Dealing with death as a plot point?
I've run into a narrative cul-de-sac, and I wanted to know how other people deal with it:
In a standard RPG, there are things that recover from the death state (e.g., phoenix down, stay at inn, raise spell, etc.). How do you explain the death of NPCs? Couldn't someone just use a phoenix down on them and raise them up again? Or take them to the inn? If this is brought up in the narrative, how is this discrepancy dealt with?
I need to kill off some NPCs, but I'm struggling with why my team of heroes won't just use a bunch of phoenix downs on them and call it a day...
I'm sure this has been discussed before, so if someone has a link to that discussion, that's fine too.

Windows 10? Should I update?
Good call on signing up for the download and holding off on the install.
I was afraid that registering for it would be an automatic update-kind-of-deal, where one day I'd turn off my computer and POOF I'd suddenly have Windows 10. Durr... that's not how computers work!
Just paranoid. Because I know firefox, word, excel, and my other programs will surely work in Windows 10 (or there is an army of people to get them to work). But if I started vxace and it didn't work, I'd freak.
I'm on 7 right now, and I'm happy with it.

Windows 10? Should I update?
Are people signing up for that free upgrade to Windows 10? It sounds like a good deal, but I don't want it to brick VXACE. Will vxace be compatible?
Azenite: Worlds Collide
But, what happened?? This game looked gorgeous! I hope it got cancelled because the dev got picked up to do something else bigger and better!
Black and Ethnic Face-sets Kickstarter has launched!
It would be so great if you could make one bust for each character too. Think about that as a stretch goal!
I think this is a great project and the example portfolios are very impressive. Good luck!
