Why Defeat, Death, and TPKs Are Good for Dungeons & Dragons

Should D&D include the possiblility of defeat, death, and even TPKs for the player characters? Or are dungeon masters better off if they leave those things out of Dungeons & Dragons? Would the game be better if the heroes always won and there was never any real risk to their lives? In this video, I discuss why death, defeat, and even TPKs are GOOD for D&D and why dungeon masters should be okay when those things happen in their games. A DM might feel bad when they happen, but ultimately they improve the game and make it more exciting and fun for players. (Well, for most players.)
