[Dogs in the Vineyard] I broke the rules ... twice
David Artman:
Nay, for it is also written "Demons sound like The King, once you're dead." Prophet Meccarat's Apology of 1812, further, makes it clear that "necromancy opens the heart to possession." QED, if you think you hear The King of Life "calling" you back to Earth after your life has fled your body (duh!) then be wary of False Doctrine and Demonic Seduction.
(Seriously, though--whatever floats your boat. I, personally, wouldn't use that dodge as a PC; and as a GM, I would quiz my players heavily on whether they think there's any tension left in escalation, once death is all-but-impossible.)
5niper9:
My intention was neither to proclaim that our drifting on that part was good nor that it was bad.
It just happened and produced a nice outcome of a story.
I think that we will discuss the resurrection issue the next time we play, I'll try to make clear that I think that this should be handled as a unique situation and we shall see what comes of it.
Best,
René
lumpley:
No! Never discuss anything!
Let it stand. Go forward. If it comes up again, it comes up again, no big deal.
Swear to God, no big deal. David wouldn't want it in his game, but his game is way over there, your game is your own. It was the right thing to do once, no reason to think it won't be the right thing to do again.

oliof:
vincent was just faster than me! "The devils words are sweetest when the King's wisdom is turned backwards". And we know that the book of death and renewal also ends with "As the voice of the king of life speaks of forgiveness, death will be undone for the just."
In other words: As lumpley said. One of the strongest experiences I had as a Dogs GM was a resurrection where one dog got the dog back to life that resurrected her in the first place – all framed within the healing conflicts, but nonetheless. Both dogs took d4 relationships to each other as part of fallout, which told us this would have gotten veeery interesting if this hadn't been a convention oneshot.
5niper9:
Oh!? I didn't expect such a strong reaction.
So I conclude that discussions are death for the experience were aiming for.
We'll just carry on. Probably on saturday.
Best,
René
