Has your GM ever caused to you to feel in a game before?

Yes.

Feel awesome.
Feel sad.
Feel depressed.

Of course the worst was when my character wound up depressing enough in character that I started getting depressed out of character and had to stop playing

>be biracial
>haven't had much contact with police outside of DARE, got pulled over for a traffic violation once
>make a tiefling with a human father
>get racially profiled by town guards

>>45923892
From the outside, that's kind of funny.

>>45923455
no I'm always the GM

>>45926288
I certainly thought so. Didn't make it not feely

Yeah. In deathwatch. Five year campaign. Enslaver Space hulk.... I'm the last remaining original member of the kill team.....It still hasn't really hit me yet

Yes, I've played Dread and my imaginary father died in it. I was depressed for about a week and didn't want to talk about it for years! Also some other Indie games that I cannot remember but involve introspective shit.

Yeah. Got invited to a village festival after we killed an ankheg in the local fields.
The GM actually brought out his old 5 string banjo and we all sang songs we knew from when we were growing up. We ate an all-meat dinner with meatbread, porkchops, a couple mutton legs, cheap wine, and spinach noodles packed with ground chicken. After we had our fun and laughs we came back to the game and decided we all passed out happily in the inn's basement. When we awoke we heard nothing. No footsteps above, no talking, no sound besides our breathing. We head upstairs and find what we thought was our village. What we find is that the Ankheg was not alone and it's queen and drones came through the town while we were knock-out drunk in the only safe spot in town. The place was covered in blood and half-buried and eaten corpses of every villager in town. You can predict how we reacted.

Very passionate GM would describe poetic death of characters and it always gave me feels and sometimes made me choke up.

>>45923608
bro... I thought I was the only one who went WAY to method for a fucking rpg. I was sad at my imaginary friends funeral

though It was kinda interesting, like our campaign has been going on and off for near 3 years and some of us have used it to work through some shit. I'd normally think that was wanky and self indulgent but we're in a feels thread which is all about that.

then there's that guy who always switches characters and forces the plot along. Then complains about how his characters don't get any screen time. FUCK YOU DOOD no one is invested in your Dante knockoffs! our favorite bartender had more of a meaningful arc than you.

Sometimes I get jealous of how happy the characters get so I kill an NPC and the players feel feels.

...I'm not proud of this

>>45927802
Yeah. We were playing a group of loyalists trying to survive Istvaan III. We killed the leader of a group of ECs trying to find us, and I took his fancy sword, and asked the GM about it. In his description the GM revealed the swords original bearer had been trying to do the right thing, and that all he'd ever wanted was to be a hero and help the people of the Imperium. Suprisingly feelsy.

>>45928047
Did not mean to reply there. My bad.

This from Coyote Gospel?

Played a character who kept trying to do the right thing but due to his motto of being nice to everyone, he kept fucking EVERYTHING up and making it worse. Campaign was about a year long and the more time that passed, the more depressed he got as he slowly began to realize that he was just one giant screwup, almost took his own life once in a fit of sadness.

>>45928041
sounds like my DM
He just recently killed off a sentient mushroom that was a party mascot.
even I got feels for that and my character had wanted to eat him originally.

We're playing a post apoc game and DM has got me worried for real about my baby in-game. So far I've been doing well but he really rolled out all kinds of rules and conditions to properly taking care of it, having it die just by my own lack of being able to provide adequate care has been a huge risk, let alone the usual dangers of living in a post apoc setting as a young woman with a baby.

I've lost sleep over it, I don't know why but this has been really getting to me. I won't be able to take it well if something does happen. I wish I had someone competent in game I could trust or rely on, or even just to provide help or protection, it keeps getting more difficult and I'm not always sure what to do.

>I don't know why
it's only natural, that's probably why. I enjoy emotionally investing myself in stories because as another anon said, it's cathartic. But I don't think I'd care for children in a make-believe world because it would cross my leisure-stress threshold despite any 'father's love' bonus I might earn from doing so.

Daaaaamn, son.

Yes, but also everyone was super drunk at the time, which may have played into it.

Begone from here, Doppelganger!

Oh my, yes.

Godspeed Jordan. You are missed.

I do hope ankheg genocide ensued.

It's from Morrison's Animal Man, which is also where Coyote Gospel's from.

>DM actually feels like a dick
Sounds like there's good reason for that. What exactly is the point of just unloading an absurdly-powerful assassin on the players as they sleep? How is that fun for anybody?

>>45923455
Anger.
Anger's a feeling right?
Yes.
I have felt much anger.

>>45927525
You got Chrono Cross'd.

One of my players once broke down and yelled "EVEN WHEN WE WIN, WE LOSE"
