He gave an example of the Fire Giants only having 14 HP each as an example of a bad way to handle it, and asked for better ways. To me, a TPK isn't much to offer as a solution. And even in games where PCs are replaceable and the likelihood that a TPK can happen is high.....many players will still not be happy about it. I think that the concept of a group that's okay with a TPK is really small. Yes, they exist under the right circumstances....but I think in even a casual game, generally speaking, players will be annoyed when their characters die, and very annoyed with a TPK.</blockquote>
