D&D 5E Totally bragging

[gweinel]

I have managed to make a couple of players to cry for the story i made for them. And the tears weren't because their character died.

Someone once told me not to worry, the session was "alright."

The best I can do it, "Good job man, tonight game didn't always suck."

Did you kick them in the shins?

I had a group at one point that paid me $4/hour to GM. (Minimum was $4/hour at the time.) They weren't worth GMing for, so it didn't last, but, yeah, I had a paying GM gig for a while.

I did that to my daughter once, at the end of Temple of Elemental Evil. I felt terrible.

I once made a fighter feel so bad for the Flameskull in Wave Echo Cave that he gave it the Gauntlets of Ogre Power as a gift... XD

I just got a bottle of scotch (Laphproig Cask Strength, for those interested - smokey) from my players as a "thank you - happy holidays"...does that count as bragging rights?

No, it counts as a bribe.
A tasteful one.

Tell him it would be cheaper for him to buy you a copy of Fantasy Grounds Ultimate edition (or a monthly sub) and then you could run a long term campaign with him as a player.

*Edited: I forgot to put "Shameless plug" in the post.

I once, during a tournament, made a DM laugh so hard she was hospitalized. Unfortunately the head of the store had to take over our table and he'd never DMed, so the rest of the table hated me for it.

Moral: Get medical histories from DM's you've never played with before.

I use too many props with tactile elements- burnt maps that fall apart if handled carelessly and the like. He was one of my players for years before moving to NYC and apparently feels that the face-to-face is worth the price of the ticket. Also, he keeps trying to trick me into moving out there; I suspect that is a factor in his ploy, too.
