Quote from: VectorSigma;443971Someone has always managed to get away (some calls closer than others).

Personally, using this as a touch point, I've never considered just one character getting away to be a non-TPK.

Well, it's not precisely a Total Party Kill if someone gets away, now, is it?  I mean, once we start talking about near-TPKs and potential-TPKs and all that, it's a whole different ball game.  I've been party to plenty of near-TPKs and a metric ass-ton of potential-TPKs.  But unless every PC actually kicks the bucket, I can't "count" it as a TPK.

Collective Pants-Shitting is not the same as a TPK.  Although it might be more satisfying, actually.

True, but, personally, I've found the effect is the same.
