As for the thread topic: I have never had to worry about a TPK, ever. Even when the party themselves were worried that they would all die (like to the green dragon that used hit-and-run tactics*), I knew that they could beat it with no help from me. Also, the only times when TPK would have happened, someone was smart enough to run for their lives. Over all, my players end up loosing more PC's threw their own stupidity than my nefarious plots, and I don't feel bad about them dieing like that.*If you were wondering, they ended up beating that encounter without a single death after they got their act together and started thinking about their environment.</blockquote>
