And so, another Hero joins the ranks of the dead.


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion


Little bit of back story. Some friends and I play Pathfinder a couple times a week. I wouldn't say we are great, but its fun and everyone seems to have a good time and we take turns GMing so that everyone gets a chance to be both player and Gamemaster.

While each of us has our own quirks, our current GM seems to feel it is his job to kill the party. We have had 6 sessions playing Winter Witch AP and have had 2 TPKs and 3 near TPKs(75% of the party died). This is more deaths than our other campaigns combined.

My question is this; is it fair to pitch a group that fortified their campground and posted guards against the following enemies within the span of a single day(all of these where rolled on the random encounter table). An ogre, a swarm of mosquitoes, 2 encounters with bandits, and 2 encounters with some sort of fey creatures we failed to identify?


all in 1 night??? no way.. dude be crazy

It's not within the expected scope of either the AP in question or Pathfinder as designed, no.

So talk to the GM about it.


That sounds more like a tower defense video game than a roleplaying game. Haha.

It is not the GM's job to kill the party, nor is it an accomplishment.

It is the party's job to get themselves killed

Can't always garauntee a heroic death in PF but the OP sound somewhat excessive
