I've recently dived back into D&D after so many years and decided to give myself options with a few characters. The one I'm obviously the most excited about is a Goliath who is a former pro wrestling star, turned indy star and contracted adventurer after his dwarf manager turned on him after his first ever loss. The whole process of writing backstories for characters is one of the most enjoyable parts for me, so I'd love to hear about some other people's.

I'm trying to get a gaming group going with my wife and some of our friends. So far, all we've done is made characters and have a long drunken argument about whether or not a goose would be a good pet for a gnome illusionist. |

I've lost more than one character to a rampaging goose. I vote yes.

My favorite character death of all time was someone getting swallowed whole by a giant catfish.

The funniest way I've ever lost someone is after an epic final battle, they choked on a fishbone they didn't realize they were eating and choked during the celebration.

Though I don't get to play much, I have many fond memories of it. Best death for a character was my friend's thief who tried to backstab a wyvern....didn't work well.

After running games for years and only seeing one character die (killed by another character post-adventure), I got to play test Two Hour Dungeon Crawl, which doesn't require a dungeon master.
First game: My 2 characters walked down the steps at the very beginning and get killed by a goblin.
Second Game: My group of 3 get halfway through the dungeon and get killed by a goblin.
Third game: My group of 4 get all the way through the dungeon, kill the big bad, collect treasure (including magic weapons), but on the way out (right before the exit steps) they all get killed by . . . a goblin.
I swear that was a dragon or something in disguise. It became a running joke every time I ran into another goblin; "It's Gobo the Uber! Run!"

Everyone always underestimates the almighty goblin.

A friend of mine's thief was killed by an old lady with a broom minutes into an adventure once.
