[Hack N' Slash party] : Joe Sakamoto (joetaro@hotmail.com)
Mixed party of 5th level or greater, Forgotten Realms
CAUSE OF DEATH: The party saw this floating skeleton in a long dark corridor in a dungeon. The Cavalier charged, only to see him suddenly stopped and floating next to the skeleton. They decided to also charge up to hack and slash the skeleton. To bad no one bothered to see the Gelatinous Cube that was surrounding the skeleton.
EPITAPH: Uh, anyone bring a light?
Hades Bob: Kim (flaviander@yahoo.dk)
Male Harrowed Gunslinger, Deadlands
CAUSE OF DEATH: Being Harrowed, Bob was nevertheless in control of his inner "demon". It usually only surfaced during downtime, allowing for numerous horrible acts committed without the other players being able to prove anything. When the manitou/demon took control in a saloon brawl, Bob went on a killing spree, gleefully gunning down all the patrons. Fellow PC US Marshall Pilgrim Van Sant turned his head into a canoe using his trusty buffalo rifle, just as Bob ran out of ammo. True friendship...
EPITAPH: Here lies Bob, his head a canoe. Please don't disturb him whatever you do.
HAL-R-UYA-6: Steven Bravida
Human Troubleshooter, Paranoia
CAUSE OF DEATH: Forced to field test a huge, bulky R&D device that was strapped to his back when its reactor went critical. His comrades were busy running for safety at the time.
EPITAPH: He sleeps with the scrub-bots now.
Howard Johnson: John LaPoint
Human Reporter, It Came From The Late Late Late Show
CAUSE OF DEATH: After the party "defeated" a giant slug from space in a small-town church, Howard ran outside, announcing to the townspeople, "THE BEAST IS DESTROYED!" ...just seconds before the monster burst through the heavy wooden doors and swallowed him whole.
EPITAPH: Reporters should always check their facts, especially in bad monster movies.
Howls for Peace: Jarad Hillman (knyghtlord@yahoo.com)
Male child of gaia philodox lupus, Whitewolf
CAUSE OF DEATH: Terminal ignorance (unfortunately) Our GM asked us to play from before the first change. I was a alaskan timber wolf with no knowledge of humans. NONE. One second im chasing a rabbit, the next im a hood ornament for a drunk redneck who accidentally did 11 levels of damage in my breed form (no regeneration, and i had 7 health levels.)
EPITAPH: Your sheet is red / you are now dead / That sick GM Crushed in your head.
Hunter Darkshadow: Nathan Leete
Male Elven Thief, 2nd edition AD&D
CAUSE OF DEATH: After checking for traps in at least 10 different locations, the greedy little elf grabbed a gold medallion, setting off an explosion that blew the poor bugger into many pieces while his friend sat outside and laughed at his misfortune.
EPITAPH: He may have been greedy. He may have been a smart ass, but he was my greedy smart assed elf.
Ian Fairweather: Paul Gibbon (pgibbon@bradford.ac.uk)
Retired Sailor, Call of Cthulu
CAUSE OF DEATH: Aboard a deserted 50-year old destroyer, the group had unleashed a trapped Lloigor. It changed from energy form into a 45-foot reptile and began chasing them through the corridors. Ian was trapped in the armory with two party members. They escaped through an air vent while he guarded the door. He declared he would go up the very narrow air vent BACKWARDS! When he was halfway through, the Lloigor burst in. He shot an ammo box with his rifle. Kaboom. The Lloigor survived with minor wounds (gotta love that 8-point natural armour) but the bottom half of him served to keep the women safe from the blast...
EPITAPH: Well, you made it angry....
Ian McGregor: Defrea (defrea@hotmail.com)
Male Irishman, Special Operations Force
CAUSE OF DEATH: Captured by Thai-soldiers and locked up in a cell, he killed the officer in charge and several others in an attempt to save his partner Samantha. Doing so, he was blown to pieces by a handgrenade.
EPITAPH: "Ey, am by the focking lorries!"
Isaac: Jake (idz770@hotmail.com)
Male Dwarf, Shark Shaman, SHADOWRUN
CAUSE OF DEATH: On a high pay mission to Aries to get 6 canisters of a lethal virus. Well, we tripped, dropped one and we all began to choke to death! I was already almost dead from damage, so I took all available firepower and cast the largest Hell Blast possible. The Aries headquarters went up in an atomic cloud in Detroit.
EPITAPH:
Jack Frost: JT (DM)
Male Military Specialist, Macross II RPG
CAUSE OF DEATH: Lt. Jack Frost was being smuggled in a cargo plane to an unknown destination. Mid-flight, he decided to check his altitude so he opened the cargo bay doors to look out. Needless to say, he went *splat*. The cargo plane lost altitude due to the open cargo bay. Several PCs (Valkyrie Pilots) attempted to stablize the plane. One clipped his wings trying to fly inside the cargo area to close it from inside, another got hit by the overhang. Both failed their crashing rolls.
EPITAPH: Military Intelligence... What a contradiction!
Jack McLaren: Jon Clay (softrazor@geocities.com)
Male Squad Leader, Outlaw Squadron (free form, near future)
CAUSE OF DEATH: When attacking an X-COM base, Jack was shot twice by searing hot plasma. One shot melted off his ear, the other one hit him in the back. Somehow, he lived and escaped into the Air transport, which was then shot down over the Pacific Ocean. He lived through the crash as well, and found the inflatable raft with his comrades. He began to show signs of hypothermia, and was attacked by a shark. With bites all across his body and severe blood loss, he started to go crazy. None of that was what killed him... When the V-22 osprey transport arrived, a medic gave him sedative to help him with his mental state. The idiot medic gave him too much, and it killed him.
EPITAPH: We miss you Jack...
Jaeger: Bryan Rombough (romb0001@algonquinc.on.ca)
Male Dwarven Rigger, Shadowrun
CAUSE OF DEATH: In a previous game he was the only character that didn't have to be revived by the Docwagon, mainly because he never got out of the vehicle. This time, he got out of the vehicle. He was walking down an alleyway he could have driven his Roadmaster down when the GM said "I'm sorry I have to do this, but it's in the module" and the sniper dropped him.
EPITAPH: Don't get out of the vehicle, don't get out of the vehicle, don't...
James "Kudos" Carlson: D. Lucuik (no address)
Male Human Mechwarrior, BattleTech
CAUSE OF DEATH: Very dumb luck. Being horribly overmatched (4 to 1 against) and somewhat damaged, James decided to kick in the jump-jets and hop over the 900 foot deep gorge, cause everybody knows its almost impossible to hit a jumping mech. Unfortunatly for me, if you put enough missiles into an area, you're bound to hit something. Even more unfoutunatly, it was my jump-jets that got hit. Needless to say, my opponents didnt bother wasting any more ammo on my plummeting mech.
EPITAPH: Terminal velocity..... a rather appropriate description.
Janus: Jon Zimmerman (zimmerjs@jmu.edu)
Male wizard, AD&D
CAUSE OF DEATH: After infiltrating the lair of a ogre witch, the other wizard in the party gave his guantlet of fire to our barbarian fighter, figuring he would have a better chance of hitting her with it. After being told how to use the guantlet, the barbarian said "so all I do is go like this. . ." and promptly cast a fireball in the middle of the corridor, killing everyone but himself.
EPITAPH: To barbarian: So, you're sure you know how to use this
Jasen: Leith N (leith_n@hotmail.com)
Male Human Rogue and general nice guy, D&D 3E
CAUSE OF DEATH: After leading my partymates through a series of crawlspaces, we blundered into a lair of giant spiders. Fled into the crawlspace to cower while the fighter rode a huge spider and the wizard defended himself with his quarterstaff (having only utility spells that day). I knew I couldn't just leave them to die. I charged back in, a lit torch in each hand and an open flask of alchemist's fire between my teeth. I lit up every patch of web (they were everywhere), and tried to roast a few spiders. The wizard and fighter scrambled out, but a spider grabbed my leg at the last second and pumped me full of paralyzing venom, leaving me to burn helplessly with all the spiders. Had I lived, I would have earned enough experience for three levels.
EPITAPH: Tried to be the same cold-hearted, calculating bastard as every other thief in the world. Just couldn't pull it out. Knew how to have a real hot time, though.
Jim: Jimmy McIntyre (no address)
Male Human, R.P.G. (FALLOUT2)
CAUSE OF DEATH: Disintagrated by a nuclear explosion on an oil rig. He took a rest at the wrong time. When he with St. Peter at the pearly gate he was asked "Why?" His answer: I forgot about the bomb.
EPITAPH: Here lies what little of Jim that could fished out the sea. He was a bright, strong, and brave man, but a little forgetful at times.
Jim Bond Jr.: Michael 'Commander Stab' Haythorpe
Male Human Spy, Heavy Gear
CAUSE OF DEATH: Jim, who believed he was James Bond's long lost son, decided to prove how fearsome he was by sculling a litre of highly concentrated alcohol. He actually managed to pass the health test to remain concious, but then tried to demonstrate his knife throwing skills. Which was silly, not only because he was intoxicated, he had no throwing skill. He fumbled, naturally, and pinned his foot to the ground. His enemies left him there to starve to death; the alcohol didn't wear off in time for him to have the coordination to remove the knife.
EPITAPH: Bond... Jim Bond, Junior!.. Now why is everybody laughing at me..!??!?!%#^#%*#@
"Joe": The Xaoswolf (http://members.tripod.com/~Xaoswolf/index.html)
Males, a fighter and thief, AD&D
CAUSE OF DEATH: My friend joe was a first timer. He was convinced that he didn't need to spend money, and that his rope could do anything (no it wasn't magic). Well we were in this cave when we came to a cliff, when torches failed Joe said, "Tie the rope around my character and lower him down." When at the bottom he was shot and poisoned by driders. Then he sent the fighter down after hauling the paralized and drooling thief, the fighter threw torches and made it to the bottom, ran along the ground then got shot and poisoned by the same driders that killed his friend, the rest of the party just laughed.
EPITAPH: He was full of life but just came to the end of his rope. Literaly
Joel: Lee Jacobi (lordofexistance@hotmail.com)
Male Human mage, AD&D
CAUSE OF DEATH: Eradicating goblins from a cavern system, we traveled further than any locals had previously explored, and discovered a gold dragon. Joel, having a high charisma, immediately left the shelter of the passageway to ask its advice/help. Our paladin checked its alignment too late: chaotic evil. The dragon turned around, saw our emissary, and dropped the illusion, revealing a dracolich.
EPITAPH: That'll teach me to trust the DM.
John Doe Mathew Willeford ( no address )
Male, Newly awakened mage, Werewolf/Mage
CAUSE OF DEATH: In a game I was running he made the mistake of accidently fireing a missle into the building where the other players were at. when the other players finally climbed out of the building they cut off his legs before the Get of Fenris elder ripped his throat out.
EPITAPH: "I'm sorry!"
John Doe (Can't recall): cliff (cwiles@mygeek.com)
Male Daconian Aurak (SP), Planescape
CAUSE OF DEATH: I was being a nice DM, and allowed an Aurak. While on a floating ship in the abyss. Our tiefling used his faction ability to create a portal to Sigil (if you believe it, it's real)to avoid certian doom. Unfortunatly Auraks are immune to all illusion. So everyone left that poor lizard there.
EPITAPH: If only you hadn't tried so hard to stack the character in your favor, I might have found a way to save him.
John Doe (Too Long Ago to Remember): Darren Brown
Male Human Magus, Ars Magica
CAUSE OF DEATH: This character was a Diabolist (a really bad thing in ArM, punishable by death). He was discovered and fled the covenant. Two days later, he used his Infernal powers to appear *in his room*, then calmy walked out into the midst of the other characters. Understandably surprised, they asked him what in the *world* he was doing. 'I just came to pick up my stuff.' He turned his back on them and continued on his way. He was then blasted in the back with a dead-center, point-blank-range fireball.
EPITAPH: 'And you've played this game HOW many times before?'
Johnathan VonElsin: Harzak (whitewolf@netreach.net)
True Brujah Vampire, World of Darkness
CAUSE OF DEATH: Drove his Volvo over a landmine while on his way to the castle to get the Necronomicon. Luckily he survived this only to be shot in the back with a rocket launcher.
EPITAPH: He never learned until the end, explosives never, make good friends.
Joshua Callahan:Male, Psychic (and psychotic) Street Punk,Dark Conspiracy
CAUSE OF DEATH: Josh emptied the magazine of his .50AE Desert Eagle into a giant cockroach. When this had no effect, Josh attacked the 'roach hand-to-hand. The 'roach bonked Josh on the head. Hard. This isn't what killed him, however. It was the brain surgery afterwards with several fumbled skill rolls in a row which finally did him in.
EPITAPH: "Joshua, my boy: there's this small matter of outstanding medical bills..." -- Dr. "Knives" Jenarra
Kahlan Amnell: Jamie Logan (jgeorge@tc3net.com)
Female Sylven Elf-7th level Ranger/Druid, 2nd edition AD&D
CAUSE OF DEATH: While wandering deep withen the Tomb Of Horrors, Kahlan's kensai companion found an orange gem. Picking it up, he sensed the gem would give him the power to cast one Wish. After he made the Wish (used frivolessly), the gem started glowing and became VERY warm. The kensai, ignoring the glowing gem, shouted to the others, "it's ok, you can come in now, it's safe!" They did so, just in time for the gem to erupt in a blaze of fire and radiation leaving no survivors.
EPITAPH: And the Ranger/Druid I admired most, met up with a gem and now she's toast...
Kai: Seth (archaic@worldnet.att.net)
Male Toreador, Vampire
CAUSE OF DEATH: Dropped two WP grenades at his feet trying to kill the True Brujah Elder who was sucking his will to live...
EPITAPH: What a hotfoot, what a trip!!
Kal Jericho: Orev (dj_silvertouch@hotmail.com)
Male Human vigilante/rogue, White wolf inspired medieval thing made up by GM
CAUSE OF DEATH: It was a one off game and I had to leave. I decided to make his death mean something. The group was pinned down in cover by bandits. Kal goes "Screw this, I'm bored." draws both his swords, leaps over the wall and charges. He gets shot three times, all three fail to wound. A massive hack and slash fest ensues, in which Kal take numerous wounds, but in fact kills all but the biggest bandit before being finally killed. The big bandit then bends to pay a little respect to the fallen warrior and is promptly decapitated by the party dwarf.
EPITAPH: Died standing, refused to live on his knees
Kane : Peter Stormare (no address)
Male Mercenary, Mutant Chronicles
CAUSE OF DEATH: While attempting to reach and defeat a hideous creature by the name of Iox, Kane and his small band came across a group of fifteen advanced security-droids. In an attempt to blow all of the droids off the face of the planet, Kane threw ten heavy grenades at them. Unfortunately, the grenades blew up a great deal of the building's power core, and that blew Kane and his gang to pieces as well.......
EPITAPH: "Ten grenades should do the trick..."
Kara: Graham Fielding (Nuzzgrond@hotmail.com)
Female Human mage, Ars Magica
CAUSE OF DEATH: Well, we were trying to help a friend become a better role-player. He didn't exactly have a good grasp of spell mechanics. He took a spell that made a fire the size of a house fire, and proceeded to roll for a level 30 spell! This basically turned the spell into a 40-room *mansion* fire. He didn't realize, however, that I was standing right beside him. He lit me, the enemy, the nine trees on either side of us, and himself on fire, then killed himself by running under a tree he'd burned, trying to extinguish the flames on his clothes (it fell on him).
EPITAPH: "Next time, you're not taking *any* ignem!" --Me, after being cooked.
Karl: Kendall Hildahl (khildahl@telusplanet.net)
Male, Gnomish Tinkerer, A&D 2nd Edition
CAUSE OF DEATH: Turned to stone by a medusa, brought back by the party cleric, stupid enough to look at the dead medusa on the ground, turned to stone again.
EPITAPH: I'll never say 'I look around' after fighting a medusa again.
Kinley: Ian Arbuckle (arbuckle@televar.com)
Male, Utter Moron (Fighter), Rolemaster
CAUSE OF DEATH: The brave Kinley was hiding in a cave from some rather annoyed sheepherders, after stealing their sheep. The herders found where he was hiding. Kinley, in all his intelligence, lit a couple of the sheep on fire and prodded them towards the door, hoping they would scare the herders away. The sheep got freaked and ran back towards him and the rest of their comrades, setting them all on fire. Poor Kinley ran screaming away from the sheep... failed a spontaneous intelligence roll and ran into a wall. Unconcios, he burned to a crisp. For an added embarrassment, after he was done cooking, the sheepherders ate him.
EPITAPH: He stole our sheep, but at least he tasted kinda good with ketchup.
Koala Bear: Fonewearl Caity (http://www.matmice.com/home/fonewearlcaity)
Female Fellpool Thief, Freestyle (based on Star Ocean 2)
CAUSE OF DEATH: With a lousy intelligence, Koala did some of the dumbest things ever. She gets trapped up a tall tower with Cyril, one of the bad guys, as one of Koala's earlier actions had blown away the stairs. She casts a Flight spell, but instead of landing, she torments Cyril. He casts Wind of Destruction (kind of self explanatory). She got send into orbit and has been declared MIA.
EPITAPH: Much as I loved her, and much as I hate to say it, she was a dumbass and deserved everything she got.
Krunk: Buddy (budgrayjr@suscom.net)
Male Troll Shadowknight, Everquest d20
CAUSE OF DEATH: Our party was sent to talk with a family of merchants living in the Qeynos Hills area. The husband and son weren't there, but the wife invited us in, but not Krunk. While we were talking inside, the husband, son and a ranger friend of the family saw Krunk wandering around outside the house and thought it was under attack. They promptly launched a volly at the "attacking" troll.
EPITAPH: "I guess trolls don't heal THAT quickly."
Leo Wet-Feet: Richard Lister (http://www.kreeg.freeserve.co.uk)
Male Halfling, War Hammer FRP
CAUSE OF DEATH: Got Hypnotised by a gradfater clock and percieved a 7' barbarian as a small fluffy rabbit and tried to pet him....
