Me when my players in a cyberpunk game are all on death’s door after a firefight goes bad: “Skill issue, I would simply not have been shot”

Going by the article’s description it sounds like it’s just fantasy 1900s (but without racism and other bigotries) which doesn’t sound anywhere near as grim as Duskvol’s “the world has ended and our electricity runs on souls”. The regional map for example just looks reads as “generic fantasy” to me.
Meanwhile in my games PCs regularly never buy or upgrade equipment because nobody wants to waste time in session (good!) but also refuse to just do stuff through discord during the rest of the week (bad!).
If this guy ever falls over for any reason he’s taking 1d12 each of cutting, bludgeoning, and impaling.
The solution is as follows: the entire party rolls against a DC (typically passive perception though it could just be opposed), and so long as half of the party (round up) succeeds, you are sufficiently stealthy. Realistic? Not necessarily, but it lets a stealthy player do something without having to go off on their own and get killed.
Nah, it’s more fun to let them enjoy their high AC against martial threats but bring in more casters, demons made of poison gas, etc if things are getting too easy.
Pshaw, D&D barely even has encumbrance rules. Gotta play GURPS where your movement and dodge get worse the more you’re carrying, and bags of holding don’t exist.
/tg/ maintains the best pirated TTRPG repositories as far as I’m aware, so there are at least two good things.
Okay, sure, it’s a greatsword made of pure blackness named “Soulripper”, and yeah, you constantly hear faint screaming when it’s within line of sight, and maybe it tried to consume Dave’s barbarian when he picked it up, but it’s also a +6 greatsword with flametongue and dragonbane! It’s not like we can sell it, so I might as well use it!
If it’s true for me it must be true for you.
