Classic moment...

I was 12, and had built up my character Lord Webur (named after my cat Wilbur... long story...) over many run throughs of MicroQuests. My older brother David walks by as I'm playing TFT at the family room table, and he convinces me to let him play the lowly wizard I encounter during another stint of Death Test 2.

First round: lowly wizard's turn to act after Lord Webur closes in on him.

My brother announces: "He throws all of his strength into one fireball spell." My brother rolls to hit, and manages to get a low enough roll to overcome the range penalty. He rolls a handful of damage dice and clearly wipes Lord Webur out in one fistful of fire.

I immediately protest: "That would never happen! He wouldn't risk his life on one spell attempt and collapse!" My brother, 7 years my senior, lets loose a laugh of victory only an older brother could muster, knowing he just squashed his little brother's treasured character.

I declare the battle null and void, due to "unrealistic play".

I still look back at that as a great memory :D I love my brother, but he sure could be a mean big brother a-hole back in the day :D
