A group I'm in, 5 players and 1 GM, are currently playing the first book of Shackles and we keep running into a problem, everyone keeps dying!
15 deaths so far and we just started exploring the isle we wrecked on... My first death was the session before last (almost died last session to frogs [gnome waves oracle kept getting swallowed] and drowning), but some people are up to 4 or 5 deaths. Bad die rolls, poor decsion making, not having a certain skill, and the fact that our GM loves roleplaying as ruthless pirates all seem to be our main causes of grief.
I just want to know if anyone else has had this many deaths or if there is a way to lower our deaths per session?
