Greets. Not sure if any of you have had table top RPG sessions gone to ****. AKA RPG Sessions where the game translated over to RL/Out of character and everything at the table became FUBAR. Was talking with one of my players/co-gms last night and we were exchanging TPK/Gone to **** stories. In the moment they were terrible, but after the fact they are laughable. Here are mine...

1.) A friend was running a D&D 2nd ed Drow campaign. After a long battle with gnomes or other Drow the eldest son was down to 1-2 hit points. The person playing the second son said something along the lines of "I go behind him and slit his throat." (Reference to killing the eldest son). Safe to say that the PC of the eldest son went FUBAR.

2.) The Cyberpunk 2020 Game Gone to ****: Convention. First time playing table top in 10 years for me. 4 PCs - Solo, Nomad, Doctor, Face. I was the doctor. Only the Solo and the Nomad have guns.

The players woke up in a hospital after being in a coma and found out that the city has been overrun by zombies (28 Days Later influenced). We go to the parking garage and find an abandoned Ambulance. Nomad and Solo get into the driver and passengers seats (Solo driving). Me and the Face in the back of the ambulance.

All of a sudden we get chased by zombies. The Face and I yell for them to pass a gun back to us so we can shoot zombies. The SOLO (Driver) says "NO." The PC acts out holding onto a shotgun like it was his baby son. The Nomad player gets ANGRY and tries to disarm the SOLO of his shotgun and pass it back to us. CRITICAL FAIL on the roll.

SOLO PC in retaliation shoots the NOMAD PC. CRITICAL SUCCESS. Nomad PC is dead. All this while the SOLO PC points a pencil at the temple of the NOMAD PC to act it out OOC..

The NOMAD PC slams his fist onto the table and LEAVES the Game.

awkward silence at the table....

Suddenly the FACE PC states "Never done this before. But this game has turned really weird. I'm leaving too." FACE PC leaves the game.

GM Calls the Game.

This was a 4 hour game session blocked off at the convention schedule that ended in 15 minutes.

After: Went to go drink with the GM and since he has become a good friend.

Do you guys have any similar stories to share? Thanks!

Feel free to add in TPK stories. Team Party Kill stories are always fun to look back and find humor in.

The last TPK story for me was in 5E D&D. My friend and I decided we could rescue the farmer's daughter from the old ruin where her captors had taken her. We were 1st level and thought it would be ok. We got into a great fight on the upper story with cultists and defeated them, but in the dungeon under the castle a warlock and 4 skeletons killed us. Last thing my character saw was the warlock grabbing the girl and dragging her away.

Bad dice rolls were the main culprit, but the DM said he had underestimated the damage the spells could do. I actually had a great time and felt the death was just. If we had been deus ex'd I would have been disappointed. Exitus approbo!

Wasn't quite TPK, but back in the 80's, playing Stormbringer, it came close.

GM and I were quite into Michael Moorcock at the time, none of the other players had read it much. Around the time my character acquired a demon sword that drained the intellect of foes, giving him power and also zombies in his thrall, things went downhill fast. Ended up as a solo campaign . . .

Vampire the Masquerade, circa '97. A group of grumps and a Storyteller that didn't really have the respect of the players (not proud of my behavior, but I was pretty young at the time).

We ignored his quest giver, went way off the rails, staked a Primogen with a pool cue, collectively diablerized a few older vampires, and started an independent cell of the Black Hand - all in the fist session. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't a second session.
