Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman wrote a series of books where Death was a woman. A quote from the book went something along the lines of. "For some reason, he wasn't surprised that Death was a woman."Zaia wrote:Ever think that maybe all that skeleton mumbo jumbo was just propaganda for the time when someone would come bearing a challenge such as this? Hmmm?![]()
Besides, being locked into the idea that Death is a bony guy with a scythe is rather bland. Think outside the box, people! C'mon!

Hm, anything from the X-Wing series would suit me fine.
Either that, or one of the Yugioh games for the GBA.

No one wants to challenge Death to a game of Tic-Tac-Toe? ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
If you can't win, you can at least keep him (her, it) from winning, too.

First off, I doubt he'd know what the game was. Second, even if he did, I'm awesome at it. THIRD, even if he knew what it was AND was awesome at it, there's still the luck of the draw![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Any Mechwarrior game. Personaly I would prefer Mechwarrior4 : Mercenaries.
The battle shall take place in a desert map. Both pilots will have clan Mechs and fight by the honorable clan rules of combat. It will be akin to a trial of position.

Cracking up can also be defined as:His Divine Shadow wrote:If death is a skeleton, you lose by defaultweemadando wrote:You keep going until one person can't one-up the other, or one of you loses the completely dead-pan expression and cracks up.
Saying something like: "Thats disgusting-" "Stop it-" "Ewwww..."

The Discworld Death also has a granddaugther(who has on occasion filled in for Death when he's been doing other things, like trying to learn how to forget by getting drunk and such) that is supposedly pretty hot.

For Sex based games I challenge Death to a contest of performing cunnilingus on beautiful women. sinc eDeath Has no tongue and bony chin I will claim ultimate victory. and its win win since I woudl then get to perform cunnilingus on a beautiful woman.
Otherwise Id play him at Conkers Bad Fur Day, then play AS Death in the Multiplayer mode. Death would then be forced to defeat a 64 Bit version of himself.
If possible I would negotiate with him for his Job. I know several people that would be visited within the next coupel days or so afterward.

Reaper man allows there to be many Deaths. The ending implies there to be a different Death for all the universes.
