So what can non-horror games use/learn from horror games regarding TPKs? I'm finding it weird that horror games reportedly have less threat of death than non-horror games. (I also can't remember the last TPK that I saw, but some people seem to think they're a problem.)

Alright, it's debatable whether O'Doyle had the hots for Billy, but it's not debatable that O'Doyle gave Billy some good attention. For the characters whose relationships are just as indeterminate, making the determinations is one of the most popular plot points in movies. And novels. So why...

Ah - the higher the number, the more tedious to track. Especially when avoiding the danger-low quantities is effortless. Except, what village has 10 days of salt-pork and sun-dried veggies, per adventurer, for sale? You could go find a standing army's quartermaster or even the marshal, and...

I picked up random bits that were worth looking up from early Final Fantasy games, like Asura, Bahamut, and Aegis. That's in addition to a year or two of Christian mythology from the local church.

Oh! That explains all the nicknames! Like "brekkie."

Looking at that latte... do you need a roommate?

Welcome to the forum, Hooded. Way to throw down the gauntlet! Just FYI, it seems we moved on from this conversation six years ago.

People are not noticing the quotes for Doomsday's statement. I, for one, could not. Well, maybe I could.

Oh. Also not something he should be doing, with a fanny pack containing Pampers. A REAL motorcycle guy leaves mom and baby two states behind and steals gasoline, if we're getting picky about it.

Captain Dad-Bod? It's pretty hard to be a biker-rebel (cough cough) with a bike named "Triumph" when you have to change diapers and buy groceries.

Me neither. But if the reason is really interesting or fun, I'd be okay with it. I guess there's a compromise: if the GM says in session zero that there's "always a chance" that the whole party dies, that would be fair warning without ruining a surprise. This is fun: rewards for TPK. The...

I'm not privy to that info. Maybe it's just the timing, but to me it looks like Captain America performed his own immaculate conception. Immaculate birthing too, given how pristine that scene is.

"I could have made a better trailer."

I've been reading the thread about avoiding encounters that are too easy or that result in a Total Party Kill (TPK), and I just gave some XP for a poster pointing out that horror games are supposed to end in TPK. So now I'm wondering about the middle ground: when a TPK is expected to happen in...

I was shocked at the actual number of books reviewed!

Krampus. /thread In a weird twist, an actual Christmas movie featured a German character explaining how Die Hard is actually a horror movie, and Hans Gruber was a Robin Hood-type character, terrorized by John McClane.

In a profit-oriented D&D production, this is a lovely idea. In your home game with Steve doing every munchkin thing possible, it amounts to right now being the most narratively satisfying moment to do it. And I'm not sure I'd want to tell the players they can level up whenever they want...

OP has updated spoiler sections. Here's the new magic example. It deserves a dedicated example, given that magic is where all five modules come together, making it the most complicated module to use.

Almost got Green Ronin's a Song of Ice and Fire from Half Price Books. I didn't because it wasn't half MSRP. Oh, and I bought a $7 pain au chocolat while at a pre-session. The pain was horrible!
