I am in a tabletop roleplaying group... it is a super-hero game and we are having a mental debate with the super-villain who is the most powerfull being in the planet able to summon armies from any point in history... well...

One of the players has a mary sue wannabe character who provoked him.

the result? he in a few seconds destroyed Tampa, caused 200 millions deaths and 300 milliosn wounded.

I actually feeling boomed about it, is it normal? :(
 
It means the story is being told well.

I've felt bad about characters dying in movies, tv shows, novels etc. (Oh god, Robinton still makes me cry)

As long as you can adjust to life after Black Leaf, you'll be fine.
You've opened up wounds I thought had healed over. Now I need to purge my emotions with ice cream and butter.
 
Whenever I've seen a PC die in DnD it's usually followed by a few seconds of stunned silence and then ranting and/or laughter.
 
The players in my online game were tricked into bringing a cursed artifact into a temple of Pelor, desicrating the temple and unleashing an army of the undead that took it over and killed a good number of people in the process.

It was given to us by Sullenpike, the exposition NPC! We were supposed to trust him!

It wasn't my fault... As with many events that involved the harm of others, I blame Adia and Errick.
 
I still never really decided for certain if Sullenpike was under Acererack's control, or he was tricked into it.

Everytime our DnD characters kill a sentient NPC, I feel bad. I always want to use non-lethal force.

Life is valuable!
 
All verbal force did for my character was get three wimpy bird-people to drop their weapons and piss their pants, once.

Fighters aren't much on the verbage :/.
