This is what you get for trying to mix thanksgiving and Christmas . <| sep |> Its always a hard thing to gauge I guess I am lucky in that my players have all been playing with me for so long , they know when I pull out one of my grimdark settings they have suffered through several Ravenloft campaigns , Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and Dark Heresy under me , that harrowing is part of the deal although it is usually people the characters care about rather than the characters that suffer the worst . Best you can do is a sincere apology , and see if there is a way to walk back or bury the event in a credible way . <| sep |> His body of work entails beating up nobodies and hasbeens while not always doing so with ease .
