Experienced my first TPK tonight. We were on a mission in Peru

>critical fail
What system was this, and what are the odds that a player insta-dies because the dice shat on him?

>>55265728
We were playing Savage Worlds, Weird War II. He didn't insta-die. He just got fucked up really bad and the Nazis geeked him their next turn.

is it really a TPK if no one died?

>>55265871
Might as well be. The only reason it wasn't was because the GM willed it.

>>55265946
at least he made something of it instead of giving up, hope you have with it OP

To be honest, we deserved nothing less than death. We all played stupidly and rolled shitty tonight. Which is baffling because last week we did fucking amazing.

Is this pasta fresh?

Lol all good my man. Just fucking with you.

While I'm here, got any ideas for storming a castle?

>>55266180
could use additional details, but if its an old Germanic castle there's probably hidden entrances that the Nazis don't know about.
In the worst case you could try an explosive entrance

I got pissed off at my players, so I had my GMPC lure one of them into an ambush that resulted in her getting shot in the chest by a sniper while a Red Samurai hit squad rolled up on the bar that the rest of the party was drinking at. To be fair, I had my girl get shot first to give the other guy ample time to try and find cover and get away, and I gave the guys in the bar fair warning that the place was about to become a warzone.

Still, I feel bad about it, because it was a shit way to end a game I was frustrated with. That's my "best" TPK story.

Hmmmm... Interesting. And since my character is currently captured, I was thinking maybe a suave thinker spy instead of a navy pilot.

Which kinda pisses me off too because the GM we had said we needed a pilot or a sailor and not a heavy or a combat medic. Sure as shit, I never once used either boating or flying.

>>55266617
What'd they do to deserve your wrath?

>>55266781
remember, if the GM says you need to be a skill monkey, it'll only pop up once, otherwise they'll show up all the time

also, what system are you using? WW2 Nazi killin sounds fun

>>55266098
Not every RPG is going for scientifically accurate simulationist gameplay.

>>55266792
Murderhoboing in Shadowrun. No, it's not a good idea to launch grenades into a random coffee shop. That makes the wrong people pay attention.

>>55267209
He already said, Savage Worlds, Weird War II.

Also, OP, did you all run out of bennies or something? This kind of situation is exactly what they're there for.

>>55268213
Savage Worlds is a system explicitly designed around wild crits. All the dice explode.

I ran out of bennies. I had been rolling horrible the whole game.

>>55268701
Only reason we didn't is because the DM willed it. I'm counting it.
