>brother, playing warforged fighter, assists my MIGHTY LEAP into the air, where I pose mid-air shouting about the HONOR OF THE MASK
>TACKLE A FUCKING DRAGON
>deal unarmed damage, latch on, take deep breath in preparation for the underwater struggle

>I pin the dragon's wings, sending it and me hurtling into the ground. I have six seconds to make my final statement.
>"I AM LOS TIBURON! And I am... a lucha!!!"
>Dragon's neck snaps on impact
>Through sheer luck or GM fiat, possibly both, I survive at -4 HP
>Cleric brings me back at one, picks me up, holding one arm into the air
>My brother immediately bangs his shield twice, making a bell noise
>Party's bard/diplomancer: "And the winner is... Los Tiburon!"
>high fives all around
And that was the story of how I made it to level four.

you win d&d forever
You win D&D when everyone has fun; I’d call this supreme victory
This is the first RPG story I remember reading, a few years before I played my first game.
I remember being 16 and standing in a car park with my friend, recounting this story and his only real response was "you fuckin nerd".
I literally think about this hobby every day now, and write about it in some way every day too, I guess he was right.
