Yes, yes they are. Fun and meatgrinders.Yeah, I've played in a multitude of their adventure paths here (never finished one), and they all seem to be meatgrinders. Fun as hell, but still.
In the custom Eberron 4E game I'm running in RL (<plug>here</plug>), I've killed two characters already and usually drop one or two per major encounter. I'm not trying to kill them... 
The best part is that the first PC to die is/was a 4E skeptic and said earlier that same night "You can't die in 4E."

I truly, honestly, was not trying to kill him.So you had to teach him a lesson?
Negative bloodied. They were trying to disarm an arcane bomb attacked the the elemental housing of an airship in Sharn. If it when off, the airship would have crashed into a tower several hundreds of feet down. Bad, stuff. Anyway, it was warded and gave off a pulse every round or so of lightning damage. No one could or did move his unconscious corpse out of the way in time.
