This is what happens in [[Role-Playing Game
Precisely what drives a GM to this extreme varies. Perhaps somebody was a [[Rules Lawyer]] once too often. Perhaps the gaming group mocked his plotting skills a bit too much. The players might have spent all their time going [[Off the Rails|everywhere but where the plot wants them to]]. Maybe the group consisted entirely of [[Munchkin]]s. Maybe they didn't like that [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|"totally awesome"]] [[GMPC]] as much as the GM did and tried to kill him in his sleep. Or maybe the players are just [[Too Dumb to Live]]. Or maybe, just maybe, the GM is a [[Killer Game Master|sadistic bastard]] who's determined to see the players fail ''at any cost''.

* Alluded to in [http://antiheroescomic.com/comic/50 this strip] of [[Anti-HEROES]].
* Tony from ''[[Real Life Comics]]'' does this quite a bit when DMing. His favorite is [http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/000731.html "A dragon eats you."]
* ''[[Penny Arcade]]'''s Tycho firmly believes that this is the final goal of ''all'' [[Game Master|GMs]]. [http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/12/02 Observe his prowess at it here.]
* [http://www.doesnotplaywellwithothers.com/comics/pwc-0021 This strip] of ''[[Does Not Play Well With Others]]'' demonstrates a rather disgusting, but highly amusing, total party kill.
Line 119:
* In the French audio webseries ''[[Reflets d'Acide]]'', one character has a nightmare of the GM punishing him with the French equivalent, the falling necropolis.
** The advantage of the necropolis over rocks is that if the character(s) somehow survive the falling damage from the necropolis, then they have to survive the zombies inside, then the lich lord...
* ''[[Darwin's Soldiers]]'' features a mild version of this the end of the second RP when {{spoiler|Crimson Base levels Pelvanida with a massive airstrike}}. [[Word of God]] states this was done because the GM wanted the RP to end and it was starting to drag on.
