Anyone who's played a tabletop game at some point is familiar with the woes of cursed dice that, against all odds, seem to conspire against the roller. Of course, this isn't actually how probability works, but when random rolls of the dice continue producing devastating results for even the most capable paladin, it's hard not to imagine a hint of malice within those otherwise unassuming little pieces of plastic.
Over the years, Dungeons and Dragons gamers have coped with the pain of evil dice by 'shaming' them and posting images of their exiled dice online for all to see. The listed crimes that often accompany the accused dice are funny in themselves, but also offer an amusing insight into the versatility and imaginative aspects of the game. The absurd scenarios that evolve from a bad roll almost make the pain worth it (for us, anyway). Keep scrolling for some of our favorite 'dice shaming' posts from the world of D&D tumblr.

If you've ever played Dungeons & Dragons, you know that it comes with its fair share of frustrations and amusing joys. Every race and class has its own quirks and stereotypes, and because of that, the role-playing game lends itself well to meme creation. Horny Bards. Dimwitted and hulking Barbarians. And then there's the Dungeon Master, who gets a whole lot of memes for attempting to manage the party and come up with an adventure that makes at least a little sense. This gallery covers all of those bases and more.
To the skeptical outsider, D&D might just seem like a silly, time-consuming board game, but the real ones know that it's much more than that. To put it simply, playing D&D is like telling a story with your friends in realtime. If you ever wanted to really bond with a group of people, this classic game is a perfect exercise in cooperation. Even though the game was first published in 1974, it is still a model for many new RPG video games to this day. So whether you're a seasoned tabletop gamer or a curious noob, these D&D memes full of funny references are for all the nerds out there.
It's true that Dungeons and Dragons isn't for everyone. While some people on the internet might dismiss it as a nerdy pastime, the true heads know that's a pretty shallow stance. It's actually a game that requires cooperation, adventure, imagination...and a healthy dose of masochism. Judging by its growing popularity over the past few years, more people are starting to understand its merits. More fans means more of an internet presence. And what does that mean? You guess it. Lots and lots of memes.

Sometimes the most entertaining memes are the dumbest ones. The ones that make you roll your eyes wildly or groan in mock agony. The ones that barely make sense or rely on painful dad-level puns.

There are a few nerdy exceptions, but consider this a break from thinking. You deserve it.
