I plead Intentional TPK for Narrative Reasons, M'Lud

[gothwalk]

Gamer type people: How would you feel about playing in a one-shot game or mini-campaign in which you know in advance that everyone is going to get killed? I'm thinking of this specifically in the context of a prelude to a longer game centering on an investigation of the deaths of the first set of characters.

I'm mostly avoiding RPG'ing these days but I approve of character death. It's a cromulent enough idea.

Wandering slightly off topic...

I enjoyed very much a MERP game in which my third character finished off my (unconscious, badly wounded) second character. The third character (Bors) was the NPC brother of my first PC, who was a fugitive being hunted down by my second PC. The beauty of it was that when I started playing Bors as a PC he had already become part of the story. The other players expected his to be a violent bastard and that's what I gave them.

Character death is good.
