Preparing for Epic Failures > TPK

The air is calm. The rush of a dragons wings interrupts as it dives over the edge of a chasm with a halfling in its claws. Moments behind, you rush up to the edge of the chasm, brushing pebbles and dust into its gaping maw. The dragon gets farther away with every heartbeat. Cries of the wounded reach out from behind you, and you can see the distant approach of yet another set of wings. Ally or foe, it is too far to tell. What do you do?
We talk about this subject from both sides of the table. For the noble DM it's about gently directing the game to provide these moments of character defining choice. For mighty players, set yourself up for glory, and considering how these moments shape your character. We had fun, so enjoy a listen!
