Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hussar" data-source="post: 2826157" data-attributes="member: 22779">Interesting stuff.Had a bit of a thought on how to deal with a TPK in the WLD.  Inspired by an article in Dragon as well as one of my favourite games - Bloodbowl.If the time comes when the party buys it, they will find themselves in a large arena facing X number of previously slain baddies.  (Probably enough on both sides to make a decent football team, or at least a soccer team. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )  In the middle will be a ball.  The first team to make 3 goals wins.  The ball moves 1 square for every 5 (or maybe 10) damage done to it.  Cross into the other end's goal line and score.  Other than that, no real rules.  Anyone killed during a "play" is brought back to full health in the next one.  A play constitutes a placing of the ball at the center to whenever someone scores.  So, if one team decimates another team during one drive, it doesn't really matter since they will all be back to full in the next drive.  Give a one minute prep time for the team before each play to allow for buffing and whatnot.In game justification is this:  The Dungeon allows no extra planar travel.  I have interpreted this to mean that the Dungeon is chockablock with ghosts.  The Dungeon itself is somewhat sentient and has set this up to test potential inmates.  The winners of games are reincarnated somewhere else in the Dungeon (appropriate to their level).  This is why the Dungeon remains so static.  Even if you completely kill everything in there, a couple of weeks later, everything is back to where it started.So, every time the party loses a game, it loses a level.  When it wins, the party is res'd somewhere in the Dungeon appropriate to its new level.  Maybe the level they just left, or maybe another region.  Advance the time line a couple of weeks, have the players extrude from the walls and they are good to go.  If people want to play something new, that's cool, just change characters - maybe something funky happened during the rebuilding by the Dungeon.  Whatcha think?</blockquote>
