>high fives all around

And that was the story of how I made it to level four.

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.
