I once (as the DM) caused a TPK with fireball.

A cultist mage was about to die. He knew fireball. The whole party was around him.

The reasonable thing to do was a con check to see if he had the mental fortitude to follow through, then kill himself for the cause. So he mustered his strength and fireballed himself.

People were mad

I understand some people like to play at tables like this, but I'd be annoyed at this type of dm'ing.

Fair.

We paused after that and replayed from a reasonable checkpoint.

The goal is fun, and ending the story on an early session would be lame.
