O.k. so here it is my group is just starting Hook Mountain Massacre and so far the entire party has died once in Burnt Offerings, twice in The Skinsaw Murders, and once in The Seven Swords of Sin module i threw in to give them so more XP. Now i know i only have a group of 4 and i have seriously reduced the strength of the big baddies. My group finds it to easy fighting the smaller battles cause they use most of their resources on them then when they get to a main encounter they are FUBARed.
Spoiler:
Or they do really stupid stuff like oh lowering a cleric who can't swim into a hole in thistletop that they know has water in the bottom then after the bunyip bites the cleric in half they decide to lower down the mage this proceeds until only the paladin remains.
O.k. not gonna say to much bout Skinsaw except my entire party died at the bottom and the top of the clock tower.
And then we come to Seven Swords of Sin more like one book of death for my party. i need a way to make my party realize that they are doing things wrong without killing them and yes i have fudged rolls in their favor and i have weakened the baddies but when it comes down to it i think my players are just not that committed to their characters because they just keep killing themselves in silly ways
