[QUOTE="Grossout, post: 6341010, member: 45646"] I don't have the starter set, so my speculation could be less valuable than others', but here is a thought: Maybe having a TPK (or at least a good chance of one) at the end of the adventure was a design decision by WOTC.. After all, there doesn't appear to be anywhere to go after you finish the starter set.. Tyranny of Dragons starts at first level, not 5th where the starter set leaves off.. I know WOTC said there would be some organic way to transition a campaign from the Starter to Tyranny, but I'm sure most people who buy Tyranny are gonna wanna use the whole adventure, starting at level one. Maybe deep down, WOTC wants us to play through the starter set and learn the game, then start all over again. And I don't think I'd be opposed to that.. [/QUOTE]
