[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3272154, member: 41321"] Don't engineer a TPK. Talk to your players. Tell them that you feel like they're not ready for the game you had planned and that you'd like to start a new one. Table this campaign, and do an evil and/or silly one for them. If they like it, go with it. If they become tired of it after a while, pull out the adventure path again and either start new (which you might be able to do with a little understanding on the player's parts if you're not too far into it) or resume from where you were. If they're okay with a little handwaving, you can allow them to re-tweak their characters into something more fitted for the campaign, provided they're ready to play those characters, of course. It's never good to force something on your players they don't feel like playing, and I feel like a TPK isn't a good solution to it. They might think of it as punishment. Rather than killing them all for playing your game wrong, give them a game that fits what they want to play. [/QUOTE]
