The dice tell a story. Let the bus go.

TheChiefComplex :
If one of my players does something really cool or super funny, I hand them a DM inspiration token. Each player can only hold one at a time and it doesn't expire. They can use it to reroll something or make me reroll something or they can use it to ask me a question within reason.

our DM is very vocal about it, when it happens he says "Never" and rerolls...

"Yep that's a hit." - I said as I saw the players miss for 7th time in a row.

I died the first session because I was wrapped in a rug mimic thing that wrapped around my body, and I took all the damage from my party and from the mimic too. It wasn’t even 20 minutes in. I left crying because I put so much work into my character and got told by my gm “welp you gotta write up a new one” and slid over a blank character sheet and the books.

personally, I just have my monsters criticals not be damage centric where possible. got hit so hard a potion in your bag breaks on impact, got knocked prone, damaged a piece of equipment that needs repair or risk it breaking entirely if it happens again.

Wreck em. Then after TPK, tell them they wake up in a local building to some real hero having saved them.

I am a big fan of "don't roll if you don't want random." But the DM isn't a slave to random. We let the dice provide the random, but we decide the outcomes. Just cause the monster dealt damage, doesn't mean the player has to die. It just means the story is guna look different than planned.

the dice showed you a glimpse of the story in a timeline/reality. whether it's the timeline of the current campaign or an alternate one is up to you. "In an alternate universe you all just died."

Anyone willing to TPW A lvl 2 party without fully explaining that is the style of campaign you’re running can eat rocks. Otherwise fun beats dice rolls all day.

The dice are king, never roll a die unless you are ready to accept the result.

Mediocre :
I am a good DM. I have lied about my rolls so my players characters would stay alive. Making sure everyone is having fun is the most important part of being a DM. That's not saying I won't let players die, it's about balance and timing.

TPKs aren’t fun. As DM, I’m the manager and facilitator of fun.

Ha we don’t use a dm screen souly because we pissed off our dm enough that he wants to show us every single crit he gets

looking at the third 20 with a giant smile on my face and panic in my heart. I blink, and suddenly a high level guide/guardian NPC with a hideout nearby saves us all from the tpk
