Oh jesus. I hadn't thought about that for at least a week.

Sanchez Progual. Orc Bard.
>my party split up. Sanchez's group all died while fighting demons while mine was fighting worgs somewhere else in the maze
>we find their corpses later, The Witchhuter and Knight still had respectable corpses, just a few gashes on the legs and stomach. Sanchez's body was impaled on three spikes and had acid all over his Skin
> We find the Witchhunter and Knight's Ghosts later on so we got the chance to talk to them but Sanchez's ghost body was being mashed apart by the Demon's God's Magic Giant pillars and looked like a ghostly glob of meat.

This was from a Fallout campaign my friend GM'd a while ago.
>The Party consisting of a kind hearted ghoul mechanic, two ex-brotherhood of steel members and a salesmen Mr handy had to enter a Enclave bunker which a town accidentally built over.
>The town is totally empty though there are signs of a struggle

>The party gets deeper into the bunker reads mentions of a young girl who was forced into a pod because due to FEV exposure she has psi abilities which the Enclave want to use to command robots.
> The exposure also gave her photogenic memory but crippling nightmares and seizures
>They read on and find out she has never left bunker and find a small playground in the bunker
>The party then finds the directors office, with a pile of whiskey bottles and a blood stain against the wall
>The party discovers the director was the girls father and that the pod has kept her alive all this time and she hasn't aged while in the pod
>He was using the pod to preserve her to see if he could cure her of her nightmares
>She had a seizure in the pod causing the base to go haywire
>He ends his last report with "Its too late for me to end her suffering, but if anyone is reading this, please save her and let her leave this place for the first and last time. There is a kill command next to her pod I don't know if there is another world after this but I know I don't deserve to see her there"

Fyodor.

He got dragged away by giant ants, begging my character to save him. He was probably eaten alive shortly after.

My dwarf stalwart defender, Rord. He was the best tank I had ever designed, his AC was retarded and so was he with 5 Charisma. I got him all the way to 18th level, and my DM hated him with a passion due to how he could absorb virtually everything thrown at him. He died after I rolled three 1s in a row while fighting a pit fiend, in the first round of combat, the party got wrecked with only two survivors from that fight. As it turned out the only thing that could break Rord, was Rord himself.

>Running Dungeon Crawl Classics.
>Party is in an arctic climate, fighting against a vile sorcerer who has summoned an army of 333 Night Gaunts. The sorcerer's name is Anath Yim-Wo, and is portrayed like Fu Manchu possessed by Rutger Hauer.
>Party enlists the help of a capricious Elf King called Cernunnos. They succeed in gaining his aid at the price of promising him his choice of captured foes to make his eternal servants.
>A month or two later, they've stirred up enough unrest that the towns the sorcerer was subjugating have now risen up against the sorcerer.
>They lead an insurrection against the sorcerer's forces, culminating in an assault on the symbol of his might - the petrified corpse of the land's guardian Jormungandr, now frozen into a mile high tower.
>Paladin leads the party valiantly to the very top, putting himself in harm's way and stepping in for everyone else repeatedly. DCC is a very lethal game, and the party was level 4, so the challenge was never letting up.
>They defeat the Necromancer and Death Knight minions at the top, only to watch as the Anath approaches in a living glacier made up of frozen corpses and held together with patented Lovecraft Slime.
>The towns are rallied, and the Elf Lord is called upon for the final battle. Cernunnos revitalizes the Jormungandr, and the party rides it into battle like a valiant steed, albeit one with the strength to squeeze an island to dust.

I'm sorry, I know I'm supposed to be attached and really broken up but I forget.

A friend of mine ran the Tomb of Horrors for me and a friend and we tested out some pathfinder hybrid classes that were just released. I was a level 9 swashbuckler and after 2 hours of playing at 4 a.m. we both walked directly into a sphere of annihilation.

Why does FFG love stripping parties of their gear and throwing into gladiatorial arenas? Is this their fetish?

Her name was red, she was a psyker, I was gming and had her in as a npc at the time despite her being the character I used the last time I played.

Other gm has an idea "huh what if she died while he was gming?"

He then told the other players that if they killed her he would give them a bunch of sweet loot.

The next session the opened her cryo pod in the middle of the trip and stabbed her in the heart, despite saving their lives last session by taking a bullet.

The players were all so happy that they killed her, didn't even explain to me at all.

Turns out the other gm that promised them loot was "just kidding".

One of them apologized.

The others were more disappointed they didn't get loot for their trouble.

Mentioned him in another thread, but my Sorcerer, Jeremiah.

He was the only character I thought I played perfectly. He was neutral evil (self serving/selfish evil, not DESTROY THE WORLD MUAHAHAHA evil) in a nominally good party but did EVERYTHING right. Kept his important evil secrets secret, was great friends with the entire party (the Paladin thought he was the most honorable person in the party), worked really well with the goals of the party because it also furthered his own, more selfish goals. He literally, on a daily basis, walked into the Paladin headquarters of the world and struck up friendly chats with the head paladin of the fucking organization because of how often he had helped bail them out (along with the rest of the party).

Then, out of fucking nowhere, 4 god sent super NPCs who could each solo our entire party showed up, saying a god knew who he was, how evil he was, and that he had to die, and my party watched in utter confusion as they proved he was evil with uncounterable, undeniable truth forcing magic then killed him without any chance to retaliate or defend himself. Half a year of development, hijinks, and plans thrown away because he was finally getting close to what he wanted (a bit of an evil coup) and the GM responded to my questioning with "Ballsy move to play an evil character in a good campaign, it was bound to backfire on you."

I'll miss you, Jeremiah. Most fun I ever had both subverting and allying with good from the other side. Obviously a "That DM" moment but it's the only character death I've ever had that truly bothered me and still upsets me to this day.

James The Knight of the Brown Eye. The group started, I said I was in a brothel, the group joked it was a all male brothel. I went with it. His tabbard had a large brown colored eye in a diamond and his main weapon was a crossbow. Skewered by a ghostly halfling out rider a few sessions in. Critical hit with a lance, one blow from full health, chunks everywhere. It was still the surprise round. At first it was a joke, but I ended up really enjoying the character for what little time he lived.

>>44913420
Glad someone thought it was funny besides me, my group still gets pissy :)

>>44913684
Yeah, I was in that thread. Totally bullshit.

I once played Roderick, a Lawful Good Bard (I asked the GM and he was cool with it). We were hunting down some mass-murdering villainous NPCs and had finally gotten some help from a pair of NPC Paladins. After knocking one of the villains unconscious Roderick moved in to slit her throat. I should mention that this particular villain had sliced out Roderick's eye and eaten it in front of him, plus was responsible for about a hundred deaths as far as we knew, including several women and at least a dozen children.

Anyway, as Roderick approaches the downed villain a second one appears and immediately states that he's going to take his friend away to heal her up. The party was in pretty poor straights at this point, we all knew that if we started a fight we'd probably all die, and there was no raise dead available in this campaign.

Roderick's decision was, naturally, to move to the unconscious villain and slit her throat. The two Paladin NPCs tackled him instead, pinning him instantly with clearly fudged dice rolls (I roll a natural 19 and had comparable strength to them) while the second villain carried off his friend. When the villains were finally gone Roderick was unhanded and, more or less, turn to the Paladins and asked why they'd stopped him. They responded by arguing that it was a suicidal move and would have gotten them all killed.

I sat there at the table for a moment, then had Roderick say "By letting that villain survive you have condemned dozens more to die by their hand. Our lives are little when compared with the innocents who will die tomorrow, and the next, and will CONTINUE to die unless they are stopped. Both of you are cowards, and a disgrace to your order."

As I described Roderick turning to walk away, one of the Paladin NPCs stabbed him through the back, killing him instantly. At that point the game basically stopped and everyone stopped playing with the GM.

He died by the hands of the four main henchmen of the BBEG, they took turns on him. He sacrificed himself to give us a shot at escaping the maze and running far away.

Because I enjoy them. Enjoying an RPG =/= crying because you have to abandon your imaginary made up character because he lost his imaginary numbers. That's called being an emotionally immature dumbass.

His name was Wilhelm. He was a Cleric, and the Avenging Arm of his God. He was the first of four.

His death came at his own hand - a noble sacrifice, a price of blood and life, paid to save a thousand lives and souls from the grave-cold grasp of the Necromancer and his armies of unholy abominations. With the last of his blood, he drove out the hungry dead; and with the last of his breath, he drew a tear from their master's eye.

He was the first of four.

****

His name was Donovan. He was a Dragoon, and the Champion of the Unconquered Air. He was the second of four.

He died at the center of the Giant's Maze, having forced his way to the Arena faster than the rest of us. He fell before the Giant, but not before dealing what would prove to be the fatal blow. Even as the beast held his throat in its gnarled fist, he drove his lance into its heart, crying out with his last breath for us to fly forever free.

He was the second of four.

***

Her name was Shalynn. She was a Summoner, and a Valkyrie of the Sacred Hart. She was the third of four.

She was slain, not in defiance of evil or sacrifice for good, but because another desired what she possessed. A feint, a trap, delivered her into the Necromancer's hands; and with those hands, he tore her horn from her head and left her to die, terrified and alone. Too late to be saved, her death yet served to spur another to wrathful, vengeful fury, her carbuncle stolen back from the Necromancer's bloody hands and her body and soul preserved from his foul arts. Her death was the final key to the Necromancer's defeat and destruction.

She was the third of four.

***

My name was Rondo. I was a trickster, a dandy, a ponce and a wizard. I was the last of four.

Of the original four, I alone lived to tell their tale. I alone lived to see it through. I alone brought an end to their quest, and rest to their souls. I alone lived, and I lived, alone.

I was the last of four.

Sheriff Bull, aka "The Bulldozer", aka the best boss I ever had. I didn't know the cartel assassin was telekinetic... on the other hand, I probably shouldn't have thrown a concussion grenade at her. I was her deputy, and I am responsible for the sheriff's death.

I'm alive now, but I aim to fix that mistake. The Marine Sargeant made everything worse... pissing off the razor-ants by shooting through the glacier. I might be responsible for some shit, but he's King of Shit Mountain, and I plan on taking us both down together.

I cant find the thread that made him famous but he was a mundane detective in Unknown Armies. his name was James Xiu his dad was a westaboo and he grew up in hong kong. he took down an international terror cell only to meet his death at the hands of a pack of carnals created by a serial rapist that he gunned down before the avatar of the fool opened their cage. I want to blame him but Jim had a death wish and tons of psychological baggage he kicked the pills and booze but he couldn't kick his violence addiction.

Anriel. Decided to be minimalist and went with the simplest background possible. He was a farmboy who fell in love with a noble girl but couldn't afford the dowry. He became the only surviving character in the original party and despite having his friends die around him, he was still as optimistic as possible. Even though he originally adventured for money, he did it for companionship as his career went on. He died protecting his companions, then they died too. Still my favorite character and I still don't know how to top him. Any suggestions?
