A similar situation popped up in the game I ran. A Player Character died. When he was buried, it was decided that most of his equipment was going back to his father. Dain was buried with a "standard spread" of equipment and some of his "special items". Later that evening, some of the less savory characters had a change of heart and conspired to loot the grave. They snuck out of camp, and went to the grave. They took their shovels in hand and said "OK, we start digging." I replied (turing the room lights down) "Who takes the first shovel of earth from Dain's grave?". There was a pause, and a "You First" look passed between them. Dain's grave remains undisturbed. That kind of playing is why I still do this... stuff. -- Dr. Bob UUCP ..!{ihnp4,cbosgd,seismo}!plus5!bob PHONE 314-725-9492, 314-631-3417

Here is what we do : AD&D (Good characters) : bury most essential and private items. AD&D (Evil characters) : HA! Strip the body naked and feed it to the dogs! Altho' it never gets to that : in our games, if there is anything left of the character, the other players will bring him/her back to life... Altho they might take all of the posessions of the unfortunate one and make his/her naked animated corps walk 100 miles to his/her god's temple to get RAISED. ElfQuest : in to the pyre with all the meager posessions. Traveller : grab all you can before the authorities get here! V&V : Only fools die in V&V ( or your GM is an asshole! ) Paranoia : By dying you have damaged Computer's property : uniform and armour issued to you to better fight the traitors with. If you were still alive you would surely have been executed for treason! All the equipment of the dead character is returned to the storage. Sanitation robots dispose of the body...
