Qaz: Luis Milán (luis_milan@hotmail.com)
Male Half-elf Mage/Thief, AD&D 2nd Ed
CAUSE OF DEATH: Being 1st level, he was in the back of the party when a couple of wererats sneaked up on them. He had only 2 HP left when the party mage shot a fireball, which caused a magical explosion, throwing him through a window into a temple 3 levels below. Another party member casted a "Spook" spell a round later, causing a big stampede of a group of humans praying in that temple, which turned the bloody, slashed and burnt corpse into a bloody, slashed, burnt FLAT corpse.
EPITAPH: His name may be forgotten / his nickname never will / he will be in our minds / Forever known as "Overkill"
Quay Lewd: (no player name given)
Merc, Traveller
CAUSE OF DEATH: Accidentally ate the chieftain of a small, mollusk-like alien race. The natives weren't pleased.
EPITAPH: Hey! I thought he was an appetizer!
Questor: DJ Burnett (kazashima@yahoo.com)
Male Human Mage, AD&D
CAUSE OF DEATH: Fireball from high-level mage he *suspected* was an evil villian in disguise. Attacked her (completely unprovoked) and got deep fried (damage total was over ten times my HP total). Turns out she was seriously a good sorceress that really wanted to help us. Go figure *shrug*.
EPITAPH: Questor meant well when he started the fray He had no gold for an urn ('Twas melted in the fray) So here lies Questor In this ashtray
Raging Gimp: Mark Monterosso (Mark.Monterosso@offutt.af.mil)
Male Human Fighter, AD&D
CAUSE OF DEATH: Party was attacked by two Hill Giants, Raging Gimp charged swinging his sword, fumbled, and was stunned and unable to parry for 4 rounds. During the next turn a Giant picked him up and started clubbing the party with him, rolling two natural 20's in 3 turns. Things went downhill from there when a fighter (Raging Art) aiming for the giant hit him with three arrows.
EPITAPH:
Ralf: Adam (no address)
Human Psionocist, AD&D
CAUSE OF DEATH: Tried to metemorphasis into an fire elemantal but roled a 20 and became it permanently. That is all fine and good but we were in a very very gasous swamp and I had forgotten that.
EPITAPH: Have you ever seen a mushroom cloud?
Ramok and co: Jason (janicet@ihug.co.nz)
Male Party, ADAD/Realms
CAUSE OF DEATH: Entire party died when Ramok the barbarian attacked the Mayor(who was paying them) for being rude. Instead of breaking up the fight the others 'joined in'. They were aptly finished of by the local guard. This was after completely forgetting about a fellow comrad dying in a trap, saying "We'll be back for you, I swear".
EPITAPH: Steven (Ramok's player): "surely our players went strait to hell after that."
Ray "Weapon King" Focker: Rick R. Mortis (rickr@ihug.com.au)
Male Mechwarrior, Battletech/Mechwarrior 2
CAUSE OF DEATH: Ray loved to carry around weapons. LOTS of weapons. Anti-tank rockets were sidearms. Grenades were a fashion accessory. Ray was sneaking through a mechbay -- it's hard to be quiet when you've got that much clanking metal on you. A guard spotted him and fired...hitting one of his many grenades. Boom.
EPITAPH: Grenades are not body armour!
Regen the Slayer: John Baker (baker-j@ix.netcom.com)
Male Male Warrior, AD&D 2nd Edition
CAUSE OF DEATH: Regen was easily the most powerful character in the party and everyone knew it. (I don't fudge die rolls for PC's) The party discovered a little treasure trove which contained several "potions". Regen decides he will test one, and I promptly ask him to save vs Posion and roll well. He missed his save, and I announced "Regen grimaces and falls, convulses several times and dies." The player stared at me incredulously. "He dies?!?" Pause. "He convulses and DIES!?!?" At that point the player playing the party's Cleric, who was intensely studying his character sheet, suddenly shouts out "Oh sh*t! And I had a 'Detect Posion' on this scroll from the last game"
EPITAPH: Sorry Charlie.
Regis "Doc" Martin: Daryl Jennings
Male, Mad Scientist , Deadlands
CAUSE OF DEATH: Blown roll on "Use explosives" while trying to distract a confederate encampment.

Reyn Swift: Christopher (happynorker@yahoo.com)
Male Elven Archer, AD&D 1st Ed
CAUSE OF DEATH: The party was deep under the Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun. They'd come across an underground orchard with different colored fruit trees. Reyn grabbed a dark colored apple, and was immediately zapped for a healthy dose of damage. Recovering, he for some bizarre reason figured that it couldn't hurt to try it again... and as he plucked the second apple, he was instantly vaporized into fine powder, no saving throw, no chance of resurrection!
EPITAPH: You're gonna try it AGAIN?!
Rintrah: Jean-Ren Savoie (jrsav@quebectel.com)
Male Minotaur, fighter, AD&D
CAUSE OF DEATH: Poor Rintrah accepted a meeting given by a powerful demon. He entered the gate leading to the Abyss...only his head returned.
EPITAPH: Minotaurs are NOT stupid !
Rhyllian Bowslinger: Steve Darlington (sjd@maths.uq.edu.au)
Female Elven Archer, AD&D
CAUSE OF DEATH: DM stupidity: I was DMing, and now playing her as a NPC (we'd just switched DM's; I had been playing her as a PC). A very nasty man was hunting the party down, and in a battle, managed to grab her and use her as a hostage. He calls out to the invisible mage (her brother) 'Come out, or I'll kill her'. Being a rather wise, prudent and cowardly person, the mage stayed put. So, keeping in character, the bad guy had to kill her. D'oh!
EPITAPH: Don't put your own characters into certain death situations
Richard Cardoza: Stephen M. Courtney
Male Hunter/Vigilante, Heroes Unlimited, 2nd Ed.
CAUSE OF DEATH: The party was escorting Mr. Cardoza back to the Academy where he was Headmaster. They successfully defended his convoy against two invisible, teleporting snipers, one on the roof of his armored limo, where the unknown assassin dropped her rifle. Arriving at the Academy, Cardoza gets out of the car and T-Pin's (a psionic) Sixth Sense screams danger. He yells "Get back in the car!" thinking that would be safe. Unfortunately, the rifle that had been left on the roof was rigged to overload. It exploded, killing Cardoza and his driver. The other heroes were reprimanded rather severely.
EPITAPH: T-Pin: "Get back in the car!" BUH-WOOOOMMM!!!
Roger: Qcipher (qcipher@mediaone.net)
Male Investigator, Call of Cthulhu
CAUSE OF DEATH: After much whining to join a game already in progress the gamer rolls up a character as fast as he can. In an effort to make it up to the other PCs who had to wait he is very eager to help out (obviously a first time Cthulhu player). While investigating a haunted house they are on the 2nd floor and want to investigate a crawl space/attic. Bravely volunteering, Roger is boosted into the attic. He looks around a few moments and flashes a light around and then responds with these very unflattering last words. "Hey guys, it's all clear!! Waaaaaaugh!!!" Then a shower of blood ,viscera and mangled flesh rains down from the opening into the attic. There was an invisible monster up there.
EPITAPH: It took 20 minutes to make this character, and 20 seconds to paint the walls with him.

EPITAPH: Here lies the body of Roy Slim,
Mighty fast and mighty dim.
Russel Worthington: ? (?)
Male, Retired Army Officer, , Call of Cthulhu
CAUSE OF DEATH: When confronted by a pair of zombies in an underground chamber, our intrepid hero fled back towards the surface. When he found the trap door locked, he waited there, crouched under the door. When our intrepid hero's flashlight ran out of power, he began to slowing burn his clothing on the end of his shotgun.

Unfortunately, one of the gibbering husks was a plasma projector and his powers fired off in Sean's direction, frying him to a crisp.

Arms tied backwards to a large boulder on a platform, large boulder tied to rope attached to neck. Any movement would either cause the arm boulder to fall down ripping off the arms, or the other one to drop, effectively hanging him.

Unfortunately, when we opened the door to the next room, the Dragon breathed into the room, avoiding us, but hitting the Djinn, succeeding in sending the Djinn into a rage, fortunately directed at the priest.

Sheridan Hall: John Poniske (Fuzzball@vampirethemarquerade.com)
Male Ventrue Banker (20th century), Vampire:The Masquerade
CAUSE OF DEATH: Poor Sheridan and his coterie had awakened an ancient demon. As the coterie fled Sheridan turned (beneath a large stone archway) to delay/taunt the Demon, screaming "You can't kill us all!" The demon responded with the predictable "Yes, but I can kill you" and incinerated Sheridan with green flames, dropped the several ton archway on his still smouldering corpse, and leaped up and down on the hill of stone. The rest of the coterie is still running... to this day.

Drow's partner, a blade, places tip of sword near ranger's spleen. Soleme says "F*** ya's all, scroll's mine". Amazingly enough, everyone made their rolls.
