So I lost my first RPG character last night. We're playing Lamentations of the Flame Princess, which is like a weirder, grosser D&D (seriously, there's a campaign-level monster called The Time Fucker) and it was my first RPG. Clem was a halfling. Husband was an elf, which in this universe is like a demon from some horrible hell dimension. For my first RPG our GM chose The Grinding Gear, which is popularly called a 'fuck you dungeon'.
Anyway, after narrowly escaping green slime, a giant face-eating spider, and venomous centipedes, I fell and knocked myself out running from something called a gelatinous cube. I then had negative HP, which I didn't know was possible, but I was out for a full day and Sarin the demon elf had to carry my ass around a while. Sarin and Clash Nemesis came upon a series of puzzles that referenced some stuff that had happened before, and if you got the answer wrong your butt got electrocuted. Well, they got one wrong. BZZZZZT! Dead halfling. They survived, the bastards, but at least the other female party member got iced by poison gas, so we commiserated.
So who else remembers how your first RPG character bit the dust?
