I've played campaigns where you can die a lot. It got old after a while. I'm not talking about a player dying here or there anyway. I'm talking about TPK'ing the whole party. If you do that, it's your fault as the DM. Your job is not to TPK the party, but rather make it fun. That does include danger, but seriously, if you think being TPK'ed is okay, don't sit at my table.

    You shouldn't talk in absolutes. It's everyone's job (not just the DM) to have fun, and if fun = risk of getting TPK'd, then that option should be included as well. Just make sure that everyone's on the same page.

    But if you preemptively remove the option because you think that nobody likes it, you lose players like me who like the challenge and find enjoyment in surviving each session.
