Sometimes when you die, it can be a sad occassion. You've just lost a character you played for 3 years, and his character sheet was in several barely readable pieces. So, instead of just letting the occassion pass, why not mark it with a spectacular result? The table below gives many unusual outcomes of death. Roll a D10 to decide the result.
| 1 |
To your surprise, your character is not actually dead. His theatrical fall form the 16th floor of the Mall was in fact just a very bad joke gone wrong. Ignore the fatal actions and continue with 1 wound until you get medical attention. |
| 2 |
Your character is not dead, but you must make a new one anyway. The char. continues in the game as an NPC, who may return at some point to meet his old friends. He has several grudges. |
| 3 |
Sadly the char. dies thinking of how he wanted to live his life, but didn't. Make a new character. Occassionaly this char. will suffer violent flashbacks from the death of the old one. These are very convincing, and for a while you regress to the old character. |
| 4 |
The remains of your character cannot be removed from the scene of his death. They remain there for ever, defying the will of all industrial strength acids and bleaches. The spot becomes a minor tourist attraction. |
| 5 |
On his death, the character begins to shake wildly and mutters about hamburgers. On closer inspection, the other players notice a large quiff and garish clothes underneath his everyday outfit. You have been playing as Elvis! |
| 6 |
As he falls from the fatal action, the player makes himself an intervening body in the path of a criminals bullet. You save a babies life! The char. dies a martyr, and a memorial is built to remember him by. The other players are offered blood money for their stories... |
| 7 |
The character internally combusts on death, a result of high pressure, too many beans for tea and an unusual weather pattern in the South Pacific reaching America. All traces of the char. are gone forever - except for the splatters on the other players. |
| 8 |
The character realises this is his final chance to do what he wants to. He goes on a rampage, ignoring all wounds, for 10 minutes, until there is no-one left in his line of sight. He then notices his wounds and keels over. You die a happy man. |
| 9 |
As the char. burns/plummets/explodes, at the last minute he is saved by a freak hurricane. Over-joyed by his amazing escape, he is dismayed to find he dies as an anvil drops on his head. Not only this, but a train runs over him, followed by a falling piano, then an A.C.M.E missile, to be capped off by a mouse running in and hitting him with a frying pan.

THE spectacular death. The character explodes, is struck by lightning, hits a mine, falls on a wayward Genius round, any amazing way to die. He is truly eradicated, doing D6 wounds to all nearby players and people. |
