About "Rocks fall, everyone dies"

[Flemroid]

I'm sure this has been discussed and it makes sense I just can't seem to find it anywhere. If all players died when Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies was played would all items and cards just be discarded as no one could loot any bodies?

Yes. The normal rules for death apply. If you are dead, you cannot receive cards, so you cannot loot.

In fact, this exact situation was the impetus for spelling out that rule explicitly.

I have an interesting question about this card and an epic bug. If I remember correctly, an epic bug has regeneration and can't die because of bad stuff. Could an epic bug survive this card killing off the party?

As a follow up, could a Tough Zombie still loot?

Death from this card is like any other version of Death; if you have something that prevents you from dying, you won't be killed by this card, either.

Excellent. Thank you. This will be a wonderful curve ball for my group.

edit = After looking at the bug race again, I realized that the epic ability is to not lose levels to bad stuff, death can still happen.

Now I have a different situation for my previous question. Let's say I am a Mystic from Super Munchkin, can sacrifice a level instead of dying. I am in combat and lose, the monsters bad stuff is death. Could I play Rocks Fall, Everybody Dies and still use my ability to avoid death while everyone else dies?

I am more leaning towards that they wouldn't die because I didn't die, but not 100% sure since I am using a class ability to change the bad stuff outcome for just myself.
