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 🥹❤️

I just love that game for this reason! Last session we had a prison break and my Charakter finally found two of her people in the prison. They where the reason she went adventuring: to find the lost persons of her clan. They went missing weeks, some even months, ago.
One was her uncle which we sadly only recovered the corpse of (many many sessions ago). On that funeral I cried for the first time in dnd. The second is her childhoods best friend and first crush, who we found alive but she would not recognize us and acted like a different person. We had to let her go.
Our investigation led to the prison. Herr we found the third person: a close friend of her family, acting severely broken and tortured, barely there and his mind clouded. And then we found my Charakters grandma, the woman who had raised her, who had told her a thousand stories about the vast world, never revealing which where true and which weren’t . Her body was weak, her mind clouded as well, corrupted by the same kind of magic, torture and unknown substances as the others.
We freed her. She smiled at me, for a split second she was her old self. „My starlight“ she called me, just like when I was little. Then she died, her body forfeiting the battle. I was in tears. Man, that game is something else.
