| Mar 21, 2019 at 14:33 | comment | added | Biomage | Yes, I think so! I think the sort of players that would get to that final stage in your example are probably very rare and perhaps themselves causing some of the issues! | |
| Mar 21, 2019 at 14:16 | comment | added | goodguy5 | @Biomage lemme know if that resolves your issue. | |

usage example

| Mar 21, 2019 at 14:07 | comment | added | goodguy5 | @Biomage I might use that as a starting point, but I would rather my players know the situation, rather than implying something to their characters. I will include an example, however. | |
| Mar 21, 2019 at 13:59 | comment | added | Biomage | I think, rather than saying "I don't have anything prepared for this" you can heavily suggest something, I have used a magical pack of cards to point an arrow in the other direction (away from a potential TPK) or occasionally say something along the lines of "You each feel a strong sense of dread associated with this path/choice/situation". It usually does the trick, and if not you can always drop in a random encounter to buy you some time! I'd always err on the side of using a narrative voice rather than a simple immersion breaking statement! | |
