* As noted in one of the page quotes, likely to happen both in and out of character in role-playing games, regardless of characters' supposed morals. In extreme cases, and due to the freedom of most such games, particularly vicious players--theplayers—the kind whose group you leave and hope to never see again--mightagain—might even plot to kill another player's character and divvy the stuff up if they have particularly good loot. Can also lead to conflicts of interest where a good roleplayer wants the stuff but has to play a character who would do anything to get their friend back.
** Also a rule in [[Munchkin (game)|Munchkin]], actually the only penalty for dying as your new character is the same level, class, race, as your old one.
** A potential rules exploit, as new PCs start with magic items in 3rd and 4th edition [[Dungeons and Dragons|D&D]] as replacement characters usually start the same level as their previous character with loot appropriate to their character level. The party gets to keep the old character's loot while the new character brings in new loot.

* If you die in ''[[Half-Life 2]]'', sometimes the rebels accompanying you will lay claims on your crowbar or hazmat suit.
* This can often cause the death of many a dwarf in ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'', as, if one of their brethren is felled, an opportunistic dwarf may rush straight towards the corpse to pillage it of its equipment, and get promptly killed by whatever caused the first dwarf's death. Then another dwarf may try to collect the loot of both dwarfs, and meet the same demise. [[Overly Long Gag|And yet another...]]]
* In [[Minecraft]], when you die you drop all your stuff. This means that somebody around you can pick it up, and keep it for themselves.

* One of [[If You Die, I Call Your Stuff|two]] [[Big No|contrasting]] reactions in [http://arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/1782.htm this] ''[[Arthur, King of Time and Space]]''.
* A variant, in [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=6 this] [[The Noob]] comic - After meeting a veteran MMORPG player who is about to quit, the title character asks, "Can I have your stuff?"
* In ''[[Erfworld]]'', when Parson is pulled into Erfworld by Wanda's summoning spell, one of his fellow gamers' first comment is "Dibs on his dice."
