Re: PC kills PC was Re: [DL] "Mundane" Death

I could write a book on players killing each other and other player deaths

I used to run a old west Masque of the Red death campain in which I had a party last 7 minutes, three times as long as it took to roll up the charectors. They rolled upp their charectors, met and rode out of town. They immediately met two bandits and everyone pulls iron. I had four players, everyone rolls initiative, Player one rolls a one and shoots player 2, killing him. Bandit 1 rolls a twenty and kills player 3, player 4 rolls a one and shoots himself in the foot, it did enough damage to kill him.

Spoiler


In Deadlands I had just run a group through the Forgotten God dime novel. They had just killed the main baddy, who had the ability to strike a gizzards hit with his sword every time. Once they got him killed, and before anyone had put their weapons away Player 1 yelled "I want to check out the sword!"
Player 2 (an Agency operative): "No don't, It could be dangerous."
Player 1 "It's probally a magical item" (these are all big D&D players)
Player 2 "It could be cursed"
Player 1 "Thats stupid, I bend over and pick it up"
Player 2 "I shoot him in the back of the head with my gattling pistol"

To be honest I was totally shocked. Roll, roll, roll, reroll an assload of aces, he did like 6 or eight wound levels to the head. Then player 2 wants to examine the sword, it is old, rusty and pitted, which I would have told them if they would have given me a chance.

That was by far the most senseless gaming death I had ever seen

Just one so far, assuming players who have been
rendered unrecoverabe don't count.  The Harrowed woman
took the Huckster out to look for water and only she
came back.  Poor Adam; he drew the most AMAZING hand
for Kyle MacDonnal, only to have him die in the first
third of the module.

We also had a party of mad scientists "fire" a PC for
being insane.  Tee hee hee.

In both cases, however, everyone was fine with it.
Disappointed in the case of Kyle, but not overwraught.
