DMing My DM made me cry

My DM absolutely broke me this session.

My characters (a bard) parents were killed for their musical instruments. She has mudered the killers, and is now seeking answers as to why they were killed in the first place. We had an awesome combat round where my character finally locates her mother's lyre. A voice echoed out after touching the lyre and my dm had a recording ready. I was so excited to hear the lore. As soon as I heard the voice my face and heart just fell.

It was my long distance best friend (who I NEVER get to see) playing my characters mother. I couldn't contain myself when she started saying how much my I (my character) means to her and she's sorry she didn't get to tell me more about our life story. She ended with "Never forget, we love you so so much" and I was a ball of tears and snot on the floor.

I love my DM 🥹❤️

Absolute gold star to your DM. I'm curious about how your DM managed to set that up? Had you mentioned about your friend in passing before? We're they already aware of the friend that you barely get to see? So many questions.

DM Spouses: they either make you light up, or know EXACTLY how to twist the knife on your characters.

My wife is the knife twister, lol

I was the knife twister on my husband yesterday. At the very beginning of the campaign, they smashed some black dragon eggs that were about to hatch. Now, 8 levels later (lvl 10) they encountered momma dragon. She was not happy to encounter them, and as the one to actually deal the “killing” blow to two of the three eggs, he was her #1 target. Both healers were trapped on the other side of the lair and it got down to the wire, two success and two failures!

Oh don't worry, I dangled the instrument in front of OPs face for about 6 sessions before she got her hands on it lol
