What game would you choose? You get one game, no best out of 3, or any Bill and Ted crap. You play Death in a generally accepted unit of play in said game, be it one match of chess, one round on each side of a TF2 map, or poker until one of you is broke.
Basically: if you death came to you and said “You can live if you beat me in a game of your choosing,” what game would you choose.
I’d like to think I’d have good shot with Team Fortress 2.
If it was just the two of us, I’d have to go with Halo 1 on Rat Race with only assault rifles. If we could find a third and fourth player, I’d probably challenge him to Asshole (or President) assuming that we were both rip-roaring by the time the challenge started.
Unfortunately, I’m out of my prime in both games. That’s the problem with Death; he challenges you when you’re least able to fight back competently.
But I’ve never actually played a PnP session of DnD, so probably not a good idea.
I’d probably go with Connect-4 or “Who can drink the most milkshakes.” The first I think I’d have a shot of winning (probably not), the second would just be a fun thing to do before being taken.
