The title of James Jacobs' most recent blog entry: "Raising the Runelords, or how to recover from a TPK and make it look like you planned it all along."
Am I reading too much into this, or is there a little ironic double entendre going on here?
In any event, I heartily hope that James and co. can pull off their miraculous recovery from this near-TPK. DMing is good practice for real life, I suppose.
I had wondered as well. Honestly, the first time I read the header, I thought that it really would apply to - you know what.

I thought the same when I read the title. The mark of a good DM is to recover from the unexpected and make the players think you planned it all along. Good metaphor for Paizo and Pathfinder. :)
