[QUOTE="Gundark, post: 3978683, member: 6148"] We tried the "reset button" option when a player character died during our Age of Worms campaign (by far the most deadly campaign of all time) after a TPK in the "3 faces of evil". The idea seemed good at the time but it ultimately fell on it's face for the following reasons. 1. Character A dies in combat, we hit the reset button and played again. Well Player A lives but Character B dies the second time around (remember the DM is allowed to go "all out"). So we reset again....which lead to point 2. 2. It ended up being a lot of lost real time, the group got tired of having to replay the fight over again. The party wanted to advance in the story and not get stuck replaying stuff. 3. Related to point 1. I found that I was holding back the second time around, which seemed counter to why we were doing "resets" in the first place. I think resets aren't a bad option for TPKs, it's just not wonderful for individual PC deaths. [/QUOTE]
