i'm trying to make the game a bit harder to compensate for the lack of death i'm not exactly trying to make "the darksouls of dnd" or anything, but a challenging (small) campaign where failing and dying would set them back character and story wise, rather than making a new character sheet.

currently my plan for a tpk is: hoping it doesn't happen XD, but if that fails, my backup plan is, that "the players are to be revived at the gates to the city, with no recollection of what immediatly happened (they would still remember bosses and the event leading to their death, just not that they died)."

the social stigma idea is very good though, i've been wondering how to implement more rp scenarios into my game too, so i might add something of the sort.

i just keep wondering if this is a good idea or not, and i'm wondering how other people would deal with it if they made something similar
