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?
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?
[RMVX ACE] [Battle Symphony] Problem with Enemy Character Add-on
I'm having a problem with Yami's Battle Symphony and the Enemy Character Add-on.
If you're unfamiliar with these scripts, they can be found here:
https://github.com/suppayami/rmvxa-collection/tree/master/battle-symphony and then go into "add-ons" for the other one.
The battle symphony seems to work fine, but the enemy character add-on only seems to half work. I can get a custom enemy sprite to show up, but they don't swing a weapon. I'm not sure of the issue, since I think I have the notetag right. In fact, this is what my page looks like:
But that redhead sure doesn't want to swing a sword...
Here's a demo/test file that has everything in it.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4oj7f2zi710taxe/BattleSymphonyTest.exe
Basically, when the girl attacks, she should swing a little sword.
Any suggestions?

[RMVX ACE] Holder Animated Enemies? Where are they?
Does anyone have a copy of Holders Animated Battlers Enemies they can post and/or direct me to? It looks like the links for his enemies are broken on his original page and his last blog post, in August, says that he's taking some time off. You know, ethics and niceness and all, I'd like to download them directly from him and support his site/advertisers/etc., but man - every link is dead! And even resource threads on rpgmaker-related websites are down when you click on the enemies (the pets and heroes work though).
I'm just getting into putting together my next game and I'm switching over to a side battle system. And I'm having trouble finding good enemies - I'm hoping to track these down! Thanks!

[RMVX ACE] Need some bust help - have the bust, have the emoset.
I need some light photoshop (i think) help that is just beyond my ability.
I have the bust below:
And emosets:
But I am not able to put the emotion faces onto the bust, and have a set of 8 busts with the appropriate emotions.
It looks like it should be easy, but the hair color doesn't match up exactly and my edits look bad. Can someone help?
Please reply here or PM me and I can send you the full image files.
