[QUOTE="FreeTheSlaves, post: 2347872, member: 9952"] As either a player or dm I pack a major sad & someone will be held to account. My aggressive reaction is based on the fact that either way I have invested effort to create memorable characters that have foundation in the campaign. I place a premium on survival over heroism as a player & as a dm I do not throw overpowering encounters at the pcs that they _must_ fight. Last time my pc was killed in an effective tpk (1 survivor with little long-term hope) I told the dm that that session was one of the worst I have ever played & all hell then broke loose. After the dust cleared it became apparent that players & dm had different expectations that had not been discussed openly & thus the campaign had been doomed. I've never tpked the pcs but on one occasion they won a fight I had calculated as too tough, I then warned the players that if they had suffered a tpk against such difficult odds I'd be taking a break from dming for a couple of months.
