I have never cried so hard in a game in my entire life.Mind you, I cry at books, TV shows, and movies (and in a few memorable instances, commercials), so crying over imaginary people isn't uncommon for me, but

I would have given you permission, ya know! You never asked...
Once upon a time, I ran a game called Over the Edge (psychosurreal roleplaying), and one of my players tape recorded a bunch of the sessions. Not exactly "fun" to listen to, but they were certainly neat.
This calls to mind the most memorable game session I've ever had...
It was in a long-running Werewolf the Apocalypse game, and we were in one of those 'completely innocent, yet well defended, person needs to die for the greater good' kinds of situations.
There was a lot of planning and moralizing, but fortunately werewolf packs are hierarchical and a top-down decision can quiet a lot of dissent.
(Sean Cooper was playing the alpha, I was his loyal second... he was from a technophilic werewolf tribe, I from the introspective asian martial artist tribe.)
When the time came, I was the only one awake on a rooftop we'd been staking out. Sean's character was the intended shooter, and I was really not going to be able to make the shot well... in the end, I decided to wake him up rather than to try to take the shot myself and the burden of guilt that went with it.
(Yes, 'sniper' was how our werewolf pack rolled. Our totem was a clever totem.)
But at least I don't have a fat head, so I suppose I can live with this. Although, with all the kind remarks, my head is undoubtedly inflating...
Our game is I good one, I have to say. Ups and downs, it's been stimulating, satisfying and an all around emotional smörgåsbord. In short, it's everything I ever hoped for. With such a cadre of wonderful players, I feel like all I have to do is show up.

Okay, maybe I do need to do a little more than that...

I've earned that jerkhead comment, after all. But on the other hand, I do proffer libations following lamentations... So maybe I'm not all bad?

This session also rocked the awesome for 'random comments from the other room' department. :) Hopefully my giggling maniacally didn't disturb you. :)
