Self imposed perma death is best. Wouldn't want my worlds or characters vanishing on me. I am enjoying going back now and bringing up to speed many of the worlds I abandoned during death runs. All so that I have more worlds to take into the Mistlands!

That said I guess at some point I need to bring all those dead characters up to speed skill wise at some point... if I feel like it ha ha.

I found for perma death it was best to not play that save after the sun goes down. Too risky.
