Hi everyone!
I just had what was probably the awesomest D&D experience of my life! I'm playing in the Age of Worms AP (converted to 5e) and we were up against a primordial titan guy. My 16th level paladin used misty step to teleport up onto his shoulders (using the "Climbing onto a Bigger Creature" optional rule in the DMG) so I could get advantage on my attacks.
I then proceeded to roll not one but two natural 20s! I had both my 4th level spell slots free, so I used them both to smite with my moonblade. The two attacks combined did 156 damage (14d8+8 for each one).
That was enough to kill the titan, and the DM narrated the result as me decapitating it.
Well, as if that wasn't cool enough, he decided that that was a good time for my moonblade to get an upgrade ... [A little explanation is needed here: This PC is a replacement for a previous one, and I managed to convince the DM to let her have a moonblade by agreeing that it would only have a few runes to start with but more would unlock over time.]
Guess what he rolled? "00". I kid you not.
VORPAL SWORD FOR THE WIN!!! 
To top it all off, the titan had some girallons aiding him. One came to attack me. I attacked it back and ... got another natural 20!
OFF WITH ITS HEAD! 
Holy crap that was epic!
I just had to share.
Cheers,
Jonathan

He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back."

Well done, Pukunui!

Now THAT is metal, Pukunui.

Congratulations Pukunui!!!! 
That is pure awesomeness! 
May your next session be filled with 1s.
I mean. I like you and all, but it is more important that the fabric of the cosmos be left untampered.
Thanks everyone! Anyone else got an "awesomest D&D experience ever!" to share?

Days like these are just great. Congratulation! :D
The thrill of victory! Great excitement, Puk.
Sharing stories (from an Eberron game, 3.5, at 2nd level or so).
Majolica F. Pearlplate, half-orc double agent, is in a tight spot. Unconscious, stabilized at -6hp, a freewilled skeleton warrior (last remaining enemy) standing over him, threatening to kill unless Majolica's teammates surrender.
The others waver in the setting sun, unresolved.
Majolica spends his action point to regain consciousness. Any action other than crawling at half move will make him dying again. Using his last waking moment, he plunges his Blood of Vol dagger into the groin of the skeleton, scoring a crit, and slaying the skeleton on the spot.
This marked the end of the session and story. Majolica was saved by his team at -9hp, all leveled, and in the dying light of the day, the half-orc manifested the dragonmark of House Tharrask.
