I am pretty hyperaware of trauma levels. Like . . . I FEEL THAT THERE IS WHAT I CALL THE RTD SCHOOL OF DRAMA where it is like "GOSH THERE NEEDS TO BE TENSION -- KILL PEOPLE!" And it essentially makes trauma . . . uhm, normal or regular or just overdone to the point of numbness. Which means it sort of becomes moot, for me. It is like when characters have been in Camp too long and are like sigh sexswap sigh degaging sigh zombies. When as a gamerunner you want people to be like O GOD DEATH D| or O GOD MAIMING D| to some extent each time. Instead of like . . . w-well I know no matter what I do it is doom so it doesn't really matter :/. So I also try to always have a Good Option or an out or the Illusion of Hope :') in my games as well.
