[QUOTE="Zogg, post: 1059722, member: 12133"] Queenie - You really gotta do what ya gotta do. There's no right or wrong answer. I think it's great you were so invested in your character that you were upset by her death. And I can tell you that the circumstances leading up to the TPK (as you present them anyway, I do believe there are 2 sides to every coin) do sound a bit, well, overbearing to say the least. But DnD is meant to be played in such a way that adventurers *could* die....and even in rare circumstances, ALL of them at once. It's up to you to decide if rjmc64 is too much of a "killer DM" for you. Perhaps just talking to him about this (as well as with the rest of the group) will help iron everything out for the future. Maybe he will not present such an impossible scenario again. But I should also note that if things don't get sorted out to your liking and/or you are going to forever hold a grudge about this incident, then perhaps you should find a group of people that believe adventurers can never permanently die. Either way you are going to have to accept that your PC is dead and move on - it's hard to say right now what's best for you. Obviously you should always avoid ANYTHING that isn't consistently fun for you - but perhaps this incident is just a small blip in an otherwise fun game?! [/QUOTE]
