[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 3050636, member: 9037"] I have played with some good DMs who sometimes had threats that we were supposed to run from. And sometimes we were smart enough to do so. And other times we almost had a TPK. We had one TPK that just killed a campign and the DM admited that it was his fault. He was rolling out in the open and he got very lucky he rolled a lot of crits that added to the fact that he realized later that the encounter was way to powerful for us to handle even without is insane lucky rolls. He apoligized to us. I don't think a TPK has to end a campaign but I think the DM should have some way of allowing the party to be raised if the players don't want to start completely over with new characters. In one game I played in we were TPKed and we were very disappointed none of us were ready to give up these characters. The DM had a god raise us and put an onus on us that we had to serve him for one year we lost all our goodies because our bodies were remade by the god. It was actually a very fun time we all looked different which led to some fun role play moments and sometimes we didn't always want to do what the god wanted so we would come up with ways to look like were doing what the god wanted. It reallly turned into one of the most fun games I ever played. [/QUOTE]
