So I had my first PFS TPK last night. Without giving away too much about the scenario, there was a pretty much instant death condition with a Fort DC of 11. Two players rolled natural 2s (and the summoner also rolled nat 2 for his pet) none of which increased to 11. The other insta killed player, who had bad Con, rolled a 9 and got a 10. One did get a shirt re-roll, which saved him, but then he and the last player proceeded to fight the remainder of the encounter to their ultimate demise.

Two of the players were devastated, two of the players thought it was hilarious. I just feel bad for all concerned.

When you have had player death (and, especially, massive player death), how have you handled it? What are good ways to approach it for the enjoyment of the players?

I will not be able to attend PaizoCon this year. I have a banquet ticket and am in the Lovecraft event. I'm looking for someone who would benefit from these things. I'll check back tomorrow night to see who could use them.

Any news on when the event sign-up begins? I'm bringing two new people this year and want them to have a good experience.

So, as the dust was starting to settle, Majuba, his fiance, Joshua Blazej, (apologies, I forgot your name) perhaps the last FAWTL member "left standing" and I got together and did something amazingly fun. Total random generation. Pretty much everything we could think of. Good workout of the new GameMaster Guide. Absolute craziness. A 20 Int paranoid Fighter with +1 weapon that had nearly every aspect you could take on (What was it, Blazej? Ghost Touch, Vicious, Anarchic, Shocking . . . ). A Fighter with amnesia who couldn't remember her "former" life as, strangely enough, a fighter. A multi-personality disorder Paladin whose riding dog ended up doing more damage than just about anything (weapon of awesomeness being a notable exception, though it got bonus points for damaging the party, too . . .). And a Monk / Paladin who had started his career afraid of hibiscus and hiking (now he is just offended, as his Paladin level makes him immune to fear) who rode madly through the Ethereal plane for many rounds before realizing he wasn't doing anything.

So with that, it got me thinking. What "off schedule" events did everyone run? Give reports of your games, so that we may all vicariously enjoy them.

And long live the Fascinating Rainbow Bears of the Gods!

(No relation, btw, to any cartoon bears that may have rainbow connections . . .)
