Although I can appreciate the effort some guys show in staying alive in games, I will never have the interest to do it for long. I start a campaign with the intent, but around the 3rd death,or 5th day of the camp(whichever comes first) I go back to my old ways.
Im willing to bet most of the guys who do this as a regular way of playing, are accountants or something like that where the tidious is the norm. Not an insult, just an opinion..some guys are just wired different.
