even start a MIGHTY QUEST for an epic new axe.
- Evil Lich zapped you for -2 levels or perma stat damage?
Have fun playing feeble for a while, lean on shoulders and hit up your fellow players for in-game support. Make some 'dumb' decisions (just for a short time) to demonstrate your sudden loss of intelligence. Perhaps negotiate a way to gain extra experience with your story teller through extra role-play or amazing acts of craziness/heroism.
- Character death. I have to caution against a knee-jerk reaction to make
something to fill your previous characters void, or investigate their death. It
drags out things that possibly shouldn't be dragged out, and can leave you
stunted in the scheme of the overall game. Apart from that have fun conceptualising,
building and working towards a new character which you can bring into the game.
Look at what’s around you and try to find something that will fit in. You could
try causing some (small) waves that build extra story for the group.
- In regards to LARP, don’t worry too much about possible loss in usage for costumes or props. There will always be new uses for stuff, maybe by you or maybe by your friends. At the end of the day setbacks are just that, a setback, not the end of the world.
This is obviously very brief, but you get the picture. Take your setbacks or losses and use them to help build yourself into a better player. Or, if you are already an awesome player, use it to just experiment. Why not? Do it for science!
