When playing a roleplaying game, the most important thing you can do to ensure the safety of your character is never leave the room and let the other players continue playing in your absence.

Even if your character survives the experience, it's times like this when you end up drunk, on a train to Vladivostok, with no money or ID, chained to a toilet cubicle sink, and dressed in a clown costume.

No, I have no personal experience of this. Why do you ask?
