On a positive note, we've gotten REALLY good at escaping various jails!
Two separate resurrection attempts for a beloved character failed. I use Matt Mercer's resurrection rules, and both the revivify and resurrection ritual got natural 1s.
The dice have been BRUTAL to my players this campaign.

We've had two resurrection attempts. Needed to roll a 3 each time to succeed. Rolled a Nat1 both times.

I'm looking for great examples of truly system-neutral titles. What are your faves?
Self-promo is not only okay but very fucking encouraged, assuming that it fits the bill.
