[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 1666831, member: 198"] Planned for it. I didn't know when/if there would be a TPK, but I figured it was quite likely at some point, since I don't fudge, I roll dice in the open and my group's overwhelming alignment is chaotic suicidal. So, quite early in the campaign, I threw in a home-brew magical item which provided just enough benefits to the group to tempt them to keep it, despite hints that it might not be as simple/nice as it seemed. But what it did at the same time was establish a link with their souls. When they got TPKed, it swallowed their souls and shifted back to its owner (Bel the pit fiend, lord of the first layer of Baator). Bel used its power to raise some of his fallen minions and the players took over those characters, shifting the campaign from a heroic Greyhawk one to an evil planar one. There would have been more of the plot to unfold, but we had to wrap up just over a month later since I was leaving the US on holiday. [/QUOTE]
