Alright, sure buddy. I’ll tell my players that they aren’t actually having fun.

Well, you do you.

I talked about that with my players in session 0 and they would rather have consequences and a challenge instead.

So far we had 2 PC deaths in 3 years of pathfinder 1e but many close calls. If I were to TPK them fair and square (either because of unfortunate crits on my part or them getting cocky or just plain old messing up) I would do so. I have 0 interest in pulling some “37 red dragons appear, roll for initiative” bullshit but when, like last session, they choose(!) not to heal between encounters and then continue exploring heads might roll.

I don’t intend to TPK them but if it happened we would have a conversation about how to continue, probably either with a new party or an epilogue.

To be fair, if the party can’t handle the heat they should get out of the kitchen.

Assuming this is either dnd or pathfinder, if by the time a rando cultist can cast fireball, 6-30 (and half of a save) damage kills your whole party you really shouldn’t be in meele :D

I used to volunteer for a German rescue organisation (think firefighters but for other use cases) and a common joke was “when you finish your deployment and you can only retrieve either personnel or equipment, what do you choose? Equipment, because personnel grows back after 18 years, equipment after 30”.

So yeah, we can relate to getting shitty equipment…
