The closest I've ever come to DMing a TPK was when my players snuck into a prison to rescue an NPC. I based the prison on The Pit from The Dark Knight Rises: 6 levels around a large pit. I thought the risk of falling would be fun and tense, but the PCs kept failing their saving throws lol

Firebug is my favorite homebrew item from my new Daggerheart magic item pack.

It's inspired by the strategy I used as a new D&D player in high school: start a huge fire and use the ensuing chaos as cover to sneak, steal, or escape

The full pack has 7 wands (PDF + cards) for $2.95 on DrivethruRPG

Do you wish Daggerheart had more Magic Items?

My Pocket Wands magic item pack includes 7 wands that give any character a taste of spellcasting (no Spellcast trait required). They're non-combat, story-driven, and go with any narrative frame.

What a pity Mr. bond, it appears you have rolled a success with fear.

I regret to inform you that removing the Red Shadow's mask reveals your greatest foe is in fact your brother. It seems he survived the tragic accident detailed in your backstory, and I'm afraid he blames you for what happened.

The Pipe of the Consulting Detective helps players roleplay clever characters without needing to be clever IRL. It's a 5e magic item that helps investigate mysteries, interrogate NPCs, and spiral into paranoia.

Perfect for story-driven roleplay & mystery-solving adventures in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
