Harder than punching a raging bull to death after he's gored both your biceps?  Where if you still have your starting character after the third session, you're probably cheating?Where I Blather About A Bunch Of Pointless Crap Because Threads Are Cooler If The Opening Post Is Twelve Paragraphs:Odd question, I know. But I ask because sometimes, I get a streak of masochism and I want to die. Repeatedly. Gloriously.I mean, how else can you explain that one weekend where I was ruthlessly slaughtered about five-thousand times before I beat <a href="http://www.doomworld.com/hr2/" target="_blank">Hell Revealed 2</a> on Ultra-Violence... WITH the <a href="http://www.skulltag.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=16237" target="_blank">Hard-Doom</a> add-on?  My head just started pounding from the memory of how much I yelled at my monitor.  Did I mention I love <a href="http://cutstuff.net/blog/?page_id=31" target="_blank">Ghoul's Forest 3</a>, because its gamestyle can be summed up as "one wrong move and you're DEAD"?Or that I use similar mods in games like Morrowind and Oblivion where enemies do about quadruple damage just because it's more exciting?Or that I've spent a few hours reading up on all the ways you can die in <a href="http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Nethack" target="_blank">NetHack</a>, and am seriously considering giving it a try?  <a href="http://www.ffhacktics.com" target="_blank">Ditto here</a>.Or that, with a rictus grin, I watch stuff like [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r86NLwCYXfk]this[/ame], [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUefYz6cDUY]this[/ame], and [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw4T0zBX8rc]this[/ame]* because it makes me so darn happy?* I challenge anyone to re-enact THIS battle in D&D!!Sometimes I just wanna get my ass kicked. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />And now I'm curious as to how and where I can best receive this type of beating (yet still prevail, broken and bloody, manly tears spilling from where my eyes used to be) in tabletop gaming as well.Something like, "You attempt to melee with the 300 ft. tall primordial, but he interrupts! You are summarily backhanded by one of his thousands of stone tentacles that are also made of lightning, cold, and the tears of orphans and you take *rolls dice* 134 damage and are pushed 30 squares and knocked prone and stunned.  I'd say more, but you seem to require new underwear. I'd say the same thing about your character, but he doesn't need to worry about that, missing his lower half and all."Yes, that sometimes is exhilarating for me! <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" />There's gotta be other occasional gluttons for punishment out there who know where to get a fix. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/angel.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angel:" title="Angel    :angel:" data-shortname=":angel:" /></blockquote>
