Actually it generates plenty of RP involving the death, just not for the character who died. For games without permadeath, does death really even factor into RP after a while? If it's just like sneezing, you do it and might do it again sometime if the circumstances are right, does it still retain any impact upon which people will dwell and consider? No doubt to some it does but to others it might just be the same as having to put your coat back on before going out into the chilly winter weather. Its impact becomes muted and overlooked because there's no permanency about it.
