You can challenge death to one game of your choice before he takes your life away.
What game do you choose and why? Is it because of a challenge, interest or just to stall for time?
>>47045798
Monopoly, using the homebrew rules that yo uget cash at free parking
Is death going to cheat, or play it straight?
DnD 5e, with Death as a DM, my co-players will be Adolf Hitler, mister Rogers and Elvis. I don't think I need to explain my choice.
>>47045798
F.A.T.A.L
There's no way I'd beat Death at a game, so I may as well fuck with him before he takes me away.
>>47045874
I'd actually take death as a party member, by the end of the campaign we'd be bros and shit.
>>47045874
>>47045899
Brutal
Flip a coin. Heads I win, tails you lose.
>>47045798
Game of my choice? Life, obviously.
>>47045798
Dark Souls. 'Cause why not, not like I wouldn't be dead anyways.
>>47045866
Consider both as possible scenarios, but I lean towards playing straight
Well, Pratchett tells us that Death is shit at bridge.
A good game to try would be dominoes, which is mostly random chance with some skill and guesswork.
A game of pure chance like poker or street craps because it's the only way to possibly win
![s-death[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/3x3mZgi.jpg "s-death[1].jpg")
>>47045798
>him
>>47046126
I imagine Death would have improbably great luck. No, you need a game that is reliant on neither chance nor skill.
That's why I'd challenge him to Calvinball.
>>47046194
Perhaps if you challenge death to a game of luck he makes you wager the lives of loved ones
I challenge Death to a game of chess. Why? It's a game I enjoy playing, I've led a good life and no regrets so far, and hey I'd like to think the old boy would appreciate the traditional gesture.
>>47045928
Yeah because you are so good at that game.
I challenge Death to tic tac toe and play to stalemate as many games as possible in the hopes he lets me win eventually, because he'd rather be doing literally anything else.
>>47045798
Hide and seek.
He hides, I seek.
Then I an hero.
>>47045798
Mortal Kombat 9.
I wouldn't be that mad if I lost but I might as well pick a game I am good at.
>Not challenging death to hungry hungry hippoes
I'd slaughter him.
>>47046404
What happens when a dead person an hero's?
Does super death show up?
>>47045798
I choose What's the time Mister Wolf. We'd need a lot more people to play, and Death is Mister Wolf. But I figure he'd get a laugh out of it, and if I win then maybe I can barter for my life?
>>47046303
It's also doubly useful, as he can never remember how those little horse-shaped ones move.
>>47045798
I pick Gihern's Greed.
Hope death cant read moon runes.
>>47046404
Isn't that literally how the invisibility cloak Deathly Hallow in Harry Potter worked?
>>47045798
The Campaign for North Africa
Mostly because I've always wanted to play it and never had the time or space to devote to a play through.
>>47045798
Age of Sigmar.
>>47046475
that looks like an intense game, and that girl looks too young to be playing that.
I'd spend a weekend trying to conquer north africa with a calculator.
>>47045798
Since I figure Death is probably broadly skilled and could outperform me at any particular activity, I figure my best bet would be to challenge him to an entirely luck-based game.
>>47046466
IDK.
I'll let them sort it out while I abscond.
>>47046466
No idea, I never read it.

/r/ing that comic of philosophers arguing over the deeper philosophical implications of Candyland.
>>47045798
>>47046541
IIRC that's the finale of Lord Loss isn't it? The Protagonist has to play chess with a Demon lord or get killed, and the lord takes it super seriously and the protag doesn't, laughing and making dumb moves to throw the demon off? Maybe that'd work on Death?
>>47046570
http://existentialcomics.com/comic/58
Here ya go.
Dungeon quest.
Make him play as sir rohan
>>47045798
How about the game of 'who feels worse about their entire existence?' Being death, he's probably non-committal.
More seriously, I do want to see how Death DM's. Especially if he's Discworld's Death.
>>47045798
Russian roulette, just to fuck with him.
>>47046350
Doesn't matter whether we play badly or well, anon, the end result is still the same. I hope I'd be happy enough to give the wheel another spin at my last.

There's no game I can think of that I could beat Death in, so I might as well go out drunk.
>>47046674
This guy
This guys awesome
>>47046460
All dead are dead equally, so I imagine that the Babel Tower curse is removed and you return to the universal language so he probably can.
>>47045798
Ari-Ari Mahjong. I figure if he doesn't know how to play I can help teach him, and if he does I can get a good game out of it.
Nowhere does it stipulate I get to live again on my win, and honestly I wouldn't want it.
>>47045798
I would challenge him to a game of Risk. The old-school version with the Napoleonic theme and none of this "new rules to speed things up" bullshit.
I've seen games of Classic Risk that have gone on for WEEKS. I want this to take as long as humanly possible.
Simple, tic tac toe. We end up in a tie and forced to play over and over again. Gain immortality. On the down side I have to play a shitty game for eternity.
>>47047526
Weeks, hell. If you're playing a two-man game with the old rules, and you're both sufficiently competent players, that game could run for months.
>>47047526

D&D 4e, with me as DM. I don't know the rules, he doesn't know the rules, and combat will take forever even though the only way he can win is through political intrigue.
>>47045932
Opposing speed runs, both rushing to be the first to link the flame.
First wins.
>>47048304
Then you play monopoly on top of that to decide the economy of the game, thus making the game last for years.

Step up your game, /tg/
>>47048936
>>47048493
Scuse you.
Is this the traditional skeletal Grim Reaper? If so, I challenge him (it?) to a literal pissing contest.
The obvious answer would be to challenge death to a game of Eoris because there's no way you'll be in a situation where you'll get to play Eoris in both life and the afterlife.
One last game of warzone, be cause I don't get to play it nearly enough.
>>47046541
That's the game that's already decided before you start, right?
I'd play that game.
>>47049026
TTRPGS are cooperative not competative, you cannot challenge death to D&D
>>47050410
You can if you decide to be That GM.
>>47046538
>weekend
Anon, weekends are only 48 hours
>>47045798
Shmobooly. A game I play with my little cousin.
The one challenged says a number. The challenger (the shmobool) chooses a number after. If the shmobool's number is higher than the challenged's number, the shmobool wins. Otherwise, it's a draw.
>>47045798
I'd play a full triple AAA release of chapter master against Death, just so I know the game was finished, and when I lose, all of you will be able to play it, my death not in vain.
Who can tell the best joke.
I don't mind dying, but I want the best joke Death knows.

Who gets to judge the joke contest?
What if he just says "why did the chicken cross the road,to get the the OTHER SIDE"
And then just declares himself the winner?
>>47050745
Ofcorpse!
I'd finally have someone to play my homebrew with
Most of the good joke games seem to be listed already (F.A.T.A.L., Calvinball, and a few others). To be honest, being terrified of dying, I would probably hyperventilate, than ask him/her/it to play the longest running game I can think of, as I have no confidence in my ability to win.

Nothing.
Just take me already.

No. The cloak hides you from Death, this anon is talking about doing the seeking and committing suicide so he can find death instantly.
>>47050437
Would you seriously consciously choose to be That GM? Even if it was to save your life? Imagine the sheer disgust Death would have in your regard.
I challenge him to beat me at W40K.I proxy in a Warlord.
Has anyone suggested challenging death to wet t-shirt contest yet?
>>47054477
I doubt any of the posters here have breasts.
>>47050437
>>47054214
I go both ways in thinking about the scenario of playing a game with Death before being taken; on one hand, Death may not appreciate your trying to delay the inevitable and will simply decline to play that game with you if the purpose behind it is to stall for time; on the other hand, I imagine Death (as a character playing a role in the general end of things) as A.) very patient and understanding and B.) omnipresent.
Either way, Death would be more than capable of divining the reasoning behind someone wanting to play D&D as their final game. If Death is the latter of the two, then Death will likely accommodate those who require that bit of time to come to terms with what will happen next. Death would have a 20 in wisdom anyway, so any stragglers would probably be convinced after a couple of hours that it is indeed time to move on.
Oh, and I would be thrilled to play cribbage with Death while having a cup of coffee/tea and a madeleine--when the time comes, that is. I'm not in a rush.

I ask him for a revolver and 11 blanks. I say I need 11 so we can play to 6 points in russian roulette, whoever gets blanked 6 times loses. In actuality, I need 6 to fill out the revolver to guarantee all shots. So I load it up under his assumption that I put in one, while really I put in 6. If I go first then I shoot him six times, if he goes first then he gets shot once by himself, then I shoot him 5 more times.
>>47054485
Funny, all you would need to win is some meat on your ribcage.
>>47045798
And if Death loses the game, do I get to live?
If so, I challenge him to The Game, of course.
>>47054672

The only moment I can win this is before we start playing, so why should I bother and come up with existing games? Let's play a game that has only one rule: I always win.

I mean, he's Death, probably he doesn't have to do all this if he doesn't want to, and if he does it seems bizarrely petty to allow it and then cheat just to be a douche. And if he does have to because he's cursed by Fate or something I'd be surprised he's allowed such an easy way out of it.

>I mean, he's Death, probably he doesn't have to do all this if he doesn't want to, and if he does it seems bizarrely petty to allow it and then cheat just to be a douche.
What im saying is has death had infinite practice time? Or some sort of equivalent knowledge given to him automatically?
Considering how busy he is id assume so.
>>47055462
Agreed, and besides, do you really want to come back to life immediately upon death? What's to prevent you from dying again. Nobody said you miraculously heal. I'd just ask for the best bottle of whiskey he was willing spare and two glasses myself.

This would be my choice too. Two players of relatively adult level intellect should always get a scratch game. Death has been around as long as humanity at least and is depicted as being very intelligent and having all of human history to develop his mind has therefor gotten very smart. I can't help to beet him at any game of wits, games of strength I have no hope of winning as he is the anthropomorphic embodiment of a primal force.
My only hope is that is patience is more limited than mine and he gives up.
