Most role-players have had traumatic experiences during their careers - a beloved player character whose career was tragically cut short by an unlucky dice roll, the cruel whims of the game master, or the treachery of his fellow PCs. Well, this website is your opportunity to commemorate these people for all the world to see. Tell us who they were, what the unfortunate circumstances leading to their death were, and how the world (and their fellow PCs) remembered them.
How to add your character's death: Type your character's name in the create box Type your character's story Add two categories to the bottom of the story: A "type of death" category such as [[Category:Darwin Award]] A "game system" category such as [[Category:Vampire]]	To add your character to the Graveyard, enter his/her/its name in this box:

-The rules are simple. First, pick the appropriate gaming system for your character (if the gaming system isn't listed here, simply create a new link for it in the list and create an appropriate page for the system), and then edit that page by clicking on the edit function at the top of the page and insert a link with the name of your character. Save the page, click on the newly created link (thus creating an entirely new page for that character), and write the story of your character - who he was, and how he died. If you want, you can also enter his game stats at the time of his unfortunate demise, but that's strictly optional. Save the results and you are done! If you think that this particular death also warrants inclusion in one of the special categories (such as [[Embarassing Death]]), you can also enter a link to your character on one of those pages...
