Reasons Why Mike Is Not Allowed to Talk to the Public, Volume 11

[Mike Selinker]

Gen Con Player: "My character just died. What happens now?"
Me: "It's organized play, son. If your character dies, you die too."

That is up there with attacking the Gazebo.

A DM handed out a simple magic item for each player. The bard was a late addition so he did not get an item. He asked for one and the following was actually said:

DM: "Okay, I shall give you a runed guitar."
Bard: "What? I don't want a ruined guitar."
DM: "No, a RUNED guitar."
Bard: "I said I don't want a RUINED guitar."

This went back and forth for at least 5min.

Marcie, get out of here. YOU'RE DEAD! You don't exist any more.

I, for one, feel totally vindicated.

I can see a 1 star rating for the S&S set coming up:

1/5: When my fried's character died, he died as well. Would not recommend.

[Orbis Orboros]

Chief: Officer Dilbert, how did the victim perish?

Officer: Several lacerations to the face and neck, as well as the torso area, sir. It appears one of them severed a major artery in his neck.

Chief: I see. Was it a blade, or some kind of animal?

Officer: Of the two, I'd have to say animal, sir. You see, he was struck down by a banshee.

<Beat>

Chief: Come again?

Officer: A banshee, sir. You know, WhoooOOOOoooooOOOOoooo!

<Pause>

Chief: Go home and get some rest, Dilbert. We'll discuss this tomorrow. Oh, and send in Sergeant Fred, will you? He was the one who signed off on your coming back from Psych Evaluation, wasn't he?

We got to play two sessions at Gen Con, we had 2 characters narrowly escape death. I guess if it would have happened and they slumped over in their chairs I could have gotten myself a couple more class decks and some dice. :)
