[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9526691, member: 6801845"] As others have said, there is no "Plot A" [EDIT: in my home game]. There are just locations, events, NPCs and the goals the NPCs are pursuing that the players may choose to oppose or support. So if there's a TPK I'll figure out what the logical consequences are, the plans that fail or succeed based on their death and so on. But then it's entirely up to the players during our session 0 whether or not they want to even start the next campaign in the same region and what timeframe because decades in-world regularly pass between campaigns. The group may choose to pursue some of the same goals as the old group, but that's completely up to them. It's one of the main reasons I'll never have a goal of an NPC being a world ending cataclysm. I have no guarantee the PCs will thwart the BBEG's plan. If an individual PC dies, that's the end of that PC's story but in general that won't affect the plans of the group as a whole. [/QUOTE]
