I ran with a group where the GM had a list of things said by a character before they passed on to the other side. It was funny and I would love to see something like that for Shadowrun. I haven't been keeping a list so I don't have anything to add at the moment. Things that you post should be like the following...

Nightshade (Mage) - "Should I really summon this Fire elemental inside a gas station? Oh well you only live once." Nightshade died as the entire gas station exploded in a petrol fueled fireball.

Please share some of your Player Characters humurous (Darwinian) final moments  8)

Not shadowrun, but we have some good ones.

I think my ex's druid getting killed by a bear trap was just... worthy. XD

The senile, totally batshit crazy, old wizard that was FOR SOME DAMNED REASON up front sucking two fireballs in rapid succession. (One in the surprise round, the first round of combat the enemy sorceress went first for init and cast it again).

OH! And my fighter. DM rolled a 1 on the percentile table of random encounters so it was just ONE big ass rat. One. Not even a dire rat. Not one rat swarm. Just one really big rat. I come up first for initiative and decide to be a punk and just punt the thing.

...


Four natural ones later from three different players, and I'm on my back, dead, and slightly singed with my buddy's axe in my forehead, and the rat is running for its life laughing it's scruffy little ass off.

Oh it still counts. ESPECIALLY since they weren't her most powerful spells. Damn vampiress.

Still got that around somewhere so i will check.  So apparently her highest level spell was Greater invisibility, which, if I remember correctly I forgot about it.  I also forgot that fireball was a third level spell.  Also you bunched up so nicely on the top of that tower.

Again, not Shadowrun, but a player in my Forgotten Realms campaign a few years back.

Being chased by a dust devil in some ruins, the character turns the corner and sees some stairs leading into darkness. Wanting to put as much distance as possible between him and the dust devil, he tells me he runs for the stairs and jumps down...

... right past the edge of the stairs where they fell off into the 100' cavern below.

Moral of the story? Yep - "Look before you leap." :D

@chaoticxinsane That counts. If the character died then it counts :)

@FastJack. That is exactly the type of thing I was talking about. My old D&D GM had pages of those types of stories. We would crack up reading about other characters last moments.

"You can never have to much explosives"

This said by the Combat Engineer just before he rolled his skill dice, and then rerolled four sixes (this was under SR1 or 2 when you did that), then rerolled three sixes, then rerolled three sixes, then rerolled two, then one, then one, then one.

The house went boom, the gas main went boom, every gas main on the block went boom, every house on the block went boom.

"There's something behind me, isn't there?"

"Hey, you've got a red dot on your head."

"Come on. It will be funny!"

From a shadowrun game  "You are throwing the gernade where? You know we will be in the blast radius."

"Only the edge of it we'll be fine."

The 1st character died in the ensuing blast
"Walking through walls isn't tough..... if you know where the doors are."
"It's not being seen that is the trick."

Annoying player wouldn't stop shooting at the Johnson with miracle shooter and making the noise "pew pew". Before the Johnson left he leaned over the table and whispered in the players ear "Beware the grey hound"

Next scene meeting with the sketchy chiphead that had intel on the run. Same player shooting him with miracle shooter (again "pew pew"). Right before the chippy gets spooked and runs from the invisible brain gun of the player he yells "Beware the grey hound"

Stopping at the bar for a drink and to catch up on gossip the bartender. Player begins to shoot everyone in the bar (pew pew pew).
All noise stops in the bar and everyone hears "HONK HONK"

Just then a bus plows through the wall of bar directly into said player

It was ,of course, a "Grey Hound"
