I've just finished a 13 hour marathon RPG session - no sleep, no pauses, and my body thinks AM is PM. But that's to be expected when you have fun, I guess.
Anyway, the theme of the day was angst. And the session we played was pretty damn angst-ridden. What I experienced was highly emotional and very touching, yet... is it really that common to play RPGs that way? Do "normal" gamers (if there is such a thing, heh) stay away from more nakedly emotional scenes, or am I way of base here?
Anyway, what I really wanted to hear was any gaming stories you might have on the subject. If, of course, I'm not alone in enjoying the telling of sad tales.

Sadly, my local group is strictly Battletech, no RPGing however much I might dearly want to play a good Mechwarrior campaign. Aside from poor Dave's PC getting stepped on by a Cestus while out-of-mech, not too much sadness there. Yeah, we've got some sick, sick fucks playing OpFor.
