Do You Keep Any "Guiness Book of Records" Records In Your Game?

[Man in the Funny Hat]

Never have done for D&D but we have for other games. First and foremost would be the famous card game of Nuclear War. Someone managed a really high amount of damage in making his retributive strike so we wrote it down - and then started tracking highest retributive strikes and highest strikes from a single weapon/warhead in a turn. Then started noting excessively small or large populations being dealt, etc. Other wargames and boardgames also lent themselves to keeping a records list, especially when there is a box lid to write them on. Supremacy springs to mind. We had to quit playing that one though - games took too long and we got into too many arguments.

While running WLD we were keeping a running total of all damage delt/recieved by the PCs. Sadly, we ended up dropping that campaign due to player turn-over and have never gotten back to it.

I don't know why I've never thought about doing this; I love the idea. I'll have to try it when I try out 4E.

One of my players keeps a record of several things, in what has become known as "THE BOOK" (must be said in a loud, deep voice)

He tracks
Most damage in a hit
Most damage in a round
Most damage taken in a hit
Most damage taken in a round
Number of kills each character gets, with honorable mention to those who get the killshot on the big bad evil guys.
Number of times below 0 hp
Number of deaths

Funnily enough he is by far the least competitive and the biggest roleplayer of the group.

Cheers,

I honestly never even though of keeping a record ledger.

My greatest personal damage both given and taken comes from my 17th lvl melee focused cleric with a heavy pick (2 handed weapon) in a fight with a Balor.

The parties actual fighter lost his head in round 2 (literally) and the Wizard failed a save vs insanity. That left me mostly alone vs the fiend. Using ye old cleric como - Power Attack, divine power, rightious might and (quickened) divine favor.
134 damage from a critical, and 101 damage the round after (2 hits) only to take the full brunt of the resulting 100 hp explosion. Leaving him with -34 hp, and the knowledege that Protection from Elements cannot be used against "light".

Dumbest Death
A 2nd ed beastmaster, int 5, his tiger companion also had int 5.
after several sessions the player had had enough and admitted his PC was to dumb to play.
saying something like " I wander out into the grasslands, and die of stupidity."
Somehow I decided that ment he had been eaten by carniverous antelope. The Meme of carniverous antelope always waiting to fall upon the terminally stupid lasted for years.
