[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9526269, member: 54629"] I've had a few near-TPKs* over the years, including with 5e. My highest kill count in a 5e campaign was with [I]Tomb of Annihilation[/I]. I think I killed 8 PCs in total in my first run-through of the adventure, with the majority of deaths taking place in Omu.
