Board games were always a special part of my life growing up. Whether I was witnessing full-grown adults flipping over Monopoly boards in fits of fury, or playing Risk (horribly) with all the older boys at the annual family camping trip, any board game session was bound to embed long-lasting memories in my mind, no matter how mundane the occasion seemed at the time. It's no wonder so many loyal fans of Dungeons & Dragons keep coming back for more year after year, even with all the hot new open…

The first time I ever played any sort of board game was when I was eight years old. The game was Monopoly and my Dad thought it would be a fun time for my sister and I. While I share his love of competition, he was sorely mistaken. I became mad with power as I destroyed my little sister's spirit, and pretend wallet. My Dad, in turn, relished messing with me. While I struggled to maintain some sort of savings, Monopoly quickly became my sister's least favorite activity. Eventually, she grew so f…

TGIF, nerds and tabletop gamers. It's finally Friday, and that means it's time for another exciting batch of the best Dungeons & Dragons memes we've been able to find on the internet. We've searched Reddit, Instagram, and Twitter, and while some of these memes may be classics, there are quite a few that are as fresh as a just-plucked Daisy. If you're into Dungeons and Dragons, there is a very good chance that you've just been getting the gang back together after a couple years of boring quarant…

Every Friday, the 9-5ers of the world celebrate the arrival of a paltry respite from responsibility. And every Friday we seek to enhance that joy with a collection of the best Dungeons & Dragons memes to catch our eye this week. Sadly, my colleague who was dutifully collecting these comedic specimens has left for another campaign of sorts. I hope that my selections, and growing knowledge of the beloved roleplaying game, will do her justice. So without further ado, here are the best D&D memes we…

Character archetypes can be found in nearly every form of storytelling, and Dungeons & Dragons is certainly no exception. But what if we took it a step further? If D&D classes had corresponding astrological signs, what would they be? Let's start with the barbarian—a fearless warrior whose primary ability is strength. Barbarians fully embrace their primal nature and look down on the weak. The barbarian is definitely an Aries. How about the bard? Bards are musical magicians with a passion for lor…

Games aren't just for the average geek. Did you know that there are quite a few celebrities who are fans of the legendary tabletop game Dungeons & Dragons? Some of the more well-known public figures who have rolled a few d20s in their time include director Jon Favreau, actor Matthew Lillard, My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way, TV host Stephen Colbert, Rick and Morty creator Dan Harmon, TV personality Anderson Cooper, Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward, actor Joseph-Gordon Levitt, and of…

The first time I ever played a board game I was about ten years old. The game was Monopoly and my parents thought it would be a great opportunity to bond as a family. They were wrong. Getting brutally bankrupted by my own father was a kind of cruelty I'd never experienced at the time, and I immediately craved revenge. Monopoly transformed me from an innocent child into a cynical monster who wanted to win at all costs, even if it meant driving the people closest to me into hypothetical poverty.…

Ever feel like your DM is just kind of making stuff up as they go along and likely put zero effort into the prep? Chances are you're probably onto something. But sometimes you just have to ask yourself, "am I having fun?" If the answer is yes, then who cares about the rest? Dungeons & Dragons is special in that way, because even if the DM has no idea what the hell they're doing, the came can still miraculously work somehow. We've rounded up all of our favorite D&D memes of the week. Enjoy, dung…

Keep scrolling for some of our favorite selections this…

For several years, legendary Dungeon Master and voice actor Matthew Mercer has been hosting live Dungeons & Dragons campaigns via YouTube and Twitch in a series called Critical Role . At the beginning of the series, he started out with modest battle maps drawn out on paper. Over time, Mercer's maps became more complex. He made hand-painted elements, three-dimensional map pieces, and used immersive music and lighting. And of course, Mercer's voice acting helped with the overall character buildin…

A lot of people probably don't realize how much influence Dungeons & Dragons has had on the gaming world over decades. Many action and adventure RPGs that we know and love today owe their entire existence to D&D, which created the perfect blueprint for future cooperative roleplaying games. But we probably don't need to tell you any of this. If you here, it's likely because you're already a fan. We've got a bunch of D&D memes for all the tabletop gamers out there.

Four years ago, redditor and D&D gamer u/Doomdecahedron shared a tragic tale about a Brass Dragon named Barnaby. "He was like a puppy," said u/Doomdecahedron, "He gave us shade from the desert sun with his wings and wanted to hear all about our adventures. When we tried to leave, he got real sad and told us to keep talking with him." One day, their bard charmed Barnaby so that he would gather goods to throw the PCs a party when they planned to return four moons from the time they left, which Ba…

Though some purists might disagree, there's really no right or wrong way to get a campaign started. Whether you're an experienced Dungeon Master who painstakingly builds narratives from scratch, or you're new to the game and want to learn through pre-written adventures, any kind of campaign has the potential to be rewarding and memorable. It's all about how the game is played. A DM can methodically put everything perfectly in place and still watch the game unfold in very unexpected ways. One mi…

Welcome back, paladins and rogues. It's D&D day. We've got all the dankest Dungeons & Dragons memes you'll want to share with the PCs before your next meetup. This week, we asked experienced DM Gnarly Rot to talk about his experience playing the game over the years.

People with very little imagination assume games like Dungeons & Dragons are a snooze, but what they don't know is that an exemplary game of D&D can be a thrilling and action-packed experience. All you need is a group of creative minds. A dungeon master's dice roll (followed by a dramatic moment of silence) can be the most intense juncture in the game, depending on what the DM is cooking. The most mundane actions have the potential to spiral into absolute chaos and mayhem, which injects tension…
