[QUOTE="Wraithdrit, post: 782141, member: 10820"] Hmm, would have to say Call of Cthulu where the entire party died. But that is routine in games like Cthulu and say Paranoia. Outside of that we ran a Vampire tourney once and one of the teams I ran through it got completely wiped, felt pretty bad for them. Closer to home in 3E D&D a group I played in botched a serious encounter and the whole group got wasted except for two players... DM hit the big reset button and we did that over again because it was just BADLY played but us players. 3E D&D games that I have run... well deaths are usually sprinkled throughout and not condensed into one time frame. Ones I felt bad about were a rogue that fell down an 80 foot pit trap she missed the search on and bit it, and a couple others that don't really come to mind. Most of the PC deaths in my game come during the epic battles and are casualties of winning, and thus its the kinda thing songs are written about, etc. Back in the 2nd edition days I did have one party go against a white dragon. It was an Epic fight to say the least. Half the party was wiped out, and the other half was near dead, but they did win in the end. - Wraith [/QUOTE]
